Former Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock announced that she is pregnant with her and her husband Chris Siegfriedis the third child.
“Something’s brewing… and it’s not my coffee. 🥰,” Hartsock, 37, wrote on Instagram on Saturday, May 4th, alongside a video. She lowered her camera to show off her baby bump. “Baby #3 coming this November 👶🏼.”
Hartsock and Siegfried also have sons Asher (7) and Zander (5).
The duo is Bachelor Nation’s rare success story. They met in 2013 on the ninth season of The Bachelorette. After Hartsock was eliminated Sean Lowe‘s season of The bachelorShe led her own season of the spin-off and chose Siegfried as her winner after another Brooks Forester voluntarily dropped out of the final three.
Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried are one of Bachelor Nation’s rare success stories. Hartsock first competed for Sean Lowe’s heart on season 17 of “The Bachelor,” which aired in 2013. After making it to his hometown dates, the bridal stylist had to pack her bags. While Lowe ended up marrying winner Catherine Giudici, Hartsock was named fiancée […]
“I feel like I was blindsided by my feelings for Brooks and didn’t realize that the one thing I always needed was right in front of me,” Hartsock told Siegfried during the final rose ceremony. “You have been by my side from the beginning… I thank you every day for never giving up. And you mean the absolute world to me. I love you. I love you so much.”
She then accepted Siegfried’s marriage proposal in the August 2013 finale of The Bachelorette.
The duo tied the knot in January 2015 and recently celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary. “NINE years ago today my life changed forever! ❤️ I walked down the aisle to my forever!” Hartsock wrote in a gushing tribute on social media in January. “It’s been almost a decade full of life lessons, growth, hills and valleys, but one thing is for sure: I wouldn’t want to share this life with anyone else. With each passing year our love becomes stronger, more vulnerable and even more closely connected. I always fall forward @chrisrsiegfried ❤️ I love you.”
As one of the Bachelor franchise’s few success stories, Hartsock is often asked for advice. “I feel like if Chris and I had met outside of the show, we would have ended up together anyway,” she shared exclusively Us weekly‘s “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast in 2021. “But I think one of the most important things – especially with newer couples because they face a different level of social pressure – is to keep the relationship honest about the relationship Make it a priority and not become famous.” Stop caring about your Instagram followers. And if you love the person, then make that your priority and maybe move away from LA instead of moving to LA.”
Hartsock added that there are “just too many distractions” in the City of Angels. “And if they’re both chasing fame, obviously that’s not going to work because that’s where their priority lies,” she explained.
She and Siegfried raise their family in Oregon.
