Reality stars Ben Higgins and wife Jessica Clarke are overjoyed to become first-time parents. The couple announced the happy news in a joint post on Instagram, marking the due arrival of their baby with a montage of special moments between the couple. “Baby girl coming in February,” the couple captioned the video with a heart emoji, with the last clip in the video being of a sonogram of the baby.
The couple started dating in late 2018, more than one year after the Bachelorette alum, 32, split from his ex-fiancée, Lauren Bushnell. Higgins went Instagram exclusive with Clarke in February 2019. He announced their romance saying, “I’ve been selfishly keeping this girl to myself for too long! Hey friends meet @jessclarke_! I successfully slid into her Dm’s a few months ago.
I took a risk, and I am glad I did. She is someone special, and I look forward to where life is going to take us. Stay tuned for the journey.
” The Bachelor Nation member proposed to the SweatNet co-owner in March 2020. “From my first date in life to the moments in between they all led me to getting down on one knee in front of you @jessclarke_,” the former reality star gushed via Instagram at the time. “This weekend I asked Jessica to give me the honor of being her partner for life.
She said YES! I now officially have the most beautiful, kind-hearted, supportive, well-intentioned person to spend life with! Our adventurous ride through life together is just starting.” The couple wed in Nove.
