Hannah Ann Sluss and Jake Funk are about to embark on a new chapter in their lives, as they eagerly await the arrival of their very first rose—a bundle of joy. The Bachelor alum recently revealed that she and her NFL star husband, who tied the knot in a picturesque ceremony in Italy last June, are expecting their first child together.
"Our heartwarming news unfolded during a magical trip to Dubai," Hannah Ann shared with People in an interview published on June 22. "It was a delightful and unanticipated surprise, a moment etched in our hearts forever."
Though the 29-year-old glows with health and happiness during her second trimester, her pregnancy journey hasn't always been a bed of roses. "The first trimester was all about resting and sticking to the bare essentials," she explained. "Food aversions plagued me, making almost everything taste off, except for fruits, which I've always adored."
As for the name of their soon-to-be-arrived little one, the couple is still brainstorming, but they're leaning towards a moniker that holds significance and ties to their family heritage. "We've embarked on the exciting quest of name-picking, cherishing the idea of choosing one that's meaningful and connected to our family in some way," the reality TV star revealed. "Becoming parents is the ultimate blessing, and we're in awe of God's goodness during this wonderful season of our lives."
This joyous announcement marks a year since Hannah Ann and Jake, whose romance blossomed after Jake slid into her TikTok DMs ahead of the 2022 Super Bowl, exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony. "We opted for an intimate affair, focusing solely on the commitment and the sanctity of marriage," Hannah Ann told People the day after their wedding. "It's so easy to get swept away by the glitz and glam, but we wanted something simple, elegant, and timeless."
Indeed, even in 2022, Hannah Ann made it abundantly clear that she and Jake, 27, shared a unified vision for their future. "I wouldn't change a thing about him," she told E! News at the time. "He's my best friend, and we genuinely cherish each other's company."
