Peter Kraus and Fiancée Hana Ostapchuk Expecting First Baby

by

There’s a new addition blooming for Peter Kraus and Hana Ostapchuk. 

The Bachelorette alum and his fiancée are expecting their first baby.

Hana announced she’s expecting a baby in a recent Instagram post. Sharing a photo of her baby bump taken on the beach, she wrote about receiving the ‘surprise of our lives’ just a week after getting engaged. She expressed deep gratitude, calling it ‘the best chapter’ and praising God’s perfect plan. The baby is due in March.

In the next image, Hana, who is 14 weeks pregnant, is with Peter at the beach. They’re posing for a photo, with both of their hands resting on Hana’s baby bump, and jokingly comparing the size of their bellies.

Fans flooded the couple’s comments section with messages of support and congratulations. Several stars from *The Bachelor* franchise, including Becca Tilley (“So happy for you!!!!”) and Ashley Iaconetti (“Awww congratulations!!!!”), also shared their excitement.

Peter and Hana’s baby news comes two months after they announced their engagement.

Let me tell you, finding ‘the one’ is a journey, and for me, it always led back to this person. I recently shared some photos from our incredibly special dockside proposal, and honestly, ‘I love you’ doesn’t even begin to cover it! It was a truly magical night, and we’re overflowing with happiness. I’m so grateful not just for my partner, but for the amazing friends and family who helped make it all happen. It really takes a village, and we feel so lucky to have ours!

Peter shared photos of his proposal – including pictures of him kneeling and his partner showing off the ring – with the excited announcement: “We are ENGAGED!!”

Peter, who was a contestant on Rachel Lindsay’s season of *The Bachelorette*, and Hana are getting married this holiday season. They’re keeping most of the details private, but they’ve chosen a wedding location that holds special meaning for them.

Hana, 34, jokingly told *Us Weekly* earlier this month that the wedding would be held in her mom’s backyard. She explained that she and her partner both wanted a small, intimate wedding.

She explained that getting married young often leads people to dream up an elaborate wedding. But now that they’re both older, they prefer something simpler – a small ceremony around the holidays in her mother’s backyard.

Status: Engaged

Spencer Conley, who made a good impression on Jenn Tran with his friendly personality on *The Bachelorette*, found romance on season 10 of *Bachelor in Paradise*. He shared a post with Jess Edwards (who previously tried to connect with Joey Graziadei on *The Bachelor*) hinting that they were falling for each other – a way of saying they weren’t quite ready to say “I love you” yet. In August 2025, Spencer posted on Instagram Stories that he felt like he’d “already won.”

Jess echoed the sentiment, posting online that she was feeling happy about Spencer. The couple chose their relationship over a $250,000 prize, then got engaged and were surprised with a $190,000 check. Jess shared that everything they’d experienced together had brought them to this special moment. She’s now planning to move to Dallas to be with Spencer.

Status: Dating

Bailey Taylor Brown shared on Instagram in August 2025 that her date with Jeremy Simon was the best first date she’d ever had, after taking him out during the tenth season of *Paradise*. But could it also be their last? Bailey, who originally competed for Grant Ellis’s affection, and Jeremy, who almost won the heart of *The Bachelorette*’s Jenn, managed to overcome their biggest fight yet when Bailey discovered Jeremy had hesitated about sending Susie Evans home.

Despite the drama, their connection continued to grow in Costa Rica. Though they didn’t make it to the end of *Bachelor in Paradise*, they continued dating after the show. In fact, the show revealed they’d already met each other’s families and are planning to live in the same city.

Status: Dating

It looks like things are still going strong between *Paradise* season 10 contestants Andrew Spencer (from Katie Thurston’s season) and Alexe Godin (from Grant’s season) after the show. Just six days after Andrew publicly called Alexe his “love” on Instagram in August 2025, she returned the sentiment, calling him her “darling” in a post of her own.

Even though they chose a relationship over the $250,000 prize on the *BiP* finale, they still each received $125,000.

“This is incredible,” Alexe exclaimed. “I’m leaving with money, but more importantly, with love.” The show then revealed that Alexe plans to move to Chicago with Andrew, bringing their relationship to the Windy City.

Kat and Dale faced a difficult situation during the *Bachelor in Paradise* finale when Sean McLaughlin claimed Kat had been secretly communicating with an ex-boyfriend through letters and a laptop. Kat, a nurse practitioner, denied contacting him while on the show, explaining that she and her ex still had a connection because she didn’t expect to find someone new. Although Kat and Dale didn’t make it to the final rose ceremony, their relationship continued to grow. After the show, they traveled the U.S. together and started making plans for the future, including potentially moving closer to each other.

Dale wrote under Kat’s August 2025 Instagram post that things were challenging at times, but they got through it together, and he wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.

