Ben Higgins, known from ‘The Bachelor,’ and his wife, Jessica Clarke, have embraced a new chapter with the birth of their first baby daughter. Higgins shared the joyful news on Instagram, posting a heartfelt message along with a picture of Clarke and their newborn.
“Our baby girl has arrived, and both she and Jess are doing great,” Higgins captioned a photo, expressing his admiration for the medical team that supported his family. He humorously added that he believes their daughter is exceptionally beautiful. Meanwhile, supporters eagerly await their first glimpse of the baby, who first needs a bath before fame.
Jessica and Ben have been on a journey to parenthood for some time. They announced the pregnancy as their ‘next chapter’ back in August 2024. Jessica revealed the couple’s challenges with conceiving, sharing their fortunate journey with intrauterine insemination (IUI) on the ‘Almost Famous’ podcast, as she had faced irregular ovulation before.
The couple’s love story has captured attention since they began dating publicly in 2021. Ben proposed in 2022, and the pair tied the knot in 2021 in a dreamy Tennessee wedding. Fans have followed Ben’s romantic endeavours since his time on ‘The Bachelor’ and ‘The Bachelorette’ shows.
Higgins once bravely competed in front of millions, seeking love with Kaitlyn Bristowe on Season 11 of ‘The Bachelorette’ in 2015, moving on to lead ‘The Bachelor’ in 2016 where he got engaged to Lauren Bushnell. However, that relationship ended, and Ben found love anew with Clarke.
With their new daughter, Ben and Jessica are excited about the future and the next stages in their lives as parents. The journey to this point has been a rollercoaster, but their joy now speaks volumes about their love and resilience.
