Reality star Bliss Poureetezadi-Goytowski and Zack Goytowski are taking a new step in their relationship. They’re going to become parents! The couple, who met and eventually tied the knot on season 4 of the Netflix series Love Is Blind has announced they are expecting their first baby.

Bliss and Zack, who tied the knot in May 2022, will be welcoming their little one in spring 2024. “It’s a little bit nerve-wracking,” Bliss shared in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, “but I think it’s also such a beautiful thing. Babies are miracles and blessings, and I think we’ve been so open to sharing our journey and our relationship with the world, and this is our next big beautiful thing. I’m really happy and I hope that it brings joy to other people. It’s definitely brought us a ton of joy.”

The Bliss Theory founder revealed that the couple had been trying to grow their family. “We had actively been trying, but it was definitely a surprise. I had felt a little queasy … and I took the test by myself because I wanted to surprise Zack whenever it was [confirmed]. I found out early in the morning while Zack was sleeping and it was shocking. It was like, does that really say positive? What is happening? It was definitely probably one of the most surreal moments of my life.”

Earlier this month, Zack shared a post in honor of the couple’s 1.5 year anniversary, and revealed they decided to renew their vows. He wrote on Instagram, “Today marks our one and a half year anniversary! To celebrate our love, we had a private vow renewal at the exact spot where we first said “I do.” These vows carried more weight to me than the awe-inspiring mountain range we held hands beneath. The weight of our journey, the trials we’ve conquered, and the love that’s grown stronger.”

Congratulations to Bliss and Zack on the news of their pregnancy!
