The Bachelor’s Ben Higgins & Wife Jessica Clarke Expecting First Baby

The Bachelor‘s Ben Higgins is going to be a dad.

The Bachelor Nation alum’s wife Jessica Clarke is pregnant with their first baby. The Colorado-based couple announced the news on social media Aug. 18—and also took the opportunity to reveal the sex of their child.

“The next chapter of our love story!” Jessica, 29, wrote in an Instagram post shared on both of their pages. “Baby girl coming in February.”

She and Ben, 35, shared a video of their road to baby. It includes footage of Jessica giving herself a hormone injection in her stomach area. She and Ben also added a clip of one of her ultrasounds, which shows her to be 12 weeks pregnant at the time.

The Instagram video also contains footage of the couple celebrating their pregnancy news with family and sharing a group hug with their dog Waylon, as well as throwback clips of the dad-to-be proposing to his now-wife and the two appearing at their 2021 wedding in Tennessee.
