The Big Bang Theory Secretly Told Viewers About Amy and Sheldon's Kids

The Big Bang Theory Season 10 Proved Sheldon Wanted Kids

TBBT proved that Amy and Sheldon had plans for children, and Young Sheldon later confirmed their family expansion. In The Big Bang Theory season 10, episode 8, 'The Brain Bowl Incubation,' Sheldon and Amy's desire to have children was revealed when they blended their DNA as part of an experiment. This led Sheldon to become obsessed with the idea of creating a super-intelligent child together. Despite his struggles with George's legacy, Sheldon showed no reticence around the idea of raising children of his own.

The episode portrayed Sheldon's absurd mating rituals for laughs, but it never attempted to hide or deny his desire to have children. Amy, while not appreciating Sheldon's view of her as a human incubator, seemed open to the concept of starting a family in the future. Young Sheldon later confirmed that Amy and Sheldon did indeed have children, thereby validating their established plan from The Big Bang Theory season 10. This revelation by the spinoff affirmed their intention to start a family.

The confirmation of Amy and Sheldon's future family was not only hinted in The Big Bang Theory but was also canonically confirmed in the spinoff, Young Sheldon. While The Big Bang Theory suggested Amy and Sheldon's desire to have children, Young Sheldon season 6 later confirmed that the duo had multiple children, fulfilling Sheldon’s promises from The Big Bang Theory season 10. This revelation by Young Sheldon was less about dropping shocking new information, and more about confirming what The Big Bang Theory had already laid the groundwork for.
