JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers Expect First Child After Fertility Struggles: A Rainbow Baby Journey

JoJo Fletcher is welcoming a new journey—motherhood. The former Bachelorette star announced that she is pregnant with her first child and husband Jordan Rodgers. Their joyful news, shared on Instagram on August 28, was a beach video where JoJo cradled her baby bump, smiling brightly in a brown bikini and white cover-up.

The couple, who met on Season 12 of The Bachelorette in 2016 and married in 2022, described their child as a "rainbow baby"—a term used for a baby born after miscarriage or fertility loss. Even though JoJo hasn't shared that they had a previous loss on social media, she has shared candidly about their fertility journey, such as trying acupuncture to boost conception chances.

Jordan commented that she was amazed at the strength of JoJo, stating in a blog post, "You have been such a rockstar through the ups and downs of this journey. Your strength, resilience and positive attitude are an inspiration." The couple's announcement also included a sonogram and tiny white baby shoes, symbolizing the hope and healing this pregnancy embodies.

Baby Rodgers is expected to arrive in January 2026, a heartwarming landmark for the couple who have been forthcoming about their aspiration to become parents. Their experience is relatable to many taking similar paths, offering an inspiration of happiness and resilience.
