In the video Vanessa uploaded, her son Winston shuts his eyes, waiting for Josh to reveal a cupcake behind his back.

Josh then revealed a Mickey Mouse doll as well as a cupcake with blue frosting, announcing that Vanessa is pregnant with a baby boy.

Vanessa appeared excited in the clip and captioned it, "Thank heaven for little boys! The greatest gift we could give our boys is each other. There's nothing quite like sibling love!"

Vanessa went on to share a little backstory.

"Josh knew the gender for WEEKS and was convinced he'd accidentally let it slip a few times," The Bachelor alum explained.

"Then one time, I actually heard him say 'she,' I thought the secret was out! I even bought a pink dress and started filling my online carts with pink outfits."

Vanessa therefore admitted that she initially thought the blue cupcake Josh had presented her at the gender reveal was a prank.

"With almost everyone convinced it was a girl, and Josh being the prankster he is, I genuinely thought he was joking during the reveal! HAHA!" Vanessa revealed.

"Our sweet boy, you are already so deeply loved! We dreamed of you, prayed for you, and can't wait to hold you in our arms!!"

In the comments, Vanessa laughed about how her husband had been "confusing" her for weeks.

Many members of Bachelor Nation congratulated Vanessa and Josh on their big news -- including Kendall Long, Sydney Lotuaco, Caila Quinn, and Alexe Godin.

Vanessa announced in July that she's expecting her second child, a "double rainbow" baby, with Josh.

"Winston's been collecting some of his toys to give to the baby," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "We're beyond excited to meet our little miracle and finally share the news!"

Vanessa shared her big news just over a year after she revealed she had suffered two miscarriages in 12 months.

Vanessa wrote via Instagram in June 2025, "This is my second miscarriage. Saying that out loud still feels surreal. Especially finding out during my ultrasound. Again. It adds another layer to the grief, one that's heavier, more complicated, and harder to put into words."

Vanessa shared how Winston's room was the only place in her home that brought her peace at the time.

"I'm so incredibly grateful for him. My healthy, joyful little boy. And at the same time, my heart aches for the baby I never got to meet," Vanessa shared.

She added, "I'm left with the silence of what could have been. Again. My mind feels foggy and full all at once. I'm usually good at making space for my feelings, but right now I just want to stay busy... to keep from sitting too long with this heaviness."

In October 2025, Vanessa elaborated on her miscarriages, calling them "two back to back silent" ones.

Vanessa announced in September 2024 that she had experienced her first miscarriage in response to numerous messages asking when she was planning to have a second child.

Vanessa publicly shared the news about three months after she experienced the pregnancy loss.

"It was a long few months of allowing my body to let go... ultrasounds, blood tests, doctor appointments and many conversations with family members, friends and sometimes strangers," Vanessa wrote, in part, at the time.

"It was a hard yet bonding process that made me feel less alone and ultimately helped me heal."

Vanessa and Josh welcomed Winston in September 2022, just one day before her 35th birthday.

The Canadian teacher underwent a C-section in a Montreal hospital.

Vanessa and Joshua got married in August 2021 in their hometown of Montreal.

Josh proposed marriage to Vanessa and the pair got engaged in Canada one year prior, after dating for a year-and-a-half.

The couple's romance initially sparked when Josh had slid into Vanessa's DMs on social media, and then the pair reportedly talked on the phone for several weeks while she was out of town.

Vanessa and Josh had their first date in New York City, with Vanessa telling the magazine, "We booked flights without ever having met!"

Vanessa went public with her relationship with Josh in January 2019 after a fling with a different guy in Spring 2018 didn't work out.

Josh said he knew Vanessa was The One after he realized she makes amazing pasta sauce and is extremely family oriented.

On Nick's The Bachelor season, Vanessa and Nick had gotten engaged during the show's March 2017 finale, but the couple broke up less than six months later.

Vanessa and Nick's relationship kicked off with more challenges than the average The Bachelor couple to come out of the show given Vanessa was living in Canada and Nick wanted to stay in the United States.

Shortly after getting engaged, Nick also competed on Dancing with the Stars, which soaked up a lot of his free time.

"After my experience on the show, everything happens for a reason," Vanessa noted after getting engaged to Josh.

Nick is now married to surgical technician Natalie Joy, and the couple has three children together.
