Big Brother’s Rick Devens Sings Happy Birthday to Daughter From Inside the House — Family Moment Breaks the Internet

Rick Devens Is Back — And This Time He’s Playing for His Kids

After stealing hearts on Survivor 50, Rick Devens has made his return to CBS reality TV on Big Brother 28 — and from day one, he’s been playing with his family front and center in his mind. The former news anchor joined an all-star lineup that includes Big Brother alum Angela Murray and Survivor‘s Dee Valladares, quickly forming a powerhouse alliance. But off the game board, it’s his family that’s got fans talking.

The Birthday Moment That Made Everyone Cry

Just days into the Big Brother season, Rick did something that no game strategy could have scripted. He rallied the entire BB28 cast to gather around and sing Happy Birthday to his daughter Juliet — right there in the middle of the house. Live feed watchers caught the moment as it unfolded, but it was when wife Becca sat their kids down to watch the clip that the internet collectively lost it.

Becca posted the emotional Instagram video with the caption: “The entire #BB28 cast sang happy birthday to Juju. I love when we’re all reminded that these games are GAMES and that all the ‘characters’ are people with lives and families at home. Thank you, #bigbrother cast. All of you. #RickDevens is the best daddy ever.”

Fans flooded the comments, calling it one of the most touching moments in recent Big Brother history. “I’m not crying, you’re crying,” wrote one viewer. Others called it a reminder of why they fell in love with Rick during Survivor 50.

Meet Rick Devens’ Wife Becca and Kids Jack & Juliet

Rick married Becca Devens back in 2012. A nurse and blogger by trade, Becca has taken over Rick’s social media during his time in the house, keeping fans updated on the family while he competes. Before Rick left for Big Brother, Becca shared a touching Father’s Day tribute: “Happy Father’s Day to this goober of a dad. I sure picked a fun one to make these weird kids with. We’re the luckiest.”

The couple’s two children — Jackson (Jack), 12, and Juliet (Juju), who just turned 9 — have become unexpected fan favorites of the season. Fans who have followed Rick since Survivor 38 and Survivor 50 already knew how fiercely devoted he is to his family, and the birthday moment in the BB house only cemented that reputation.

Rick’s Bromance With Christian Hubicki Is Still Going Strong

You can’t talk about Rick Devens without mentioning his Survivor 50 bromance with Christian Hubicki. After Rick was announced for Big Brother 28, Christian rolled up to the Devens house — only to find Rick already gone. So he hung out with Jack and Juliet instead, which is honestly peak wholesomeness.

At the Survivor 50 red carpet, the two had joked about their dynamic: “I think some of the best showmances are with people that are really just bros,” Rick said. “There should be a name for it… Like a bromance.” Fans are already counting down the days until a Christian cameo on the live feeds.

Can Rick Win It All on Big Brother 28?

With a strong alliance locked in, a house full of fans rooting for him, and his kids watching from home — Rick Devens has every reason to play hard this season. Big Brother 28 airs Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at 8/7c on CBS.
