Leah’s Heart Events
Heart Events in Stardew Valley are special events that occur when a player reaches a certain number of friendship hearts with a villager.

The heart events consist of several small scenes that take place between the player and the villager, often involving a unique location, activity, or dialogue.
They offer a unique experience and are an integral part of building relationships in the game.
There are multiple heart events for each villager, and each event becomes available as the player’s friendship level with the villager increases.

Regardless of the player’s response, they will receive a small boost in friendship points with Leah.

After Marrying Leah: What Happens Next?
After marrying Leah in Stardew Valley, players will see a few changes in their daily routine. Leah will move into the farmhouse with the player and will have her own schedule, just like the other villagers. Leah will add a small room to the right of the house where she can go to paint.
She will also create a small outdoor area right behind the farmhouse where she can go to sculpt. She will still pursue her passion for art and will continue to create sculptures and paintings.
Leah will also help out on the farm by watering crops and feeding animals. In addition, she will gift the player coffee every morning, which will give the player a temporary speed boost for the day.
Players will also have the option to have children with Leah. They can do so by purchasing a crib from Robin’s carpentry shop and placing it in their bedroom. After a few days, the player will receive a message that Leah is pregnant.
