Sam, a 33-year-old consultant who appeared on Married at First Sight's third season, got engaged to her boyfriend Chris Wise in January after dating for almost one year, and now she's more than four months pregnant, People reported.
"I was very excited to find out I was pregnant," Sam told the magazine. "I wasn't sure if it was going to be possible since I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was younger."
In order to confirm she's expecting her first child, Sam revealed she had taken "six pregnancy tests and then two more a few days after."
Sam noted that starting a family with her 31-year-old analyst boyfriend is "the most amazing dream come true."

The pair already have baby names picked out but they do not know whether a son or daughter is on the way.
"We both really want a little boy, but we wouldn't be disappointed to have a little girl!" Sam shared. "All that really matters is that the baby is happy and healthy."
Chris apparently proposed marriage to Sam while they were celebrating his birthday in Atlanta, GA, and Sam had announced the news on Instagram shortly after ringing in the year 2018.
"Just being able to have this experience and create something so amazing with the man I love is all I ever wanted," Sam told People about her growing family. "We are both so overjoyed and cannot wait to see what the future holds."
Sam tied the knot with Neil Bowlus on Married at First Sight in 2015, but they split in June 2016.

Sam and Neil's breakup on Decision Day was one of the most heart-wrenching scenes the show has ever had.
Sam spent weeks treating Neil poorly, but once she determined she must give him a chance and really get to know him, she started to fall for him. Once Sam realized, however, that she wanted to stay married to Neil, her husband had already been hurt and checked out as a result -- and Sam completely understood why.
Neil ultimately declared he wanted to file for divorce, prompting Sam to run outside and cry on her hands and knees.
But Sam and Neil remained good friends after the show wrapped and continued to provide support and encouragement for one another. After all, both individuals grew leaps and bounds by participating in the extreme experiment of marrying a stranger.
Married at First Sight currently airs sixth-season episodes every Tuesday night at 9PM ET/PT on Lifetime.
