CASTLE IMPOSSIBLE’s Daphne and Ian Fig have two exciting updates — the birth of their new baby boy and their near-completed renovation on a 500-year-old chateau.
They named their new addition Adrian, E News reported.
“We feel so loved and supported by everyone in this incredible life experience! Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. We are so blessed to have him happy and healthy in our arms,” the couple shared on Instagram, adding that the renovation is not quite done yet.
The most recent renovation involves an intricate floral ceiling.
“I got to say, if only a few pedals have broken off over the last 400 years, then they’ve held up pretty well,” Ian said. “Anytime we have guests at the chateau, this makes their jaw drop.”
The pair talked about chiseling their own petals out of stone or making special molds.

The couple has worked hard to babyproof the chateau, as renovations aren’t always baby-friendly.
“We have a nursery in the chateau, which is actually right next to [the] office. That’s babyproofed, but then there’s a lot of rooms that are, like, the walls are torn out, there’s nails sticking out,” said Ian.
Daphne joked that they’ll just keep the baby on them all the time so that he can’t go anywhere unsafe.
“We are going to have the kid in our room to start with,” said Daphne. “It’s essentially two rooms. Basically, the bridal suite that we renovated last year, we’re going to have a space for baby there.”
She can’t wait for Adrian to be a little older so he can ride a little bike throughout the chateau, as she did when she was a child.
“I have so many memories of my grandma following me and just, like, yelling out to my grandpa from the chateau to the hunter’s lodge. That’ll be fun,” she said.
They host weddings at the chateau and hired a planner to make things easier for Daphne during her pregnancy.
“Morning sickness was not fun, but we had a lot of support from the team that was with us filming the projects, which was so, so helpful, and honestly made it all possible,” she said.
HGTV hasn’t confirmed there will be a Season 3, but the show’s Instagram recently hinted that there will be.
In July, the account shared a photo of Ian cradling Caillou, their cat, with the caption, “My only request for next season is that Ian does all his interviews with Caillou.”
Fans went crazy in the comments.
One person said, “We NEED a next season. Please continue until all the rooms have been done. This show makes me happy. 😁💕”
Now that they have a baby, fans will be eager to keep up with the family and their ginormous home.