Status: Just friends—for now 

After leaving season 10 of *Bachelor in Paradise*, Gary Levingston and Leslie Fhima (who was a finalist on *Golden Bachelor*) seemed to have a promising future together, even posting about creating new memories. However, Leslie, who was once a muse for Prince, isn’t sure if she wants to pursue a romantic relationship with Gary.

She shared that she and Gary talk constantly. Appearing on Bachelor Happy Hour in August 2025, she described him as a really close friend – someone she can always rely on and call when she’s having a tough time. He helps calm her down, and they consistently support each other.

Even though they live far apart – she’s in Minnesota and he’s in California – she’s still optimistic about their connection. She explained that, for her, the most important part of any relationship, especially a romantic one, is building a strong friendship first. Ultimately, she wants to grow old with someone who is also her best friend.

Status: Just friends

Kim Buike, a frontrunner on *Golden Bachelorette*, connected with Faith Martin, who received the first impression rose on Gerry Turner’s season. Despite being eliminated on season 10 of *Paradise*, the pair continued dating, with Faith sharing a video in August 2025 showing Kim enjoying a date with her in Washington. Ultimately, they decided they were better suited as friends. In a September 2025 Instagram post, Faith explained they spoke several times a week despite living far apart, but never developed romantic feelings. “We had a great connection on the show,” she said, “but we’re not in love and never were.”

Grant initially connected with 25 women on *The Bachelor*, but ultimately chose Juliana Pasquarosa. Unfortunately, the couple broke up less than three months after their proposal was shown on television.

Grant announced on Instagram on June 13th that he and Juliana have decided to break up. He explained that they both tried their best and cared deeply for each other, but after careful consideration, they realized they weren’t compatible for the future.

Joan Vassos, who was a contestant on the first season of *The Golden Bachelor* but left early, found love as *The Golden Bachelorette*. She got engaged to Chock Chapple during the show.

As a huge fan, I was completely moved when Joan said on *The Golden Bachelorette* finale that we really can find love and happiness at any age. Right before Chock proposed in beautiful Bora Bora, she shared how much this moment meant to her. She told him she’d been waiting to say ‘I love you,’ and that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him – waking up next to him every morning and sharing a goodnight kiss each night. It was just so heartwarming to witness!

During the finale of *The Bachelorette* season 21, it seemed like Jenn Tran, who previously appeared on *The Bachelor*, had found love with her final choice, Devin Strader. However, Jenn shared during the *After the Final Rose* episode in September 2024 that Devin became distant as soon as filming ended.

Jenn explained to Jesse Palmer that he had strongly declared his love for her, but the very next day acted as if nothing had happened and claimed he’d never been in love. She said all the promises and affection he’d expressed were suddenly gone.

The situation escalated when Devin posted a 13-minute video on Instagram explaining his perspective. In the video, he took responsibility for his actions and detailed the reasons behind their breakup, which he had initially discussed during a 15-minute phone call.

Jenn said he ended their relationship during a phone call in August, but he insists she pressed him for answers when he was attempting to tell her in person.

He said he’d been wanting to tell her face-to-face, but she pushed him to reveal it sooner than he’d planned. “I felt like she left me no choice,” he explained.

I was so thrilled when Jenn joined *Dancing With the Stars* and started dancing with Sasha Farber – they had amazing chemistry! Even though they were eliminated in October 2024, they kept dancing together for a while, but sadly, they eventually went their separate ways in 2025.

Okay, so, you guys, remember Greg from Katie’s season of *The Bachelorette*? Well, he ended up on *Bachelor in Paradise* with Victoria Fuller last November – like, the season eight finale! And they announced they were *together*! I was SO excited for them. But… ugh. It’s just been revealed that they broke up in April. Seriously, after everything? I’m devastated, honestly. It just… didn’t work out. I’m still processing it!

Before Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo revealed they were dating after the season finale of *Bachelor in Paradise*, Victoria had broken up with her *Bachelor in Paradise* costar, Johnny DePhillipo, ending their engagement.

Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist got engaged in November 2023 at the end of the first season of *The Golden Bachelor* and were married in a televised ceremony in January 2024. They are now divorced.

However, three months after their nuptials, the couple announced that they were breaking up.

Gerry and Theresa have been having open and honest talks about their relationship and living arrangements. During an appearance on *Good Morning America* in April 2024, Gerry announced that they have mutually decided to get a divorce.

They reached a divorce settlement in June 2024, according to court records reviewed by TopMob News.

In April 2025, Gerry shared on the *Bachelor Happy Hour* podcast that he had started dating someone and things were progressing nicely.

