Haley also posted a photo at the time showing the couple pretending to read a prop newspaper outside of a cafe.
Dubbed The Baby Tribune, the newspaper displayed a "BABY PALVE IS ON THE WAY" headline with an "It's an IVF Miracle!" subheading.
Haley's pregnancy announcement came several months after she had shared she was undergoing "extremely, extremely emotionally draining" fertility treatments in a TikTok video in June 2023.
"It's also important for me to recognize that even though I'm so happy to share this, a part of me aches for anyone who sees this and feels pained," Haley wrote in the Instagram post announcing her pregnancy.
"I know that feeling so well. As I've shared my story I've been able to build a beautiful and strong community of people also struggling with infertility," she continued.

Haley and Oula, a professional hockey player, got married in June 2022 at Resorts World Las Vegas.
The Bachelor alum told Oula through tears in her wedding vows, "Since the day I met you, I knew you were a special man. I even came home and told my sister, 'This is the kind of man you marry.'"
And Oula told his blushing bride in reply, "The wise Matthew McConaughey once said. 'The woman of your dreams doesn't exist, so you might as well find the best one on this earth.' And in this case, it's kind of true, because you are exceeding every dream I could ever possibly have."

Haley and Oula said "I do" one year after Oula had popped the question in May 2021. At the time Oula proposed, they had been dating for nearly two years.
Among Haley's 75 wedding guests were Amanda and Lauren, who competed for the heart of The Bachelor Season 20 star Ben Higgins along with Haley and Emily.
Emily married William Karlsson, another professional hockey player, a month after Haley's wedding in July 2022.
She and William welcomed their first child, a baby boy, in May 2023.
Haley and Emily from Las Vegas found fame when they competed on Ben's season of The Bachelor in 2016.
After neither bubbly influencer and model was able to win Ben's heart, they subsequently appeared on Bachelor in Paradise's third and fourth seasons.
When Emily got romantically involved with William in 2017, Haley returned to Mexico for another shot at love on Bachelor in Paradise's sixth edition in 2019.
Following Ben's stint on The Bachelor, he and his winner, Lauren B., starred on a season of Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After? on Freeform but later called off their engagement and split.
