Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk's Romantic Babymoon in Italy Will Leave You Envious

The Bachelor in Paradise couple, Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk, took a romantic babymoon to Italy before the arrival of their second child. Sharing photos from their kid-free trip, the 31-year-old pregnant star recommended the experience with a perfect 10/10 rating. The couple explored Rome, Florence, and Lake Como during their vacation.

As the announcement of her second pregnancy made headlines earlier this year, the former Bachelor contestant shared that time seems to be flying by so fast that she sometimes forgets she's expecting. However, her recent summer getaway with her husband Adam and their 16-month-old son Gates served as a reminder of the precious memories they are creating as a family. She couldn't help but express her gratitude for the experience.

Gottschalk and his wife enjoy taking trips to Europe without their child. They make it a priority to go on at least one big trip per year to not only escape from work, but also to strengthen their relationship as a couple. Recently, they visited Lake Como and shared their experience on social media, calling it a beautiful place to explore with his "beautiful lady" before the arrival of their second child.

The alum from the University of Arizona imparted some "pro tips" to his followers, advising them to acquire a mileage credit card to aid in getting travel deals. Additionally, he extolled the virtues of the couple's travel agent, emphasizing that the professionals possess significantly more experience in this field than the average person. Previously, Gottschalk chronicled the couple's explorations in Rome, where they visited the Colosseum and took a tour of Vatican City.

During their stay in Lake Como, the couple took some time off to relax and unwind. They opted for a more laid-back approach, spending their days chartering a boat and savoring delicious homemade pizza in the charming coastal city. It was during season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2017 when the Grey Suede founder and Gottschalk found love. After two years, the Bachelorette alum popped the question, and the couple had planned to get married in May 2020.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, the couple had to delay their wedding plans. However, they were able to tie the knot in Dallas, Texas in April 2021. Three months after the wedding, Gates shared the news that they were expecting a baby boy, affectionately referred to as their "honeymoon baby," and he arrived on January 18, 2022, via emergency C-section. The couple also announced that they were expecting another child, due in July of the following year.

“Any tips on two under 2? Pray for us! … especially Adam ,” the southern belle joked via Instagram in January.

Ciao, bella! Bachelor in Paradise’s Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk jetted off to Italy on a romantic babymoon before welcoming their second child.

"We had an amazing kid-free trip exploring Rome, Florence, and Lake Como," shared the 31-year-old pregnant star on Instagram on June 7. She also admitted that time seems to be flying by so fast that she sometimes forgets she's expecting baby No. 2, as she highly recommends the trip to anyone who is looking to travel to Italy.

The Arkansas native expressed her delight for the summer vacation with her 33-year-old husband, with whom she already shares a 16-month-old son named Gates. She gushed over the memorable experience, saying, "Grateful to have these memories with Adam!" Gottschalk also enjoyed the European getaway with his wife, and they both appreciated the opportunity to unwind without their little one.

During a recent social media post, the real estate agent expressed the importance of summer trips to Lake Como. Not only do they provide an opportunity to escape work, but they also allow for quality time as a couple before the arrival of their second child. The agent offered some helpful advice, recommending the use of a mileage credit card for travel deals and emphasizing the benefits of working with a knowledgeable travel agent.

During their travels, Gottschalk captured the couple's visit to Rome, where they explored iconic landmarks such as the Colosseum and Vatican City. Moving on to Lake Como, the pair opted for a more relaxed pace, spending their days enjoying the serene waters on a chartered boat and savoring delicious homemade pizza.

The founders of Grey Suede, Gottschalk and his partner, found love while participating in the fourth season of Bachelor in Paradise back in 2017. Two years later, Gottschalk, a former Bachelorette contestant, popped the question and the couple was set to get married in May 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, their plans were put on hold. They finally exchanged vows in April 2021 in Dallas, Texas.

Their first child, referred to as the "honeymoon baby," was set to arrive in January 2022, as revealed by Gates three months after their wedding. However, an emergency C-section was necessary for the arrival of their baby boy on January 18, 2022. The couple then announced that they would be expecting another child due in July of the following year, with the southern belle jokingly asking for tips on managing two children under the age of two, particularly for her husband Adam, via Instagram in January.
