Emily Ferguson Claps Back at Critics Calling Her Son’s 1st Birthday ‘A Little Much’ – See Her Response
Keeping it real.
Bachelor Nation star and famous twin Emily Ferguson Karlsson married professional hockey player William Karlsson in July 2022 in Las Vegas.
The couple has since welcomed two sons, Beckham and Maxwell, and this week, Maxwell celebrated his first birthday.
Emily took to social media to share sweet moments from the celebration along with a heartfelt caption.
Alongside the photos, she wrote, “One year ago today my heart doubled in size. Happy birthday my sweet Maxwell, you are everything and more. Thank you for choosing us to be your parents. I’ve watched you grow (way too fast) and I’m forever amazed by your energy, curiosity, and sweetness. I love you more than words could ever express.”
She shared pics from the party, which featured a ball pit, slide, and bounce house. The theme was “Maxwell is a Wild ONE!” and Emily called it “a party to remember.”
After posting the pictures, Emily revealed a message from a follower who commented, “this is a little much of a one year old!!!”
Emily responded, “There are always these types of DMs. Hear me out… I don't disagree, but I promised myself I’d go all out for birthday parties! Especially the first birthday because it’s so, so special — and I’m really glad I did because we made the best memories today with all our favorite people.”
She didn’t let the negativity dampen her joy. Emily said the day was “so dreamy,” and we’re thrilled she had such a meaningful celebration.
Sending Emily and her family love as they begin this next chapter with two toddlers!
