Ben Higgins & Kendall Long Are Both Expecting Baby #2 — See Their Sweet Announcements!
Bachelor Nation babies on board!
As Bachelor Nation fans know, former Bachelor Ben Higgins married the love of his life, Jess Clarke Higgins, in November 2021.
The two welcomed their daughter Winona (Winnie for short) last year in February 2025.
Over the weekend, the couple announced that they’re expecting their second baby girl, due “this holiday season”!
Ben and Jess posted sweet photos of their family to share the exciting news, and the former Bachelor expressed, “The world is blessed because @jessclarke_ is becoming a mother of two girls and Winona is so excited about becoming a big sister!”
He continued, sharing, “Waylon still carries the pressure of carrying on the Higgins name and I personally am overwhelmed with joy to be experiencing it all! Higgins girl number 2 coming towards end of year.”
Congratulations!
Fellow Bachelor Nation star Kendall Long also took to social media over the weekend with exciting family news.
Kendall and her partner Mitchell Sagely got married in 2022 and welcomed their first child together, daughter Elise, earlier last year.
Now, the two are also expecting their second baby, due to arrive in December!
Kendall took to her Instagram page to share the wonderful news and posted a video of their family at a lake while she revealed, “I’m pregnant! Coming December 2026.”
She then captioned her announcement, “We’ve been keeping a little secret… but I can’t hold it in any longer! 🤭💕So over the moon that we are becoming parents of 2 and that Elise is going to be a big sissy!!! 🤍”
Fellow Bachelor Nation stars filled both Ben’s and Kendall’s posts with their love and congratulations for the soon-to-be parents of two.
We are sending huge congratulations, and we couldn’t be more excited for their growing families. We can’t wait to meet Ben’s and Kendall’s new bundles of joy later this year!
