Francesca Farago & Jesse Sullivan Are Expecting Twins?! Couple Admits a Baby Bombshell (Exclusive)
Francesca Farago is over the moon.
The Too Hot to Handle alum—who is expecting twins with fiancé Jesse Sullivan—recently shared a glimpse into how she celebrated her impending motherhood with a picturesque baby moon earlier this fall.
Francesca, 31, gave her followers an inside look at her luxurious getaway with a few photos of herself on the trip, including one of her posing in a black bikini next to a steaming outdoor pool.
"so many updates coming so soon!" she captioned the Nov. 5 Instagram post. "Can't wait to show you guys the new house & nursery."
The reality star, who announced her pregnancy in April, reshared the photo to her Instagram Stories and wrote, "Baby moon bliss."
Among the vacation pics, she also shared photos of her babies' nursery, a mirror selfie showing off her growing baby bump and multiple photos of her cats and dog.
Francesca first detailed her baby moon in a Sept. 17 TikTok video in which she shared that her trip with Jesse, 35, to "the mountains" came "with about two months left in the pregnancy."
The Netflix alum showed off the Airbnb she and Jesse—who has a 15-year-old named Arlo from a previous relationship—stayed in for a few days, which was so stunning that her partner actually wanted to stay indefinitely.
"Jesse has been trying to convince me to move here since we've gotten here," Francesca said in the video. "We really wanted, like, fall, mountain, cool vibes for our baby moon."
And while she never shared exactly where they had traveled to, she did say that they "had to stay close to L.A., obviously, because of the twins."

After leaving the home they stayed at, the couple—who got engaged in May 2023—checked into a hotel where they were preparing to enjoy a spa day together.
Francesca's new pics from her baby moon came a little over a week after she shared that she'd been hospitalized—and that her little ones had nearly arrived.

"Went in for our regular weekly ultrasound & ended up spending the last few days in the hospital mentally preparing for an emergency c section,” Francesca wrote in an Oct. 27 Instagram post. “Twins almost made a surprise appearance, all while we were organizing a huge move (finally) into the house I’ve been renovating for two years!”
She went on to share that she'd returned home to rest for the final stretch of her pregnancy.
"But we’re back home now babies are doing good,” she continued. “I’m doing great. Hopefully can keep them cooking for 10 more days (36 weeks) & moving into the new house next week now instead!"

June 2021: First Meeting
Though Francesca Farago tried her luck with love on a few reality dating shows, including Too Hot to Handle, she met her perfect match in Jesse Sullivan while hosting an event online.
“TikTok hired me to host an event for Pride Month,” Francesca told Elite Daily in 2023. “It was over Zoom. It was a TikTok live event with Willow Smith and the app’s LGBTQ+ Trailblazers. I interviewed three people and Jesse was one of them. We met on Zoom and just fell in love very quickly.”

And though her time on season one of Netflix’s Perfect Match (which aired in 2023) didn’t work out, Francesca knew that fate had bigger plans in store.
In fact, as the reality star shared in a TikTok, “Literally the minute I left that villa, I texted Jesse, and I was like, 'Hey, are you still single? I'm traumatized and do you want to hang out?'"
And the rest is history. Since then, the pair have shared insight into their romance on social media. “We’re just so in love, and I feel that’s obvious with what we post,” she told Elite Daily. “Some couples share a filtered version of the happy times, but they don’t post anything negative. We actually don’t have any negative times. It’s all positive.”
