On Instagram, Ben shared a photo of himself looking down at his wife in a hospital bed while she cradled their little one. He had a look of awe on his face.
“Update and more to come but baby girl Higgins has entered the world. She is healthy. @jessclarke_ is doing so well. I don’t yet have words for what just happened but the update right now is we have a daughter and Jess is recovering so well. The nurses and doctors who cared for us should be lifted high. Also I am biased but God spent a little more time on our baby girl because she’s real beautiful! This beauty will be revealed soon but first she needs a bath,” Ben wrote in the accompanying caption.
The couple revealed that they were expecting in August 2024.
Ben and Jessica met outside of the Bachelor franchise in 2018, got engaged in 2020 and exchanged vows in late 2021.
He previously went viral for opening up about their love life.
Congratulations to the happy family! We wish them well at this very exciting time.
