Giannina Gibelli and Blake Horstmann are excitedly welcoming their first baby and recently hosted an animal-themed shower. The couple celebrated their pregnancy on January 6 at the Halcyon Hotel in Denver, Colorado. Joined by her boyfriend, 34-year-old Horstmann, the 30-year-old reality star enjoyed an afternoon of joy, laughter, and anticipation as they prepare for their little one's arrival. Gibelli's representative exclusively shared the details with Us.
The baby shower featured a neutral color palette of green, brown, and beige, complemented by beautiful flowers from Perfect Petal and delectable treats from pastry chef Saura Kline. Attendees were treated to mini animal cakes after enjoying a delicious brunch prepared by executive chef Daniel Young.
In November 2023, Gibelli and Horstmann announced that they were expecting their first baby. "I am so in tune with my body," Gibelli shared during an Amazon Live event. "We had just returned from Morocco, and when I was in L.A., I experienced a very light menstrual cycle. I found it odd, and when we returned home, I felt a fluttering sensation and pressure."
