Stacy also shared the news

Stacy also went to Instagram to share the adorable photo Ben did. She started out her post saying, “Happy (what would have been) wedding day! 👰🏻❤️ Of course there are mixed emotions and sadness of what today would have been….. But today we get to share even more exciting news with everyone!”

She continued, “We get to bring a little baby in to this world February 2021 and love on it for the rest of our lives! Something I never, ever thought was possible for me!”

Stacy went on to share how years ago doctors told her she could probably never get pregnant. When she met Ben and knew how badly he wanted to be a dad she went in for more testing.

She said, “I was then told I could have kids but my numbers showed extreme low ovarian function. I wrote off being a mom for years and the thought of what struggles lay ahead made be push the idea away even more.”

Stacy went on to say she tracked her cycles for about 5 months then they tried. They were pregnant on the first month of trying. She said,  “I never thought being a mom was going to be apart of my story. I’ve been battling a lot of anxiety and fear recently. But there is no one I’d rather share this incredible journey with. The love and support has been overwhelming. And I can’t wait to have baby Z apart of our wedding next year!”

Ben and Stacy started dating in 2017. They got engaged in August 2019. Fans love following Ben and his journey. He has been a fan favorite and someone many had wanted to see as The Bachelor. 

Congrats to Ben and Stacy on starting their family.
