Nikki Gogan and her architect fiancé Bill Coe have welcomed a baby boy.

The former Bachelor star shared the news to Instagram on Monday evening alongside black-and-white footage of Bill bonding with their bundle of joy.

The 39-year-old captioned the footage with some loving words, revealing the little man's name as Bobby Brian. 

'Our beautiful baby boy arrived June 2026 and we've been soaking up every precious moment with him since,' she wrote. 

'We are so proud to be your Mum and Dad, our sweet Bobby boy.' 

The post was soon inundated with congratulatory messages from former Bachelor stars Alex Nation and Irena Gilbert.

Nikki announced her pregnancy in February, alongside several photos of the couple cradling her baby bump. 

'Half way to meeting our sweet little love. Our winter baby,' Nikki captioned the sweet photo gallery, sending her followers into meltdown. 

Several former Bachelor stars left their well wishes, including Kiki Morris, who wrote: 'Awwwww congrats', and Tiffany Scanlon, who added: 'Awwww yay! So happy for you! Motherhood is the most life changing but amazing chapter. Msg me if you have any questions.'  

Nikki has been dating Bill for around eight years, going 'Instagram official' in June 2018 with a romantic post on her 31st birthday. 

'Believe me when I say that I am the luckiest girl in the entire world,' she captioned a loved-up photo of the couple.

'I am surrounded and loved by the most incredible people and I am so so grateful. This has been the best birthday ever and this man is a major part of that.'

Speaking to NW at the time, Nikki said that Bill - who is a director at Slavin Architects - was everything she ever wanted in a man.

'He's my dream guy,' she said, 'I'm very happy.'

'Our beautiful baby boy arrived June 2026 and we've been soaking up every precious moment with him since,' she wrote

Nikki rose to fame on Richie Strahan's season of The Bachelor in 2016

Richie has vanished from the spotlight, last posting to Instagram in July 2024

The couple announced their engagement via Instagram in July 2022, with Nikki sharing a photo of herself cuddled up to Bill with a diamond ring on her finger. 

The blonde famously placed runner-up on her season of The Bachelor behind Alex Nation, who announced her split from Richie just one year later. 

The former couple returned to screens in 2019 for a fiery on-camera reunion on Bachelor In Paradise, during which Alex alluded to the couple agreeing to have an abortion during their relationship. 

Nikki meanwhile turned down an offer to appear on Bachelor in Paradise, saying she preferred to stay out of the spotlight.

Richie has since vanished from the spotlight himself, having last posted to Instagram in July 2024.
