BABY ON BOARD! The Bachelor's Hannah Ann Sluss Spills Pregnancy Secrets and Reveals Husband Jake Funke's Hilarious Reaction

In a shocking twist, reality TV queen Hannah Ann Sluss is expecting her first child with hubby Jake Funke - just one year after their fairytale wedding in Italy! The 29-year-old former Bachelor contestant, who's now a lifestyle content creator with a whopping 1.3 million followers on Instagram, took to the platform over the weekend to share the bombshell news with fans.

The expectant mom posted adorable pregnancy portraits, captioning them, "Each day growing you is a blessing. God's plan is more perfect than we ever imagined. We know God is in this story, and we can't wait to meet you." Her NFL pro hubby re-shared the post via Instagram Story, echoing, "A blessing from God. Love you and the newest addition to our family."

The couple, who tied the knot on a picturesque Italian vineyard last year, revealed that they're expecting their little bundle of joy in November. When asked about the surprise pregnancy reveal, Hannah Ann gushed, "We found out we were expecting during a trip to Dubai. It was such an unexpected and joyful surprise! A moment we'll always treasure."

But here's the best part: Jake's reaction video is coming soon, and let's just say it's going to be EPIC! Hannah Ann teased, "I will be sharing Jake's reaction video soon, it was so funny!"

Before making their big announcement public, the power couple took precautions to ensure they shared the news with loved ones at just the right time. Hannah Ann spilled, "We waited until I was around 12 weeks, once I started feeling a bit better. We shared the news at a family party, and it was the best surprise! Everyone was so excited and incredibly supportive."

The newly expectant mother also revealed that she's been partnering with pediatrician-founded health brand Zarbee's to ensure her little one is well-prepared for the world. She said, "As first-time parents, we've been doing our homework and being super intentional about everything that will go in and on our little one. With our baby arriving in November, right when cough, cold, and flu season kicks into high gear, it was important for us to be prepared."

Hannah Ann also opened up about her pregnancy experience so far, admitting that the first trimester wasn't exactly a walk in the park. She shared, "The first trimester was all about rest and sticking to the basics — work, walks, and taking care of Dash." (That's their adorable pup!) "I had a lot of food aversions, and almost everything tasted off except fruit (which I've always loved!)."

Now that they're settling into motherhood, Hannah Ann and Jake are busy brainstorming special names for their little one. The expectant mom revealed, "We've started talking names and love the idea of choosing one that's meaningful and tied to family in some way."

As they prepare to welcome their new addition, the happy couple is overflowing with gratitude. Hannah Ann gushed, "Becoming parents is the greatest gift, and we're just in awe of God's goodness in this season." She added, "We're so thankful for this moment and can't wait to meet our little blessing."
