Ben Higgins and his wife, Jessica Clarke, will have a future “bachelorette” on their hands.
The “Bachelor” alum, 35, and Clarke, 29, announced on Instagram Sunday that they are expecting their first child — a baby girl.
The couple shared a video that showed all of the happiest moments of their romance, from the moment Higgins proposed in March 2020 to their first ultrasound.

A brief moment in the video showed Clarke injecting herself in the stomach, prompting some fans to wonder whether she turned to IVF to conceive; however, most comments expressed joy for the expectant couple.
“YES YES YES YES BABY DISNEY PRINCESS!!!!!” wrote “Modern Family” star Sarah Hyland, who is married to Higgins’ groomsman Wells Adams.
“So beyond happy! That baby girl hit the jackpot with y’all as parents,” responded “Bachelor” alum Becca Tilley.
Higgins and Clarke got together following his failed engagement to Lauren Bushnell (not pictured). jessicaclarke_/Instagram The couple tied the knot in Nashville in November 2021. jessicaclarke_/InstagramHiggins and Clarke tied the knot in a romantic ceremony at the Estate at Cherokee Dock near Nashville in November 2021.

Higgins and Bushnell, 34, ended their relationship one year later. She has since married country singer Chris Lane, with whom she shares two children.
