'Our biggest dream came true': Wisconsin native, 'Bachelor' franchise veteran Nick Viall and fiancé expecting first child together

A "Bachelor" baby is on the way.

Waukesha native and "Bachelor" franchise veteran Nick Viall and his fiancé, Natalie Joy, are expecting their first child together, the couple announced on Instagram Tuesday.

They shared two stunning black-and-white photos featuring Joy, her baby bump and Viall, with a picturesque mountain scape as the backdrop. Joy donned a timeless dress with long draped sleeves and Viall sported a suit. They also included their child's ultrasound image.

"Our biggest dream came true," Joy said in the post with a heart emoji.

And, this isn't the only dream of Viall's that's come true lately.

He always dreamt — both figuratively and literally — of returning to his late grandfather's Wisconsin lake house, according to videos he shared on social media.

After just missing out on the property a couple years ago, Viall was recently able to buy it. And, he gave it to his mom who grew up there.

In a video Viall shared in July about the lake house saga, he included a clip of Joy in a boat and said that this will be the place where they'll make new memories with their children.

"What a JOURNEY this has been!! we will create the most beautiful memories here and our children will get to grow up enjoying the same slice of heaven their dad grew up enjoying," Joy commented on Viall's post.

Looks like that'll be happening sooner than later.

Viall and Joy announced their engagement on social media in January. According to People, the two started dating in 2020.

Viall, a graduate of Waukesha North High School and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, appeared on Andi Dorfman and Kaitlyn Bristowe's seasons of "The Bachelorette." In both, he was sent home as the runner-up during the series finale.

Viall would later be on the ABC spin-off "Bachelor in Paradise" and become "The Bachelor."

Viall is the host of the popular podcast "The Viall Files" and author of the book "Don't Text Your Ex Happy Birthday: And Other Advice on Love, Sex, and Dating."

It was recently revealed that Viall will be one of 14 celebrities on FOX's "Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test" Season 2.

"This time around, the recruits will be faced with the harsh reality of winter warfare training on the mountains of New Zealand where the terrain and freezing temperatures are brutal and the tasks will feel like torture. They will face the ice breaker drill where they will be submerged in a frozen lake to find their body temperature plummeting to near hypothermic levels. They will attempt a treacherous ravine crossing atop a 4700 ft snowcapped mountain peak as well as an emergency escape out of a helicopter submerged deep in icy waters."

Viall will be joined by other Reality TV stars, including Tyler Cameron, who was runner-up on Hannah Brown's season of "The Bachelorette"; infamous "Vanderpump Rules" cast member Tom Sandoval, who caused an uproar earlier this year after cheating on his longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with her close friend Raquel Leviss; as well as athletes; actors; and other media personalities.

The season premieres Sept. 25.
