Reality TV Love Stories Blossom into Parenthood: A Look at the Newest Bachelor and Bachelorette Babies
Bachelor and Bachelorette stars have expanded their families with adorable babies Discover the reality TV couples who have welcomed little ones into their lives
Bachelor Nation is experiencing a significant baby boom as couples from the popular ABC franchise continue to welcome adorable little ones into the world. Among these couples are Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici, as well as Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum.
During season 17 of The Bachelor, Sean, who worked as an insurance broker, found love with Catherine. They exchanged vows in California in January 2014 and just two years later, they excitedly announced that they were expecting their first child. In November 2017, their son Samuel was born, followed by Isaiah in May 2018 and Mia in December 2019.
Lowe and the Washington native are uncertain about having a fourth baby due to the demanding nature of their current children. They are taking time to pray and discuss the decision, as they strive to be focused on teaching and being present for their little ones. Adding a fourth child might be considered selfish at this point since their current children require a great deal of attention. Giudici has accepted the possibility of having only three children.
In June of the prior year, Lowe revealed exclusively to Us that he and the graphic designer had discussed the possibility of growing their family through adoption.
"I'm unsure if we've finished having biological children," said the Texas native in 2020. "Personally, I'm leaning towards hoping that we are, since if we do decide to adopt...it would be quite a handful with all the kids. Ultimately, Catherine will make the final decision, and I will respect her choice. However, I do look forward to the day when we no longer have to deal with diapers."

'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' Babies: See Which Reality Stars Have Given Birth
Bachelor Nation is experiencing a baby boom as numerous couples from the popular ABC franchise have welcomed a series of cute babies into the world. Notable examples include Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici, as well as Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum.
During his appearance on season 17 of The Bachelor, Sean Lowe, an insurance broker, had the fortune of meeting and falling in love with Giudici. After getting married in January 2014 in California, the couple happily announced that they were expecting their first child. In November 2017, they were blessed with a son named Samuel, followed by the arrivals of their sons Isaiah and daughter Mia in May 2018 and December 2019, respectively.
Lowe and the Washington native are undecided about having a fourth child due to the challenges of parenting their current children. They are prayerfully considering and discussing the possibility but are mindful of the attention and time their children require. Giudici acknowledges that it may be selfish to add another child at this time and has accepted the idea of having three children instead.
Hebert and Rosenbaum, who had a son named Fordham in September 2014 and a daughter named Essex in November 2016, announced their separation in October 2020. Despite their split, the former couple now co-parent their two children and make an effort to document their birthday parties and holiday celebrations together.
According to Hebert, their dynamic is "complex" as she shared with her Instagram followers in August 2021. She emphasized the importance of honesty, openness, and stability with their kids. Hebert also highlighted the need to maintain a positive perception of J.P. in their children's eyes. Whenever she faces a difficult decision, she asks herself what is best for the kids and lets that guide her actions. She acknowledges the temptation to let emotions interfere even in an amicable divorce but emphasizes prioritizing the well-being of their children.
