There’s a Bachelor baby on the way!

Molly and Jason Mesnick are expecting their first child early next year.

“Yes its true!” Jason, 36, confirmed on his Twitter account today. “WAHOOOOOOO!!! Molly is going to be a MOM and TY a BIG BROTHER! YIPPEEEEEEE!”

“I step away for 5 minutes & come back to a ton of love,” Molly, 28, tweeted. “Thank you! We couldn’t be more excited about the pint size peanut on the way :)”

Jason and Molly first met when she was a contestant — and the runner-up — on his season in 2009. The former bachelor proposed to Melissa Rycroft on the season finale. During the After the Rose special, Jason broke up with Melissa and asked Molly for a second chance, in which she accepted.

The pair got engaged in October 2009 and married in February 2010.

This is the first child for Molly and second child for Jason, who has a 7-year-old son, named Ty, from his first marriage.
