In a lighthearted "Wine or Whine" segment in which Nicole praised or criticized the current Big Brother houseguests, Nicole appeared to be drinking red wine.
"This isn't wine. This is grape juice -- because Victor and I are excited to announce we're having another Big Brother baby! I am pregnant, and we are so excited," Nicole shared, tagging Victor, 34.
Nicole also shared her big news via Instagram by posting a carousel of sweet family photos featuring Victor and their four-year-old son Arrow.
"We are PREGNANT!! Praise Jesus!!" Nicole wrote. "A HUGE thank you to those who have been praying alongside us for this miracle."
Nicole added how she and Victor had been waiting for Baby No. 2 for three years.
"And God said it's time. Our little family is growing!!" she concluded in her post.
In the photos, the family was kissing and hugging each other during a picnic, and in one of the images, Arrow was holding up a shirt that read, "Brother."
Nicole's baby bump was on full display, with Victor cradling his wife's stomach in one of the pictures.
Nicole and Victor got married in March 2021 in Orange Lake, FL, when Nicole was pregnant with their first child. The pair welcomed their son together a few months later in July 2021.
Nicole and Victor initially planned a mid-2020 wedding but had to postpone their nuptials due to COVID-19. They proceeded to plan a December 2020 ceremony in Turks and Caicos, which also had to be rescheduled.

Not only did viewers fail to see sparks between the pair on Season 18, but Nicole was also dating her fellow houseguest Corey Brooks while filming the show. (Nicole and Corey split after the season's finale aired).
But Nicole and Victor took their relationship out of the friend zone in Summer 2017 and began a romance.
After the "Coco Caliente" podcast hosts publicly confirmed their relationship in September 2017, Victor proposed marriage one year later in September 2018 during an episode of Big Brother's 20th season.
Victor subsequently moved to Ubly, MI, to be with Nicole, and after getting engaged, they raced around the world on The Amazing Race's 31st season. The pair finished in fourth place.
Nicole recently told Us Weekly that she and Victor currently live in the same town where she grew up and spent her childhood.

Victor cited good communication as one of the main reasons why his marriage to Nicole is still going strong.
As for whether they'll appear on reality TV again, Nicole and Victor apparently have some plans in mind.
"Survivor!" Victor exclaimed.
"My strategy would still be the same [as Big Brother]. Just try to win as many competitions as I can, but I'd like it for the experience, to try to see if I can do that, live out there and compete and stay mentally strong."

And Nicole said she'd enjoy competing on The Traitors.
"I like games where there's not much physical activity," she noted. "And then I think Dancing with the Stars. That's very physical, so I guess that could be a problem, but it would be so much fun."
