The baby news is not too hot to handle!
Francesca Farago and her fiancé Jesse Sullivan announced they're expecting a boy and a girl during a recent "chromosome reveal" party celebrating their twins on the way.
"I didn't gather you all around just to tell you how much I love this woman," Jesse told the crowd in a TikTok video posted on July 29, gesturing to the pregnant Too Hot to Handle alum. "I know you're really here to know what babies we are having."
As friends and family cheered, he said the couple is "so happy" about their son and daughter's impending arrival.
"I don't know why I'm crying," Francesca jokingly added, as she fanned the tears in her eyes. "That was too much."
But Francesca has never had a preference. As the former Perfect Match star previously noted, she and Jesse—who is already dad to 15-year-old Arlo—"just want kids" together.
"We can pick gender," she shared on the Sofia With an F podcast in May 2023. "We won't."
And given that Jesse—who came out as transgender in 2019—was previously pregnant with Arlo, Francesca said her partner has gone above and beyond to ensure that she feels comfortable throughout her own journey.
"He doesn't want me to cook, he doesn't want me to clean, he wants to just love me and support me," she told E! News in June. "I don't think any other male, especially, would ever be able to understand like Jesse does, because he's done it and he's raised a child."
Francesca added, "Having him has been amazing. Like, 10 out of 10, highly recommend being engaged to a trans man who has given birth."
For more of their love story, keep reading.
Though Francesca Farago tried her luck with love on a few reality dating shows, including Too Hot to Handle, she met her perfect match in Jesse Sullivan while hosting an event online.
“TikTok hired me to host an event for Pride Month,” Francesca told Elite Daily in 2023. “It was over Zoom. It was a TikTok live event with Willow Smith and the app’s LGBTQ+ Trailblazers. I interviewed three people and Jesse was one of them. We met on Zoom and just fell in love very quickly.”
And though her time on season one of Netflix’s Perfect Match (which aired in 2023) didn’t work out, Francesca knew that fate had bigger plans in store.
In fact, as the reality star shared in a TikTok, “Literally the minute I left that villa, I texted Jesse, and I was like, 'Hey, are you still single? I'm traumatized and do you want to hang out?'"
And the rest is history. Since then, the pair have shared insight into their romance on social media. “We’re just so in love, and I feel that’s obvious with what we post,” she told Elite Daily. “Some couples share a filtered version of the happy times, but they don’t post anything negative. We actually don’t have any negative times. It’s all positive.”
Two years after they first met, Francesca and Jesse were ecstatic to start a brand new chapter together.
“WE’RE ENGAGED,” Francesca shared in a May 2023 Instagram post, “a glimpse into the most magical night ever, obsessed with our family… what is life!!” Fast forward to early 2024, and the couple made it clear that they were keen on starting a family, even before their nuptials.
"We want a huge wedding, but I think it would be so cute if we had a little baby in our arms or two babies in our arms at the wedding," Francesca exclusively told Live From E! host Laverne Cox at the People’s Choice Awards that February. "So, hopefully we can have a baby first and then do the wedding after."
And as predicted, Francesca and Jesse—who is dad to teenager Arlo from a previous relationship—announced they were expanding their family.
"We wanted to take this special day to celebrate this amazing milestone with all of you," Francesca wrote on Instagram March 31. "We've brought you with us through the loss, so we couldn't wait to bring you along for the win. I am still pretty newly pregnant, and there's so much more to come, but we are so excited to be growing our family with Arlo as the coolest older sibling! AHH IM PREGNANT!"
As for Jesse, he was more than excited to share the news. "We're pregnant!" the influencer, who came out as transgender in 2019, captioned a clip. "Its been such a struggle to get here, but we felt like TDOV was the perfect day to let you all in on our celebration. Im so proud of @Francesca Farago for fighting her way to get here, and I fall more in love with her every day. Thank you for following our journey, and heres to more trans joy!"
A week after the pair confirmed Francesca is pregnant, Jesse shared they'll be adding not one but two more members to their family.
"We're having twins," Jesse wrote under his April 7 TikTok. "We know it's early but we're preparing for the best."
