Hakeem Moulton Is Expecting a Baby with Girlfriend Monica and Bachelor Nation Reacts
Baby on board!
Bachelor Nation got to know Hakeem Moulton as he looked for love on Season 21 of “The Bachelorette” and again on Season 10 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Since his time on the show, Hakeem has been keeping fans updated with his life online and took to social media at the end of last year to hard-launch his new relationship with girlfriend Monica Marie.
A few months ago, the Bachelor Nation star opened up about struggles they’ve faced with her family and how they’ve been growing as a couple since on the “Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour” podcast.
And now, the pair have revealed on social media that they are expecting a baby together!
In a new post on Instagram, Monica shared a video of herself and Hakeem hugging as she holds up a positive pregnancy test in the mirror.
The video then shows the two sharing the news with their friends on FaceTime, such as former Bachelor Grant Ellis and fellow Bachelor Nation stars Jonathon Johnson, Austin Ott, and Brandon Jones, who looked completely shocked as Monica displayed a sonogram.
Monica and Hakeem revealed their baby is due in the fall and teased in their caption, “April fools or nah…? Baby coming October 2026 💙🩷”
More Bachelor Nation stars filled the comments with their reactions, such as Alexe Godin, who wrote, “congrats !!! 🥹🤍”
Brandon commented, “Yall gonna be the greatest parents 🥹” and Susie Evans added, “Congratulations!!!❤️” Austin also said, “Ayyyyeee!!! So happy for you both 🫶🏻 y’all are gonna be the best parents,” and Nate Mitchell added, “Yoooooooo 🙌🙌🙌”
How exciting! Congratulations to Hakeem, Monica, and their growing family. We can’t wait to meet their baby in October!
