Clare Crawley is expecting her first child.

Former “Bachelorette” star Clare Crawley and her husband Ryan Dawkins are expecting their first child together.

“Our laundry is about to get a whole lot cuter in 2024!!” Crawley captioned a video she shared on Instagram on July 12, 2023.

“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! 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,” she continued.

Crawley first appeared on Juan Pablo Galavis’ season of “The Bachelor,” but was sent home at the final rose ceremony. She went on to appear on two seasons of “Bachelor in Paradise” as well as “The Bachelor Winter Games,” the last of which she ended up getting engaged to Benoit Beauséjour-Savard. The two didn’t work out, however, and Crawley was back to finding love on reality television with a gig as the star of “The Bachelorette” in season 16. She ended her season early after finding love with Dale Moss. After the two split, Crawley decided to give reality Dating shows a break.
