Shocking Update: Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Sarah’s Pregnancy Saves Xander Relationship – New Baby Overcomes Forgery Lie?

Salem is no stranger to scandal, heartbreak, and emotional twists — and the latest shocker on NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” proves once again that love and lies often go hand in hand.

In a surprising turn of events, Sarah Kiriakis (Linsey Godfrey) may find that her unexpected pregnancy becomes the lifeline that saves her crumbling relationship

with Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer). But is a baby enough to heal the scars left by deception?

In recent episodes, “Days” fans have watched Sarah struggle under the weight of a monumental secret. As it turns out, she was deeply involved in the forged letter scandal tied to Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier). While Xander believed that Philip had acted alone in deceiving him and manipulating Titan, Sarah knew the truth all along—and said nothing.

This revelation threatens to demolish the trust that Sarah and Xander had painstakingly rebuilt after years of ups and downs. The betrayal runs deep, not only because of the forgery but because Sarah stood by and watched Xander be humiliated, lied to, and manipulated—without ever coming clean. For a man who values loyalty, Xander will undoubtedly be devastated when he learns the extent of Sarah’s complicity.

However, in true soap opera fashion, just when it seems that all is lost, a plot twist emerges that could shift the tide.

During the May 13 episode of Days of Our Lives, Xander and Sarah shared a tender moment that, in hindsight, may have laid the groundwork for their future. Xander suggested the idea of giving their daughter, Victoria Kiriakis (played by twins Islay and Paisley Kerr), a sibling before she gets too old. While the proposal caught Sarah off guard initially, she quickly warmed up to the idea, showing signs of genuine excitement about expanding their family.

Could this seemingly innocent conversation be foreshadowing what’s to come? It’s beginning to look that way.

Sources close to the storyline suggest that Sarah may already be pregnant—or at least will be soon. If true, this development could dramatically alter how Xander reacts when the truth about the forgery finally surfaces. A new baby could serve as an emotional anchor, grounding them during a time of upheaval and reminding Xander of the love they share, despite the betrayal.

There’s no denying that Xander’s world will be rocked when Sarah’s secret comes to light. The rage and disappointment will likely consume him at first, particularly because he has endured betrayal far too many times in his life. But this time, it’s different. This time, a child may be involved.

For Xander, who has long yearned for family and stability, the news of Sarah carrying his child could be a game-changer. It introduces a complex emotional dilemma: walk away from the woman who lied to him, or fight for a future with her—for the sake of their growing family.

Sarah’s timing, whether intentional or not, may prove critical. If the baby news breaks shortly after her deception is exposed, she could find herself with a rare opportunity to appeal to Xander’s heart in a way few others could. Parenthood has softened him, and the idea of giving Victoria a sibling may strike a chord that mere apologies never could.

That said, this storyline is far from simple. Forgiveness doesn’t come easily for a man like Xander, especially when trust is betrayed so completely. While the pregnancy could provide a path toward reconciliation, it’s not a guaranteed happy ending. Xander will have to wrestle with his emotions, torn between hurt and hope, between the past and the future he once envisioned with Sarah.

And let’s not forget Sarah’s own emotional journey. She didn’t set out to hurt Xander—but her silence, no matter how well-intentioned, caused pain. As she navigates the fallout, Sarah will have to confront the consequences of her choices and prove that she’s worthy of a second chance—not just for herself, but for the family they’re trying to build.

As the drama unfolds in Salem, viewers can expect powerful performances, emotional reckonings, and, as always, plenty of surprises. Will Xander find it in his heart to forgive? Can Sarah redeem herself through motherhood and love? Or will this be one lie too many for the Kiriakis marriage to survive?

“Days of Our Lives” is leaning hard into this emotionally charged arc, giving fans the kind of layered, heartfelt drama that has kept the show running for decades. The baby storyline adds depth and complexity to what could have been a simple betrayal tale—and sets the stage for some truly unforgettable moments.

So, is Sarah’s pregnancy her “get-out-of-jail-free” card? Perhaps. But as every DOOL fan knows, nothing is ever easy in Salem. One thing’s for certain: this pregnancy, whether it’s confirmed or still looming, is about to shake the foundation of Sarah and Xander’s relationship.