Tennis star Joey has found love! After dating 32 women, he proposed to project manager Kelsey Anderson in March 2024. He told Kelsey, his final choice, “I can’t wait another minute to tell you that I love you,” and expressed how her joyful personality made him incredibly happy – a feeling he’d never experienced before. Joey shared that meeting Kelsey showed him just how wonderful his life could be, and he’s excited to build a future with her.

John Henry Spurlock, a contestant from Charity Lawson’s season of *The Bachelor*, and Kat Izzo, who competed for Zach Shallcross’ heart, found a connection on season nine of *Bachelor in Paradise*, though it took a while to develop. John Henry proposed with a Neil Lane diamond, telling Kat she was everything he was looking for. However, shortly after the show’s finale, they announced their breakup. In a joint social media post, they explained that their differing career goals led them to realize they weren’t a long-term match, but they appreciated the support they received from family, friends, and fans.

Eliza Isichei, who previously dated Clayton Echard, is engaged! Despite some initial nervousness, she happily said yes to a proposal from Aaron Bryant on the beach. She was especially touched that Aaron asked her mother for her blessing, admitting she was so emotional she couldn’t control her reaction.

However, the couple revealed in December 2023 that they had decided to end their engagement. They explained that while watching their relationship unfold on TV was difficult, they are parting ways amicably with positivity and respect for each other.

Despite previously expressing disappointment that boyfriend Aven Jones hadn’t proposed in the traditional way-something he had apparently been ready to do on *The Bachelorette* with Rachel Recchia-Kylee Russell accepted his proposal to try and make their relationship work after *Paradise*. Although she had a special engagement dress prepared, she felt it was the right decision, explaining that love requires taking chances. However, just two days after the show aired in December 2023, Kylee announced on social media that the relationship had ended due to Aven’s infidelity. Aven later apologized, admitting he had made serious mistakes and hurt Kylee.

Charity Lawson is thrilled with how her season of *The Bachelorette* ended! She hinted to TopMob News that things were going well, but her August 2023 finale was even more exciting than she let on. Dotun Olubeko, an integrative medicine specialist, proposed to Charity, a child and family therapist, getting down on one knee and declaring their love was “perfect.” He then asked her to marry him and make their relationship a reality.

Although a wedding-possibly in 2025 or 2026-is in the works, Charity will first be hitting the dance floor on *Dancing With the Stars*. Dotun surprised her with the news on *The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose*, excitedly telling her that he knew how much she loved to dance and that he was thrilled she’d be joining the show.

 

Zach Shallcross proposed to Kaity Biggar at the end of season 27 in March 2023, despite some challenges during the Fantasy Suites. He told her, “I am so in love with you. You are my world. The love I feel for you is something I could have never imagined.” By July 2023, the couple, who are based in Texas, had taken their relationship a step further and announced they were now living together.

As a wedding expert, I always say it’s about the *feeling*, not the fuss! That’s exactly what happened with my own wedding on May 23, 2025. We originally envisioned something bigger, but I realized it wasn’t for us. I shared on the *Bachelor Happy Hour* podcast that I took a step back and asked myself if all the extra details were truly necessary. Ultimately, I wanted our wedding to be about celebrating our love and connection, and I felt like I was getting too caught up in the small stuff. It ended up being a sweet, intimate chapel celebration, and it was perfect!

However, one thing especially delighted her. The aunt who signed her up to compete for Zach’s affection discovered the chapel near Austin where they held their wedding. Kaity explained, “It was exactly what we wanted.”

Danielle Maltby and Michael Allio, who seemed like a promising couple after meeting on *Bachelor in Paradise*, have broken up. Despite a strong connection – Danielle had previously experienced a tragic loss with her fiancé, and Michael is a single dad to his son James – they couldn’t make it work. About a year after Danielle moved to Ohio to be with Michael, he confirmed the split on a podcast. He explained that while they loved each other, they weren’t compatible, and he was grieving the loss of both the relationship and the future they had planned.

Brandon Jones proposed to Serene Russell on season seven of *Paradise*, telling her he would love her forever. However, their relationship didn’t last. Just five months after getting engaged on the show, the couple announced their split in a May 2023 Instagram post. They explained that trying to work through their issues had been very difficult with so much public attention, and while they still cared for each other deeply, they were heartbroken and asked for privacy.

Pilot Rachel and her fiancé, Tino Franco, broke up after he kissed someone else while their season of the show was still being broadcast. Tino later admitted on the podcast *The Viall Files* that he deeply regrets his actions. He said he knows it was unfair to Rachel and feels ashamed of what happened, wishing he could go back and do things differently.

Susie Evans and Clayton Echard’s relationship, which began on the 2022 season of *The Bachelor*, had a complicated journey. After Susie initially turned down Clayton’s proposal during the finale, they briefly reconnected, but ultimately broke up six months later. Susie, a videographer based in Los Angeles, explained that the split was necessary for her own well-being. In a November 2022 blog post, she shared that while they shared happy times, she wasn’t living her best life and felt increasingly out of sync with who she wanted to be.

