Peter Kraus Recalls His Candid First Reaction to Finding Out He’s Going to Be a Dad
Looking back.
Bachelor Nation fans got to know and love Peter Kraus on Season 13 of “The Bachelorette.”
Since his time on the show, Peter found love off-screen with TV host Hana Ostapchuk and the two officially announced their engagement over the summer after one year of dating.
And a few months ago, the happy couple shared that they are also expecting their first child together — a baby girl.
And last month, Peter and Hana officially tied the knot in a stunning outdoor wedding in Jupiter, Florida.
Now, the Bachelor Nation star is opening up on the “Almost Famous Podcast” and recalling his candid first reaction to finding out he was going to be a dad.
During the interview, Peter was asked what his initial emotion was when he found out Hana was pregnant, and he revealed that it differed from hers.
“Oh, my God, we had complete opposite reactions,” he said. “I had just laid down for a nap and she’s like, ‘I’m going to take a pregnancy test.’ And I’m like, ‘Please don’t do it now, I’d really like to take a nap. I haven’t slept in a few days.’ And she was like, ‘No, now is the time.’ And so when she did and the first one was positive, the initial reaction was like, ‘All right just relax, take another one.’ And then it was take another one, another one, and I just started laughing. I couldn’t help but laugh at the whole situation… And she immediately started crying.”
Hana then chimed in and revealed that she almost didn’t believe the results at first.
She admitted, “I was like, ‘This is backwards, this is not how it’s supposed to be!’ I was having a mental breakdown. Funny enough, my best friend who has kids had gotten me the pregnancy tests sort of as a joke when I moved in with Peter. So I was like, ‘These are rigged!’ So I made Peter pee on a stick and we learned it was not rigged.”
Laughing, Peter joked, “Hey we had to have a control, and I was the control… Needless to say, I’m not pregnant.”
We couldn’t be happier for Peter, Hana, and their growing family. We can’t wait to meet their baby girl soon!
