Television personalities Giannina Gibelli and Blake Horstmann are delighted to share the news that they are expecting their second child. The couple, who celebrated their wedding in June, are already parents to their two-year-old son, Heath, and are set to welcome their new addition in March 2024.

Gibelli, known for her role on “Love Is Blind”, and Horstmann, a former contestant on “The Bachelorette”, revealed this exciting news exclusively to PEOPLE magazine. The couple has been vocal about their desire to expand their family, and Gibelli expressed that their pregnancy feels like a dream fulfilled.
In an interview, Gibelli discussed how their little one was conceived. “We were aiming to have a honeymoon baby, but I ended up taking an at-home pregnancy test too early, which showed negative,” she said. However, she felt something was different the following day, prompting her to take another test. “I was shocked when I saw two little pink lines pop up,” she continued, describing the rush of emotions that this realisation brought her.
Initially, Gibelli kept the news a secret for a few days to fully absorb the joy and formulate a plan for sharing it with Horstmann. However, she could not resist telling Heath almost immediately, marking a significant moment in their growing family’s journey.
As they reached out to friends and relatives, Gibelli found the reactions overwhelmingly positive. Though family members were somewhat surprised, they were also thrilled to hear about the expansion of the family unit. “It just feels nice to finally be able to talk about it since it’s been consuming my thoughts,” she remarked.
The early stages of this pregnancy have presented some similarities and differences from her first. While Gibelli noted, “I’m definitely feeling lethargic like the last time and experiencing more nausea,” she continues to have a penchant for fruit and smoothies—a desire reminiscent of her first pregnancy.
Though the couple knows the sex of their upcoming child, Gibelli has decided to keep that information private for the moment. “We’re not one of those couples that can go through an entire pregnancy guessing,” she joked, adding that planning outfits is part of her excitement.
Heath’s response to the impending arrival has been heartwarming; Gibelli revealed that he has expressed interest in becoming a big brother. “He hugs and kisses the belly and says, ‘Daddy, look, baby!’ We just know he’s going to be the best big brother imaginable,” she beamed.
As they prepare to transition from a family of three to four, Gibelli conveyed her enthusiasm for the memories yet to be made. “We’re thrilled,” she said, highlighting their shared joy and anticipation. “It’s everything we’ve always wanted; having our honeymoon baby just solidifies that timing is perfect in its own way.”
The couple have already begun visualising what their future family life will look like, imagining the warmth of Christmases and holiday celebrations together. “Watching our family grow is the purpose of life,” Gibelli reflected. The anticipation of new experiences and memories fills them both with joy and excitement as they prepare to embark on this new chapter together.