Susie then began dating Justin Glaze, who is known from Bachelor Nation, but they ended their relationship in August 2024.

Michelle, an elementary school teacher from Minnesota, accepted a proposal from Nayte Olukoya, a sales executive from Texas, on a reality TV show and received a $200,000 check towards a future home. However, the couple ultimately broke up after just six months, following the season finale in December 2021. Nayte later admitted on a podcast that they had many arguments and struggled to connect, and that ending things without an in-person conversation was a mistake. Michelle later began dating Jack Leius in 2023, and they got engaged the following year. They married in Minnesota in June 2025.

Viewers really hoped Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian would have a lasting relationship, picturing a happy future together. However, the couple from season seven of *BIP* only lasted a few months. In a joint statement released in January 2022, Maurissa and Riley announced their split, explaining that they both needed to focus on personal growth. Maurissa was previously known for her romance with Peter Weber, while Riley was a contestant on Tayshia Adams’ season.

Status: Split

Oh my gosh, I was SO thrilled when Wells and Brandi got engaged on *Bachelor in Paradise* – they were the first same-sex couple EVER on the show! I seriously thought they’d last, but then… Halloween of 2019. My heart broke when they announced they were splitting up. It was just… devastating.

We’ve always deeply loved and cared for each other, and making the best decision for both of us has always been our priority. With love and sadness, we’ve decided to separate so we can both grow as individuals. This is what’s best for us now and in the future, as we announced in a joint statement on Instagram.

Okay, seriously, Noah and Abigail are EVERYTHING! I was SO stressed when they broke up on *Bachelor in Paradise* – I thought it was over! But thank goodness they realized how perfect they are for each other. They started out in San Diego, which was cute, but now they’ve bought a HOUSE together in Tulsa! Abigail posted on Instagram about it – she’s officially entering her ‘Chip and Joanna Gaines era,’ and I’m living for it! And get this – Noah proposed! A beachfront proposal in San Diego, then a move to his hometown… they’re planning a wedding! I’m seriously obsessed with these two and can’t wait to see what happens next!

Serena Pitt and Joe Amabile, who first connected on reality TV, secretly tied the knot in October 2022! Though they plan to have a formal wedding in September 2023, the couple-Serena was a finalist on Matt James’ season of *The Bachelor*, and Joe, known as the ‘Grocery Store Joe’ from Becca Kufrin’s season-decided to get legally married at City Hall in New York City about a year after getting engaged on *Bachelor in Paradise*. Serena, who now co-hosts the *Bachelor Happy Hour* podcast with Joe, shared the news with a playful message: ‘We are still having a wedding this September but who doesn’t want to get married twice!’

Kenny Braasch proposed to Mari Pepin with a Neil Lane diamond ring during the 2021 finale of *Paradise*, telling her, “I am so in love with you and can’t imagine my life without you.” Mari, who first appeared on *The Bachelor* and charmed Matt, relocated to Chicago to be with Kenny. Before their November 2023 wedding-a 65-person ceremony held in Puerto Rico-the couple cemented their bond with matching tattoos during a May 2023 vacation in the Bahamas. Kenny was previously eliminated by Tayshia Adams during week five of *Paradise*.

Becca Kufrin, who starred on *The Bachelorette*, and Thomas Jacobs, known from Katie Thurston’s season of *The Bachelor*, found love on season seven of *Bachelor in Paradise* in 2021. They briefly split up during filming but got back together afterward. In May 2022, they announced their engagement, revealing that Becca had taken the lead and proposed. She told TopMob News that she hoped their unconventional approach would empower others to break tradition. Thomas returned the gesture by proposing to her in October of the same year. In September 2023, they welcomed their son, Benson, with Becca sharing on Instagram that no words could express how much love they felt for him. Just weeks after Benson’s birth, the couple had a surprise wedding ceremony on October 13th.

Status: Split

In the 2021 finale of *The Bachelorette*, Katie got engaged to Blake Moynes. They first admitted their feelings for each other during a memorable date that included paintball, a relaxing soak in a cowboy tub, and a heartfelt conversation under the stars.

Blake proposed to Katie by getting down on one knee and telling her he wanted to support her dreams and be with her always.

It’s always sad when a relationship doesn’t work out, and in this case, just three months after getting engaged, this couple decided to go their separate ways. They released a really gracious statement, saying they cherished their time together, but realized they were better off pursuing their own paths. It’s tough, but sometimes the most loving thing you can do is admit you’re not the right fit. Now, I’m happy to share that she’s found happiness with comedian Jeff Arcuri – they’re married! It just goes to show you, life takes unexpected turns, and often leads you exactly where you need to be.
