Francesca Farago and Jesse Sullivan Expecting First Baby Together: ‘We Are So Excited to Be Growing Our Family’

Francesca Farago and Jesse Sullivan are growing their family!

The reality TV star, 29, and her TikToker fiancé, 33, announced on Sunday that Farago is pregnant and expecting the couple’s first baby.

They shared the happy news via a joint Instagram post, with Farago writing in the caption, “We wanted to take this special day to celebrate this amazing milestone with all of you. We’ve brought you with us through the loss, so we couldn’t wait to bring you along for the win.”

“I am still pretty newly pregnant, and there’s so much more to come, but we are so excited to be growing our family with Arlo as the coolest older sibling!” she continued, referring to Sullivan’s 15-year-old child.

“AHH IM PREGNANT!😭💫”, she added.

Sullivan commented on the post: “I finally got her pregnant! So excited to be a dad to more world changers! 👶🏻👶🏻.”

Sullivan also posted a video on TikTok on Sunday, documenting the highs and lows of their journey to conceive a baby. Clips show Farago giving herself shots and undergoing various procedures as part of the IVF process.

“We’re pregnant! It’s been such a struggle to get here, but we felt like TDOV [International Transgender Day of Visibility] was the perfect day to let you in on our celebration,” Sullivan captioned the video. “I’m so proud of @Francesca Farago for fighting her way to get here, and I fall more in love with her every day.”

The couple, who has been documenting their journey with IVF on their respective TikTok accounts, chatted with PEOPLE in August about planning their “huge” wedding and expanding their family after getting engaged this past spring.

“We were debating for a while about if we wanted to go big or not,” Farago told PEOPLE exclusively. “We decided we only do this once and to just go huge!”

After meeting on a Zoom call (Farago was interviewing the influencer for a TikTok pride event) there was an “instant attraction through the screen,” she said.

“We both couldn’t stop staring at each other,” she told PEOPLE. “After the Zoom I remember running around the house and telling my friends I found my new boyfriend.”

The family-oriented couple said that they want to expand their household as soon as possible — but they are waiting until after they tie the knot in May.

“We want to get pregnant right after the wedding,” Farago said, adding that what she and Sullivan are most excited about married life is “babies babies babies!”

“Growing our family, getting more animals, raising kids together and just being in love,” the Too Hot to Handle star added.
