JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers, stars of the reality television series The Bachelorette, have welcomed their first child, a daughter named Romy Blair Rodgers, born on December 23, 2025. The couple announced Fletcher’s pregnancy in August 2025, sharing their excitement with fans via social media.
Emergency Delivery Marks a New Chapter
Fletcher detailed the unexpected circumstances surrounding Romy’s arrival in an Instagram post. She revealed that during a routine sonogram, doctors advised an emergency cesarean section was necessary. “What a whirlwind these last couple of days have been but in the most magical way,” Fletcher wrote. At 5:37 PM, they welcomed their daughter, expressing their overwhelming joy: “Romy Blair Rodgers, you are our whole world.”
Fletcher, aged 35, and Rodgers, aged 37, first met during the twelfth season of The Bachelorette in 2016. The couple became engaged in the season finale and married in May 2022. In the years leading up to their daughter’s birth, they expressed a desire to start a family, with Rodgers mentioning in an interview with Us Weekly in April 2022 that they were eager to have children, indicating, “I don’t think we’ll wait a long time.”
Fletcher also spoke candidly about their journey to parenthood, noting the challenges they faced. “Jordan and I have been on our own fertility journey — and man, it’s been a journey,” she told Us Weekly in July 2025. “But I do keep positive about the situation and I know that when it’s meant to be, it will be.” She emphasized the uniqueness of each couple’s experience with family planning, adding, “When the time comes and we have a little baby Rodgers, it’ll be a very, very exciting moment.”
Celebration and Support
In a heartfelt birthday tribute to Fletcher in November 2025, Rodgers praised her strength and resilience throughout the pregnancy. He described her as “the love of my life and future best mom in the world,” highlighting her ability to balance multiple commitments while preparing for their child. “You have shown grace and love, resilience and strength,” he wrote, acknowledging her tireless efforts during this new chapter in their lives.
Fletcher and Rodgers shared their excitement on social media, referring to their baby as a “sweet rainbow baby” and announcing her due date for January 2026. “We love you so much already,” they captioned a joint post, underscoring their anticipation for their growing family.
This new development marks a significant moment for the couple, who have captivated audiences since their time on The Bachelorette. Their journey reflects not only the challenges of starting a family but also the joy and support they have found in each other. As they embrace parenthood, Fletcher and Rodgers look forward to the adventures that lie ahead with their daughter, Romy.
