Francesca Farago and her fiancé Jesse Sullivan are preparing to become parents together after announcing their recent rounds of IVF have been successful.
The 30-year-old, who shot to fame on Netflix dating series Too Hot to Handle, announced in a shared Instagram post with TikTok star Jesse: “We wanted to take this special day to celebrate this amazing milestone with all of you. We’ve brought you with us through the loss, so we couldn’t wait to bring you along for the win.”
Francesca and Jesse have been documenting their IVF journey for the past few months and made sure to capture the moment they found out the process had been successful.
They added: “I am still pretty newly pregnant, and there’s so much more to come, but we are so excited to be growing our family with Arlo as the coolest older sibling! AHH IM PREGNANT!”
The little one will be Jesse’s second child as he has a 15-year-old child named Arlo from a previous relationship.
Jesse came out as transgender in 2019 and has amassed over two million followers on TikTok documenting their life as a parent and a trans advocate.
After revealing their pregnancy news on social media they followed up their post with a video montage of their IVF journey including all the lows as well as the highs.

They said: “It took me about a week to really know that it was true and get the positive blood test back from our doctor. I was just in shock. We were not expecting that. We thought it was going to be negative for sure, and then when we saw positive that early, we got a really early positive, we were like 'No.'"
The couple might also be expecting twins, after potentially having two of the eggs take successfully.
They told E!: "It might be two babies. We're not sure yet."
