Clare Crawley Is Expecting First Baby via Surrogate with Husband Ryan Dawkins: ‘Worth the Wait’
Growing family!
Former Bachelorette Clare Crawley got engaged to Ryan Dawkins in October of last year shortly after introducing him to Bachelor Nation a month prior.
Then, in February, the two officially tied the knot and Clare shared gorgeous photos from their wedding day.
Now, the couple just took to Instagram to share that they are expecting their first child together!
Clare shared a video with her husband Ryan hanging clothes on a clothing line and there’s a tiny baby outfit that says “worth the wait” on it at the very end of the video.
Alongside the sweet video, Clare wrote, “Our laundry is about to get a whole lot cuter in 2024!! This TRULY is what my dreams are made of! I can’t tell you how hard it has been to hold this secret in, as I’ve shared the last 10 years of my life with you all!”
The former Bachelorette continued on, saying, “This is one journey though that Ryan and I have been keeping close to our hearts as we navigated the uncertain world of IVF and all that comes with it up until this point. I can’t wait to share it all with you soon what it’s been like for us, and until then, we are so incredibly grateful to @eggwhisperer for making miracles happen!”
Clare concluded, “Baby Dawkins will be arriving via our amazing angel surrogate, in January 2024!!”
Clare’s fellow Bachelor Nation stars quickly filled the comments of her post with love and excitement for the mom-to-be.
Andi Dorfman wrote, “Ommmmmmmy congrats!!!! I’m so unbelievably happy for you! The fairytale has officially come true!”
Ali Fedotowsky Manno added, “Sooooo very happy for you!!! This video made me cry!!!!”
Fellow expectant mama Lesley Murphy said, “This is incredible!!! I’m so happy for your growing fam, Clare!”
And Victoria Fuller wrote, “Congratulations you two!!!”
We couldn’t be happier for Clare and Ryan, and we can’t wait to meet baby Dawkins early next year!
