First JoJo Fletcher was a contestant on The Bachelor Season 20; then she was the lead on The Bachelorette Season 12. That’s where she met TV football analyst Jordan Rodgers, subsequently marrying him in 2022.
Now JoJo is happily anticipating her new role as “mom.” On August 28, she and Jordan shared an Instagram announcement that they’re expecting. Despite an earlier pregnancy loss, the couple is joyfully looking forward to expanding their family.
“We love you so much already, our sweet rainbow baby,” JoJo captioned her announcement. “Baby Rodgers coming January 2026.”

In addition to the announcement, the pair shared a video of themselves enjoying some beach time. JoJo proudly showed off her bump in a brown bikini and long, white cover-up.
With fatherhood fast approaching, Jordan wrote an emotional message to his partner regarding their rocky passage into parenthood. “You have been such a rockstar through the ups and downs of this journey,” he responded on her post. “Your strength, resilience and positive attitude are an inspiration. Can’t wait to see you as a Mom. Falling more in love with you every single day!”
The couple, who moved to Puerto Rico during Covid and fell in love with the island, have lived there permanently since 2021. Following a six-year engagement, they finally tied the knot in 2022. Not long afterwards, Jordan made it clear that they hoped to grow their family “in the near future.”
“It’s gonna be one of those moments that happens when it happens,” JoJo said at the time. “There’s days where we’re like, ‘We’re good.’ Then there are days where we’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, wouldn’t it be great to have a little nugget running around — a mini me or mini you?’”
Earlier this year, JoJo shared in her Instagram Stories how she was getting her body ready for pregnancy. “Trying acupuncture to help with fertility,” she wrote alongside a snap of her stomach covered in needles. “I haven’t talked about our TTC [trying-to-conceive] journey at all, but I know so many of us are in the same boat. Thinking and sending positive vibes your way if you are on this same journey.”
The Bachelorette can be streamed on ABC.com.
