Jenna Compono and Zach Nichols are getting ready to expand their family.

"Introducing our newest addition, baby number 3, arriving in February! 💕" the Challenge alums announced in an Instagram post on Thursday, August 10. The heartwarming photo showcased son Anthony, 23 months old, and daughter Liliana, 8 months old, proudly posing next to a sonogram attached to a "Coming Soon" sign. Both children were dressed in matching shirts that said "Big Brother" and "Big Sister" to celebrate their upcoming roles.

Numerous former costars from the couple's Challenge days swiftly expressed their congratulations. Kaycee Clark posted on Instagram, saying, "#SquadGoals Congratulations to your lovely family!!" In response, Kyle Christie remarked, "3 under 3. Congratulations. ️."

Compono and Nichols, both in their thirties, first crossed paths during the filming of The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2 in 2015. Their on-and-off relationship lasted for several years and eventually led to their engagement in December 2019. In March 2021, in a private ceremony, Compono and Nichols became husband and wife, coinciding with the happy news of Compono's pregnancy. Their first child, Anthony, was born in September of the same year. Reflecting on the experience, Compono shared with We that she was overjoyed when she saw her baby boy, even though Nichols had the privilege of witnessing the birth firsthand. Holding Anthony on her chest, Compono felt an overwhelming sense of love and fulfillment, appreciating the fact that they had brought this beautiful life into the world. They haven't been able to let him go since then, as they are completely enamored with their little bundle of joy.

At the time, she expressed excitement about bringing Anthony home and enjoying the experience of being parents. She praised Zach for his hands-on approach and admitted that she hadn't changed a diaper yet. She continued to be impressed by him every day and remarked that he seemed naturally suited to fatherhood.

In April 2022, Compono and Nichols celebrated their long-awaited wedding, which they had previously scaled down due to COVID-19 safety measures. Anthony was by their side throughout the joyous occasion.

"It was worth the wait," she told Us exclusively, reflecting on her New York wedding. "Getting married is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so I wanted everything to be just as I had envisioned it. This wedding held special meaning for me because it took place in my home state, allowing most of my loved ones to be present. Having always desired a grand celebration, it was truly wonderful to have such a significant milestone take place in the familiar surroundings of my hometown."

In a delightful turn of events, Compono shared the joyous news of her second pregnancy nearly three months later. Their daughter, Liliana, joined the family in December 2022.
