Alongside their baby announcement, The Bachelorette alum and Alex shared an Us Weekly photo of the parents-to-be standing on a beach and holding up sonogram images.

Alex told Us that she found out she's pregnant while Garrett, a firefighter, was at work in Summer 2024.

"I was home for a couple of days just holding the secret in myself. I didn't know if it was real. I was, like, cautiously optimistic," the yoga instructor recalled.

Once Garrett returned home from his shift, Alex had "candles lit" in their home and she surprised him with the big news.

"I wrote a little card and shared the news just with him, and then we were both really excited," Alex gushed, adding how they "kept it to ourselves for a while."

Garrett told the magazine that he's "super stoked" to become a dad and he immediately "got super giddy" upon learning he has a baby on the way.

"I was pumped up. She ran over, and she's like, 'Oh, my God, can you believe it?' I was like, 'No way,' because I was thinking, like, 'That happened so fast,'" Garrett shared.

Garrett and Alex said they just told their families over the holidays.

The pair told Garrett's parents about the baby by giving them Christmas ornaments on Thanksgiving that revealed their grandchild is due in June 2025.

For Alex's family, the couple told them while celebrating Christmas in San Diego, where they stayed for a week.

Alex and Garrett, however, have no plans to find out the baby's sex until after he or she arrives.

"We feel like there's only a little bit of surprises that you can get in life. So we're going to wait until the end," Garrett revealed.

And Alex added, "We want to share that moment [between] just us two. So we're going to wait until the day he or she comes, either way, boy or girl."

Garrett noted that he doesn't have a preference either way as long as he can teach his little one how to fish.

"I'm just hopeful to have a little fishing buddy, boy or girl," Garrett said.

"Someone to go out adventuring with us, traveling around the world together. I need somebody out there fishing with me."

Garrett also gushed about how he "can't wait" to see Alex as a mother.

"I think it's going to be a lot of fun together," Garrett shared of raising a child with Alex.

"She's going to pass on all of her smarts and her athleticism and everything like that, just adventuring around."

And Alex insisted that Garrett is also "going to be amazing" as a dad, who has apparently been talking about starting a family "for so long."

Alex concluded, "Seeing him light up every time we talk about things is definitely giving me so much faith that he's going to be an amazing father"

Garrett and Alex got married in November 2023 on a beach in Hawaii and proceeded to have their honeymoon in Hawaii.

Garrett announced how he had proposed marriage to the yoga instructor in early October 2022.

"Our engagement was exactly how I imagined it. I love you so much Alexandra. I can't wait to spend forever with you lil Al," Garrett captioned a slideshow of photos featuring The Bachelorette Season 14 winner popping the question to Alex on the bow of a yacht.

Garrett also added the following hashtags to his post, "#engaged #shellyeah."

Alex also uploaded photos from Garrett's romantic marriage proposal on her own Instagram account.

"When two become one. I love you Garrett Vincent Yrigoyen. I want all of you forever, everyday," Alex wrote alongside the images. "HECK YES I WILL MARRY YOU!!!! #engaged."

Garrett, who won Becca Kufrin's heart on The Bachelorette's fourteenth season in 2018, went Instagram official with Alex in November 2020 by posting photos of the couple enjoying a day at a pumpkin patch.

A friend wrote on Garrett's post, "I'm impressed by the girl, but not the pumpkin. I feel like you could have done way better... also, does she know what she's getting herself into?"

Garrett replied, "Hahah she hasn't met you guys yet, so no."

The friend then joked, "She might realize she could have done better too... haha," to which Garrett playfully responded, "Haha damn you, you're right though."

Alex eventually joined in and wrote, "Bring it on," which showed her confidence level in her relationship with Garrett.

Becca made a "last-minute decision" and moved to Los Angeles, CA, in September 2020 to embrace a "new adventure" in her life just about a week after announcing that her engagement to Garrett had ended.

Split rumors began swirling about Becca and Garrett's relationship in June of that year, but neither person spoke on them until Becca confirmed their relationship was over on a September 2020 episode of her "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.

"So I don't think it's going to come as a shock to anyone, but Garrett and I have decided to end our engagement," Becca shared with her listeners.

"If you followed us on Instagram for the past couple months, you'll have noticed I spent a lot of time in Minnesota. I was with family and close friends, and he was out on the West Coast doing the same. We were really just trying to take the time and gain some clarity as to what was the next best step in our lives, whether that was together or as individuals."

A source told Us at the time that Becca "didn't want to be reactive" and "never intended to be cryptic or mysterious" about her relationship status.

And Becca confirmed on her podcast she and Garrett had slowly arrived at the decision to call it quits on their relationship "after many conversations."

"It wasn't something that we just arrived at one night... There's much more to it," Becca explained.

Becca, however, said in her breakup announcement that she and Garrett had enough time to "come to terms" and be at peace with their choice to split.

"We've realized that we still have so much love and kindness and compassion in our hearts for the other person, but sometimes people's paths just go different ways... Life happens and sometimes people drift apart and have differences," Becca noted.

E! News first reported in August 2020 that Becca and Garrett had called off their engagement after the pair was noticeably spending a lot of time apart.

"Their lifestyles don't mesh anymore. Garrett wants different things and they came to a realization that they aren't compatible anymore," a source told E! News at the time, adding, "They are trying to keep it low-key because they are still working things out, but the relationship is definitely done."

Becca is now married to Bachelor in Paradise alum Thomas Jacobs and they have one child together, a son named Benson "Benny" Lee Jacobs Kufrin, whom the couple welcomed in September 2023.

Becca and Thomas tied the knot one month after Becca gave birth to Benny in October 2023.
