Pregnant Amanda Stanton shared the delightful news of her upcoming addition to the family with her two daughters in a heartwarming manner. The 33-year-old Bachelor Nation alum announced on Thursday, August 3, through her social media that she is expecting her third child, her first with husband Michael Fogel. Taking to her Instagram Story, she documented the precious moment when she revealed the news to her 8-year-old Kinsley and 6-year-old Charlie.
Stanton posted a photo of a cake adorned with blue and pink icing that read "Big Sisters." In a follow-up Story, she captured her daughters' reactions. At first, the girls seemed puzzled upon opening the cake box, but Fogel, who is 33 years old, could be heard explaining the surprise to them in the background.
"Wait, are we becoming big sisters?" Charlie inquired. "What does that even entail?"
Amid the excitement, Stanton and Fogel slid an ultrasound photo across the table. “So you actually did go to the doctor!” Kinsley says.

Charlie continues to ask questions in disbelief before running to give her mom a hug.
Stanton shares custody of her older daughters with her ex-husband Nick Buonfiglio. Following her divorce, she briefly dated Oren Agman before making her relationship with Fogel public on Instagram in February 2021.
According to a source, Amanda is enthusiastic about the potential of this relationship. They are taking things slow and simply enjoying their time together, as it is still in the early stages. The source also revealed that Fogel has already met Stanton's daughters, as they spend half of their time with her.
By the end of the year, the couple were engaged. Stanton and Fogel tied the knot in September 2022.
