Hannah Ann Sluss Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby With Jake Funk
Hannah Ann Sluss and Jake Funk will soon have a new rose in their life.
Indeed, the Bachelor alum shared that she and the NFL star—who tied the knot last June—are expecting their first baby together.
"We found out we were expecting during a trip to Dubai," Hannah Ann told People in an interview published June 22. "It was such an unexpected and joyful surprise! A moment we'll always treasure.”
And while the 29-year-old emphasized that she has been “feeling great” during her second trimester, her pregnancy wasn’t always the most enjoyable experience.
"The first trimester was all about rest and sticking to the basics,” she explained. "I had a lot of food aversions, and almost everything tasted off except fruit—which I've always loved."
As for what the couple plans to name their new addition? Well, they’ve started brainstorming but haven’t quite decided yet.
"We've started talking names and love the idea of choosing one that's meaningful and tied to family in some way," the reality star shared. "Becoming parents is the greatest gift, and we're just in awe of God's goodness in this season."
The couple’s big announcement comes one year after Hannah Ann and Jake—who debuted their relationship ahead of the 2022 Super Bowl after Jake slid into her TikTok DMs—tied the knot during an intimate ceremony in Italy.
"We decided it would just be us and to really focus on the commitment and significance of marriage," Hannah Ann told People the day after their ceremony. "It's easy to get caught up in all the glitz and glam."
“It's exactly what I wanted,” she added. “I felt it was simple enough, yet elegant and timeless."
After all, even back in 2022, Hannah Ann made it clear that she and Jake, 27, shared a “common vision” for their future.
"I don't want to change anything about him,” she told E! News at the time. “I mean, he's my best friend and we just truly enjoy being around each other."

During the season 21 finale of The Bachelorette, it looked like The Bachelor alum Jenn Tran was finally getting her happy ending with her final pick Devin Strader. But Jenn revealed on After the Final Rose back in September 2024 that Devin gave her the cold shoulder as soon as the cameras stopped rolling.
"He was making bold proclamations of love and then suddenly the next day he was like, nothing and he denied ever being in love," Jenn told host Jesse Palmer during the Sept. 3 episode. "All the promises he had made to me, all of the love that he had wanted to give to me wasn't there anymore."
Drama continued to play out when Devin shared a 13-minute video recounting his side of the story to Instagram, where in addition to taking "accountability” he shared insight into why he ended the relationship in a 15-minute phone call.
While Jenn alleged he dumped her during the call in August, he claimed that Jenn demanded to know what was wrong as he tried to find a way to break the news in person.
"I didn't really know what else to do," he explained, noting he had been waiting to tell her in person. "She kind of forced my hand."
After that, Jenn waltzed over to Dancing With the Stars and into the heart of her partner Sasha Farber. The duo continued to dance together even after their October 2024 elimination, but split in 2025.

"I'm going to try something a little different," he said while offering up an Ascher cut Neil Lane diamond. "I'm following my heart today. My heart's telling me that you are amazing, you are everything that I'm looking for."
But days after the finale aired, the duo revealed they no longer saw forever in each other's eyes.

"All right, baby," Dotun told Charity on The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose. "So I know you like to cut up, you like to dance and you like to get down.

But a year after Maltby relocated from Nashville to be with Allio in Ohio, he confirmed they'd split. "We both threw a lot into this relationship and it's really awful when it doesn't work out," Allio said on a September 2023 episode of Jason Tartick's Trading Secrets podcast. "When things don't work out, when you realize that love is there, but you're not necessarily compatible, you mourn the loss, not of just that person and that friend in your life, but also the future that you had envisioned."

Alas, their journey was cut short. Five months after their engagement aired, Brandon (a runner-up on Michelle Young's season) and Serene (who romanced Clayton Echard) announced they had split in a joint May 2023 statement. "We have tried to work privately on our relationship which has been incredibly challenging in the public eye," they wrote on Instagram.

It's something I'm ashamed of and certainly wish I could have done it differently like a million times over."

But the L.A.-based videographer insists their breakup was for the right reasons. "The people around me could see that my sparkle had dulled and I was far from thriving," she wrote in a November 2022 post for her blog "Susie Was Like." She acknowledged they "had joyous moments often, but deep down I was struggling and felt misaligned with the best version of me."

But, ultimately, the pair just didn't have the right foundation, announcing their breakup six months after their season's finale aired in December 2021.
Though he said on The Viall Files, "There was lots of ups and downs, lots of arguments, lots of fights and just not really clicking, not really seeing eye-to-eye," Nayte acknowledged that not having that final split conversation in person was "a dick move."

"About to enter our Chip and Joanna Gaines era because your girl bought her very first house!!!" Abigail wrote on Instagram in July 2023. "Excited to start our next chapter and for all the memories we'll create here!!" Starting with a few wedding plans. Ahead of their move, Noah proposed at a beachfront San Diego home in August 2023.

So the Maryland beauty queen, who initially charmed Bachelor Matt, moved to Kenny's native Chicago and set about planning their forever.

In the years since Matt and graphic designer Rachael Kirkconnell left his 2021 season together (then briefly split and eventually reunited), they've faced many a breakup rumor.
"I think everybody needs to take a break from social media," the former Bachelor exclusively told E! News at a July 18 Baskin-Robbins event. "Our lives are lived so much in front of our phones that when anybody steps out of being on their phone 24/7, people think it's the end of the world."
In fact, Matt said marriage remains the end-game for the pair."I think the good thing about our relationship is we go at our own pace," the First Impressions: Off Screen Conversations With a Bachelor on Race, Family, and Forgiveness author told E! News in May 2022. "And you've seen with other couples—they force the engagement and they're not together anymore. So, I think what we got is a working recipe and we're gonna get there."
But less than three years later, Matt announced he and Rachael split."Father God, give Rachael and I strength to mend our broken hearts," the reality star wrote on Instagram Jan. 16, 2025 alongside a throwback photo of them on The Bachelor. "Give us a peace about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly understanding. Shower our friends and family with kindness and love to comfort us.

After his brief engagement to winner Hannah Ann Sluss and then subsequent split from runner-up Madison Prewett, fans were hopeful that the third time would be the charm for Peter. Alas, his romance with The Bachelor season 24 standout Kelley Flanagan wasn't meant to be, the pilot sharing on New Year's Eve 2020 that their nine-month relationship was grounded.
