Serene Russell & Brendan Morais Grow Their Family: ‘Meet Sunny’
So exciting!
Fans got to know Serene Russell and Brendan Morais on Bachelor Nation shows throughout the years.
Serene first appeared on Season 26 of “The Bachelor” and Brendan was on Season 16 of “The Bachelorette.” Then, Serene and Brendan both famously found love on the beaches of “Bachelor in Paradise” on Seasons 8 and 7, respectively.
While their on-screen relationships didn’t end up working out, the two hard launched their off-screen relationship last year.
Serene and Brendan recently celebrated their one-year anniversary, and this week, took to social media to reveal that they have grown their family.
In a new video on Instagram, Serene documented their journey adopting a new orange cat named Sunny Bean.
Brendan is seen saying, “I think if you have over seven cats, you’re a crazy person. Four to seven cats is fine, in my opinion.”
The video then shows the couple adopting their sweet kitten and what their lives have looked like with another cat in the house.
Serene titled the video “meet Sunny” and revealed, “Would y’all believe me if I told you this was Brendan’s idea. Thanks @allpawsrescueok for our Sunny Bean 🥹🧡.”
Brendan commented on the announcement, “I’m officially a cat guy 🫘.” Followers filled the comments with their love for the new kitten.
One person wrote, “Omg what a precious little baby!!!! Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️,” and another expressed, “Yay for rescuing!🧡”
One fan added, “Yessssss welcome to the orange cat fam ❤️,” and another shared their love for dubbing the cat Sunny, adding, “Best name ever 🥹❤️😌."
So sweet!
We are so happy for Brendan and Serene on the newest addition to their family. We can’t wait to see more of Sunny!
