Jessica Graf, a former contestant on Big Brother, recently welcomed the arrival of her and Cody Nickson's fourth child. The couple announced the news on Instagram, capturing the heartwarming moment with an audio recording of their newborn's first cries.
Graf, 33, and Nickson, 38, revealed in July that they were expecting their second child.
“We are welcoming a new addition in January 2024,” Graf and Nickson shared on Instagram. “This comes as a surprise to us as well! We are excited to meet you, little one.”
After announcing Graf's pregnancy, Nickson, who also has a daughter named Paisley from a previous relationship, took to social media to express his love and gratitude for his wife. In an Instagram post, he shared a sweet message, acknowledging Jessica's dedication to growing their family despite wanting to feel normal again and have her body to herself.
They first crossed paths on the set of season 19 of Big Brother in 2017 and later became engaged in February 2018.
"I accepted! On Tuesday, February 13th, my closest friend proposed to me," Graf shared on Instagram, posting a video of the proposal. "Since the day we met, he has been fulfilling my dreams every single day!"
Nearly seven months later, the duo tied the knot in October 2018.
The Amazing Race winners welcomed daughter Maverick in 2018 followed by daughters Carter and Atlas in 2020 and 2022, respectively.
Shortly after Atlas was born, Graf expressed her desire to continue growing her family. "I can't put into words how much I love having kids. I never anticipated loving it this much, but it's almost addictive. I just adore them," she shared with We in September 2022. "I want to have a fourth child and I could be persuaded for a fifth, but definitely not more than that."

“Cody could create a whole football team if I would let him,” she joked.
