JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers Expecting First Child

JoJo Fletcher and her husband, Jordan Rodgers, announced on Thursday, August 28, that they are expecting their first child together. The couple, who got engaged on the finale of The Bachelorette in 2016 and tied the knot in May 2022 after two pandemic-related postponements, shared the news via a joint Instagram post. “We love you so much already, our sweet rainbow baby. 🌈🕊️ Baby Rodgers coming January 2026 🤍,” they wrote.

Fletcher, 36, and Rodgers, 36, expressed their joy and gratitude in interviews with People. Fletcher revealed that she and Rodgers had planned to wait a year or two after their wedding to start a family but found themselves ready sooner than expected. “Now that we’ve had those couple of years, I think the conversation of starting to plan our family is at the forefront of our lives,” she said, noting her excitement at becoming an aunt and Rodgers’s anticipation of becoming an uncle.

The pair have been open about their fertility journey, with Fletcher sharing earlier this year that she had been exploring acupuncture to support conception and remained optimistic that “when it’s meant to be, it will be”. Fellow Bachelor Nation alums and fans immediately flooded the comments with congratulations and well wishes.

JoJo and Jordan’s announcement marks the next chapter of their relationship, which began on reality television nearly a decade ago. Their “rainbow baby” is due in January 2026, rounding out what has been a remarkably patient and resilient courtship and marriage.
