Dr. Travis Stork Is 'Pumped' About Becoming a Father
Dr. Travis Stork and his wife Parris Bell Stork are about to become a family of three!
Travis and Parris tied the knot on August 3, 2019, and they're expecting a baby boy in the coming weeks. The parents-to-be opened up to People about being pregnant in quarantine and how their plans quickly changed due to the stay-at-home orders from coronavirus.
"Bachelor" fans remember Travis from Season 8 of the show, which premiered January 9, 2006, and was filmed primarily in Paris. There's a little serendipity that his wife's name is Parris! Nonetheless, the former Bachelor told People he was "pumped to be a dad."
He shared, "More than anything, I'm just really excited to meet him and am hoping for a healthy baby boy and a healthy Parris in June."
Plus, they've already decided on a name: Grayson! (Grayson Stork will share the same name as Bob Guiney's son.)

Parris commended her husband for being a "calming presence" and feels "very fortunate to be married to a doctor" amid these unsettling times. Due to travel restrictions, she and Travis cancelled their baby shower in Los Angeles and moved it to Zoom instead.
She told the magazine, "We had an L.A. shower planned for March and that was going to be our West Coast friends and I had a Nashville shower planned too. Obviously both of those got canceled. So it was just the two of us. But it was nice to have Travis be a part of it!"
The Storks are more than ready for baby Grayson to arrive and introduce him to all sorts of outdoor activities. Parris described his nursery as "animal-themed" with "a bunch of woodland creatures."

Travis said, "We have a jogger, bike carrier and baby backpack all ready to go as soon as he's old enough. I'm excited for Grayson to be a part of the many adventures to come!"
In February, Travis posted a photo of himself kissing Parris with his hand resting on her baby belly. He jokingly captioned it, "Be careful kids: this can happen in the #fantasysuite 😂👶🏻 #thebachelor"
It's safe to assume that in a few short weeks, baby Grayson will be receiving everyone's First Impression Rose!
Congrats, Travis and Parris!
