In the world of Yellowstone and its gripping prequel 1923, few storylines hit harder than a scandal brewing beneath the surface—and the latest twist involving Julia Schlaepfer’s character, Alexandra, may just be the biggest yet.
As 1923 barrels toward its season one finale, viewers are left stunned by a potential pregnancy bombshell: Alexandra might be expecting a child. But the question that’s sending shockwaves through the fanbase isn’t just whether she’s pregnant… it’s who the father is. All eyes turn to Spencer Dutton (played by Brandon Sklenar), whose passionate love affair with Alexandra has been central to the series. But now, uncertainty clouds their future—and the Dutton name.
When Julia Schlaepfer first learned of the twist in Alexandra’s storyline, her reaction was one of disbelief mixed with deep excitement. “I gasped,” Julia admitted in an exclusive behind-the-scenes interview. “It’s such a powerful way to deepen Alexandra’s journey. She’s already risked everything for love—now she’s got more than her own life on the line.”
But Alexandra’s character is more than just a love interest or a soon-to-be mother. She’s quickly become one of the show’s most compelling women—bold, rebellious, and undeniably ahead of her time. “Alexandra is a liberated woman before ‘liberated’ was even a thing,” Julia says proudly. “She follows her heart, not society’s rules. That’s what drives her.”
It’s this defiant spirit that drew Alexandra to Spencer in the first place. But if the rumors prove true—if Spencer isn’t the father—everything could crumble. Fans are already speculating about a shadowy figure from Alexandra’s past, perhaps a brief affair or a secret she’s carried from her days in London. Could this be the real father? Or is the doubt just another tragic obstacle meant to test Spencer and Alexandra’s bond?
What’s more, the pregnancy could have far-reaching consequences for the Dutton family line. With the ranch’s future and family honor always at stake, a child born under unclear circumstances would surely send shockwaves through Montana—and potentially fuel tensions in Yellowstone’s future timeline.
As Spencer reels from the possibility that he’s been betrayed, Alexandra finds herself facing a storm of judgment. But is she guilty of deception, or simply another woman caught in a web of tradition, expectation, and power?
Only time will tell if love can survive such a bombshell—or if Alexandra’s baby will divide the Duttons forever.
Stay tuned to 1923, the world of Yellowstone, and Paramount+ for more drama, more scandal, and more answers.
