Aurora Culpo is ending the year with a bang—and a tiny bump.
The Barely Filtered podcast host announced that she’s pregnant with her third baby, her first with fiancé Zac.
In her Dec. 31 Instagram post, Aurora, 36, shared a sweet photo of her and Zac, 40, kissing on the beach as he rubbed her stomach. She also posted a closeup shot of her sonogram and a video of her little one’s heartbeat, captioning the memories, “We’re so excited to meet you.”
True to the special milestone, the couple’s friends and loved ones sent them their well wishes in the comments section. Aurora’s younger sister Olivia Culpo—who welcomed her first baby, 5-month-old daughter Colette, with husband Christian McCaffrey in July—celebrated her future family member, writing, “I’m soooooo excited!!!”
Meanwhile, Hilaria Baldwin praised the news with three heart emojis.
Zac also echoed the excitement in his Instagram Stories, where he embraced his new role in their relationship.
“I’m gonna be a dad!” he wrote alongside their beach photoshoot. “Best year ever!”
This announcement comes two months after the duo, who hard launched their romance earlier this year, got engaged in Paris. Indeed, Zac offered an intimate look into the October proposal, which saw him gifting Aurora—already mom to kids Remi, 7, and Solei, 5, with ex-husband Michael Bortone—a diamond ring in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Despite her shocked reaction, it seems the influencer was prepared for Zac’s romantic surprise. In fact, she hinted that they frequently talked “about getting married” leading up to their trip to the city of love.
“I know a lot of people are probably like, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. You guys have not even been dating for a year,’” she explained on her Barely Filtered podcast that month. “That’s true, but we do talk a lot about getting married. It’s definitely gonna happen.”
And as Aurora continues to embrace this new chapter in her romance, she’s been open about her love life being in the spotlight.
“More often than not, dating publicly, it’s the publicity of it that hurts more than the relationship,” she told E! News last October. “‘No one’s perfect and there’s always going to be more people that are not meant to be your forever person than people that are, that's the process and you just can't take it to heart.”
Aurora and Zac may be celebrating two major milestones this year, but they’re not the only celebrity couple who got engaged in 2025, keep reading for every celebrity engagement this year…
