The Bachelor family is about to get a little bit bigger–former Bachelorette Ashley Hebert and husband JP Rosenbam are expecting their first child together!
“I’m a little nervous, but we’re very excited,” Ashley told InTouch. “I’ve wanted a child for a while.”
Ashley and JP met on Ashley’s season of The Bachelorette in 2011 and married in December 2012. ”We were in love on the show” JP told Parade in 2013, “but our love now is so much different than it was [on the show].”
The couple, who grace the cover of InTouch this week with Ashley’s growing baby bump on full display are three months along and expecting their newest family member in October. “It’s nice not to have to keep a secret anymore,” JP told the magazine. “We’re beyond thrilled.”
According to the magazine, the couple spent two months trying to conceive before they received the happy news. And as luck would have it, they got the official confirmation at a recent Bachelor event: Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici‘s wedding! Ashley described taking several tests that offered a “faint line,” but it wasn’t until they took one the day of Sean and Catherine’s nuptials in Santa Barbara that they knew for sure.
“There was legitimately a line,” JP said. “That’s when we officially found out — of course it would be at a Bachelor wedding!”
Now, fans and fellow members of Bachelor Nation are sending their love to the parents-to-be:
Congrats @ashhebert @JP_Rosenbaum! What amazing parents you'll be!
