Big Brother’s Nicole Franzel Expecting Second Child After Years of Struggling to Conceive
Sage Matthews here, your friendly neighborhood doomsayer, bringing you the latest in celebrity life updates—because apparently, the world still spins, and people still make babies, even when everything else is on fire. Nicole Franzel, winner of Big Brother Season 18, has announced she and husband Victor Arroyo are expecting their second child. Because nothing says “chaos theory in action” like trying to conceive for three years, only for it to finally happen and now—boom—another kid’s on the way. Of course it is.
On August 24, Franzel, 33, shared the news on Instagram with a series of photos from a family shoot in Michigan, where the couple resides. Dressed in a flowing floral dress and lounging on a picnic blanket with Victor and their four-year-old son Arrow, Nicole revealed her baby bump with a heartfelt caption. “We are PREGNANT!! Praise Jesus!!” she wrote. “A HUGE thank you to those who have been praying along side us for this miracle. 3 years in waiting and God said it’s time.”
She also shared the news on Big Brother: Unlocked, the companion show to the current season, where she toasted fans with what she called “grape juice”—because, you know, no alcohol this time around. “I’m pregnant,” she confirmed with a smile. “We’re so excited!”
For those who’ve followed Franzel’s journey post-Big Brother, this news comes after years of public struggle with secondary infertility. In a May Facebook post, she opened up about the emotional toll of trying to conceive again after Arrow’s birth. “Three years of trying. One miracle baby. And a whole lot of surrender,” she wrote. She described months of negative tests, medical advice to wait after her C-section, and eventually, a shift in mindset: “Eventually, I realized it wasn’t about what I was doing or not doing. It was God. It’s always been God.”
Friends and fellow Big Brother alumni flooded the comments with support. Daniele Briones, Josh Martinez, and Hannah Chaddha all chimed in with heartfelt congratulations, proving that even in the cutthroat world of reality TV, there’s still room for genuine joy.
Of course, because nothing in life is simple, the announcement also comes with a side of irony. Nicole and Victor met on Season 18 of the show—back when love connections were still a novelty and not yet the default ending for most contestants. Now, they’re a married couple with two kids on the way. Meanwhile, the latest cast of Big Brother Season 27 includes a mix of intriguing personalities: from a professional bull rider to a dungeon master, an aura painter to an AI consultant. Because apparently, the show’s producers are still trying to find the next big drama combo, and we’re just here for the trainwrecks.
So yes, Nicole Franzel is pregnant. A second child is on the way. A family is growing. And the universe, in all its infinite chaos, continues to churn out surprises. Some of them even good ones, occasionally.
