English term or phrase: As soon as she did.......
Context:

They married, Sophie quickly got pregnant. As soon as she did, the fantasy relationship was over.

(To all: it seems quite tricky to translate 'As coon as she did'

I'm sure you will come up with great translations.

Many thanks

y ni bien ... quedó embarazada


Explanation:
I would rephrase the whole thing this way,


Se casaron y Sophie prontó quedó embarazada. El embarazo acabó con toda la fantasía de la relación./ El embarazo hizo que la fantasía de la relación se desplomace.

O:

Se casaron y ni bien Sophie quedó embarazada toda la fantasía de la relación se terminó / se acabó.
