Reality star Garrett Yrigoyen is going to be a dad! The Bachelorette alum and his wife Alex announced they are expecting their first baby together. “We couldn’t be more excited and grateful.”
In an Instagram post, Garrett revealed that the couple’s newborn is expected to arrive in June 2025. While he did not reveal his baby’s sex, he did share, “I’m just hopeful to have a little fishing buddy, boy or girl.” The new dad is looking forward to “someone to go out adventuring with us, traveling around the world together. I need somebody out there fishing with me.”
In an exclusive interview with US Weekly, Alex shared that she learned she was pregnant while Garrett, a firefighter, was at work. “I was home for a couple of days just holding the secret in myself. I didn’t know if it was real,” she recalled. “I was, like, cautiously optimistic.” When he returned home, Alex lit candles to set the mood. “I wrote a little card and shared the news just with him, and then we were both really excited.” Garrett recalled his reaction sharing, “Immediately I got super giddy. I was pumped up. She ran over, and she’s like, ‘Oh, my God, can you believe it?’ I was like, ‘No way,’ because I was thinking, like, that happened so fast.”
While the couple, who tied the knot in November 2023 in Hawaii, learned of Alex’s pregnancy in summer 2024, they held off on telling their families until the holiday season. They shared the news with Garrett’s family on Thanksgiving and Alex’s family learned the news on Christmas.
Congratulations to Garrett and Alex on the news of their first baby!
