Reality star Garrett Yrigoyen is a dad! The Bachelorette alum and his wife Alex announced the birth of their first baby together. “We love you so much already”
In a joint Instagram post, the couple shared a series of images of their newborn. The couple welcomed a son on June 9th and named him Cole Wayne Yrigoyen. “Hello world! Meet our son,” Garrett started in the caption of the post. He went on to share that Cole arrived early and gave an update on life as a new dad. “He made his debut a few days early and our hearts are fuller than we ever imagined. We’re still soaking up every second as a family of 3. We love you so much already sweet boy!”
The firefighter announced his wife’s pregnancy in January, and while they shared that their baby would arrive in June, they didn’t reveal their son’s sex beforehand. However, Garrett did open up about being happy regardless of his baby’s sex. “I’m just hopeful to have a little fishing buddy, boy or girl.” He went on to share that he’s excited for “someone to go out adventuring with us, traveling around the world together. I need somebody out there fishing with me.”
The couple first revealed they were dating in October 2020, sharing their first Instagram posts together. They went on to tie the knot in November 2023 in Hawaii. Less than a year later in the summer of 2024, they learned they were pregnant. The couple decided to wait until the holiday season before sharing the news with their family in person. They told Garrett’s family about their pregnancy at Thanksgiving and revealed the news to Alex’s family at Christmas.
Congratulations to Garrett and Alex on the birth of baby Cole!
