Reality TV stars Giannina Gibelli and Blake Horstmann have announced that they are expecting their first child together.
The pair, who appeared on Love Is Blind and The Bachelorette respectively, confirmed the news in a joint Instagram post this week, which included a photo of Blake kissing Giannina’s bump.
“First comes love, then comes baby H,” they wrote in the caption. “We’re so grateful that life has led us here and over the moon to be parents to our sweet baby come spring 2024!"

The comment section was understandably full of well-wishes, with one follower writing: “I’m so happy for you two! THIS. IS. AMAZING!” Another user wrote: “Why did this make me tear up! Soo happy for you both.”
Giannina appeared on the first season of the Netflix dating show, where she coupled up with Damian Powers. The couple split on their wedding day, but got back together ahead of the reunion special, though they split up for good in early 2021.
Blake appeared on the 14th season of The Bachelorette in 2018, eventually finishing as runner-up behind Garrett Yrigoyen.
Giannina and Blake met during filming for All Star Shore last year, which saw a plethora of reality stars compete for a mammoth cash prize.

But Giannina isn’t the only Love Is Blind star to celebrate fantastic news this week.
Her season one co-stars Amber Pike and Matt Barnett posted a heartfelt video reel to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary.
“5 years later and somehow I really do love you more today than the day we said ‘I do.’” wrote Amber in the caption. “The most important thing that I’m so thankful that we’ve gotten right is how much we are willing to work for each other to keep growing together.”
Love Is Blind streams on Netflix. The Bachelorette is available in the UK via Hayu or in the US on ABC.
