The news was announced by the couple itself who took to social media to share the love-filled pic that shows the 32-year-old placing his hand lovingly on the belly of his wife.

"It's happening! I'm going to be a dad," wrote the reality TV personality to caption the pic.

The couple has yet not revealed the sex of the child and reportedly wants to keep the pregnancy "quiet" and "calm."

"Catherine is just out of her first trimester," a source told E! News before adding that the couple does not want to make an exhibit of the pregnancy.

Giudici is said to be doing fine and has not suffered any pregnancy complication so far. Both Lowe and his wife are quite excited to become parents for the first time.

Lowe and Giudici met on the sets of "The Bachelor" season 17 in 2013 and tied the knot in a televised ceremony in January 2014 in Santa Barbara, marking the franchise's first live TV wedding.

The whole wedding was absolutely breathtaking and magical, with the lush botanical gardens accessorized with flowers by Mark's Garden, ivory adobe and Spanish Colonial archways and glamorous details and surprises at every turn.

The couple also made news for abstaining from sex until their wedding night, Daily Mail reported.

Earlier this year, the 29-year-old came under fire for posting a pic of herself in baby bump as an April Fool's Day joke after which she was slammed for being insensitive to women with fertility issues.
