While Bachelor Nation stars go on the franchise to find love, most contestants do find it — just not with the lead. Following their time on the show, the reality stars often find the person of their dreams and begin growing their families.
And most recently, former Bachelor alum Sydney Hightower became a first-time mom with her husband and 49ers football player, Fred Warner.
“Beau Anthony Warner,” the duo shared in a joint post on March 11, 2024. “03/07/24. The best day of our lives.”

More than one year after tying the knot in June 2022, the duo announced they were expecting their first child together.
“The past several months we have experienced the most precious moments of our lives,” she gushed on Instagram in October 2023.” Every weekly milestone and new development has been indescribable … the best is yet to come!”

First meeting on the beaches of Bachelor in Paradise in 2015, Ashley and Jared were contestants on season 2 of the popular spinoff, but it wasn’t until 2018 that their romance sparked.
After tying the knot in 2019, the pair welcomed their first child, a son named Dawson, in January 2022.
The BiP alums revealed they were set to be parents again in 2024, after announcing they were expecting baby No. 2.
“I try to teach him, ‘Where’s the baby? It’s in the belly!’” Ashley told People of her son’s reaction following the big announcement on January 22, 2024. “Sometimes I’m like, ‘Where’s the baby?’ and he’ll point to his belly. So he doesn’t get that it’s my belly. He has been extremely, even more so, of a mommy’s boy since this child has been in my belly.”
