“Bachelorette” alum JoJo Fletcher and husband Jordan Rodgers are expanding their family with a rainbow baby.
Fletcher, 34, and Aaron Rodgers’ brother, 36, took to Instagram Thursday with a triumphant joint post announcing the news. “We love you so much already, our sweet rainbow baby. Baby Rodgers coming January 2026 ,” Fletcher captioned their video post.
A “rainbow baby” is commonly known as a child born following a miscarriage.
In the clip, the mom-to-be wore a breezy white beach dress over a brown bikini as she showed off her growing baby bump on the beach at sunset. Rodgers wore a coordinating white and tan outfit.
Rodgers cradled and kissed her belly as the pair celebrated their impending arrival with ultrasound images and an impromptu dance in the sand. At one point, the couple carried a tiny white pair of shoes while walking on the beach.
The parents-to-be set the emotional video post to Novo Amor’s “State Lines.” The former pro football player and TV personality took to the comments thread to gush over his glowing wife.
“Love you so much @joelle_fletcher you have been such a rockstar through the ups and downs of this journey. Your strength, resilience and positive attitude are an inspiration. Can’t wait to see you as a Mom falling more in love with you every single day!”
Followers in the comments thread also weighed in on the news.
“Oh so so so so happy for you!!!!!! Those rainbow babies are extra magical ,” one person wrote, while another remarked, “oh my gosh, so so so exciting! Congratulations to the both of you!”
“My fav bachelorette of all time. the world is thrilled for you. congrats!! ,” gushed a third.
The couple met on season 12 of “The Bachelorette” in 2016, and they became engaged at the end of the season. They married in May 2022 after postponing a potential wedding date due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Prior to their pregnancy announcement, Fletcher — who also appeared on “The Bachelor” in 2016 — had been open about her fertility journey with her husband.
“Fertility is such a sensitive topic to anybody going through it,” the reality TV star told Us Weekly in July. “Jordan and I have been on our own fertility journey — and man, it’s been a journey.”

“But I do keep positive about the situation and I know that when it’s meant to be, it will be.”
“When the time comes and we have a little Baby Rodgers, it’ll be a very, very exciting moment,” she predicted.
Fletcher and Rodgers told Page Six in 2023 that having children was “definitely the next phase” of their life together.
“Everybody around us is having babies, so it is absolutely a conversation,” Rodgers said.
“We always knew that we wanted kids at some point in our life,” Fletcher explained at the time, adding that it was “definitely at the forefront of [their] conversations.”
“It’s a much more prevalent conversation these days,” she divulged.
