The former The Bachelorette star is expecting her first child with fiance Kevin Manno.
"We are so thrilled that we are going to be parents! We've been pretty vocal about our desire to start a family as soon as possible and feel incredibly lucky to be able to share that we have a little one on the way!" the couple told Us Weekly.
Fedotowsky, 31, and Manno, a 32-year-old TV host, got engaged in early September 2015 after dating for a little over two years. They were apparently friends before they got romantically involved and one thing led to the next.
"It's true - we're pregnant! You see, last year, when we started planning our wedding, we couldn't find any good ring - bearers or flower girls, so we decided to make our own. Ha! Kidding," Fedotowsky captioned a comical photo of herself wearing "Mom jeans" on Instagram.

"But really, we are so ready to be parents and already love our little one more than we could have possibly imagined."
Fedotowsky additionally said in her Aliluvs blog she and her fiance decided to become parents on the Fourth of July last year and she views this pregnancy as a miracle.
"It feels surreal to let everyone know, since this has been our little secret for a while now... I never fully understood the absolute MIRACLE that happens inside of a woman's body. At every ultrasound I am in awe at how much our little one has grown. It blows my mind that I can gently push on my belly and wake him/her up," she wrote.
"How is that possible? How did we create this life? It's all so overwhelming and beautiful... I plan on blogging a lot through my pregnancy - sharing the ups and the downs (So far it's been ROUGH! Get ready for blogs in great detail about my trips to the bathroom. Oh yay!). We plan to share every emotion and every milestone."
The former E! News host told Us last month she was ready for babies "yesterday."

Fedotowsky confirmed she was dating the former host of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition on Lifetime in May 2013.
This marks Fedotowsky's second time getting engaged. Roberto Martinez had proposed during the finale of The Bachelorette's sixth season, which aired in August 2010. The couple split in November 2011.
Manno has reportedly been married before. He wed his ex-wife in 2011 but they called it quits a year later.
Rumors circulated Fedotowsky and Martinez briefly reunited for a fling in December 2012 when they attended The Bachelorette couple Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum's wedding.
