LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Reality star Giannina Gibelli is all set to welcome her first baby with her partner Blake Horstmann.
The 30-year-old said, "We were on our way back home from the movies and I felt a fluttering in my lower stomach which I thought was weird, so we got a test and made it home, opened a bottle of wine — because obviously, it’s going to be negative this was just a precaution — and after dinner, we found out our entire world had changed.”
Giannina Gibelli was surprised to know she's pregnant
Gibelli and her partner were surprised to know about the new development. "We’re so excited to meet our spring baby,!" she said.
The couple told People, “No one was expecting it, but their reactions have been spectacular and we’re so grateful for the love and support. We shared the news with Blake’s family in Colorado and then Giannina’s family in Florida."
"Needless to say, there was a lot of screaming, happy tears, and jumping around. I think our friends' jaws are still on the ground," Gibelli laughs, adding "Our baby is so loved already."
The ‘Love is Blind’ star added, "Zero to no sickness, I’ve been able to travel and all I want to eat is fruit."
"I genuinely love being pregnant. It’s made me step into my femininity and I never thought I would enjoy it this much," she continued.
Giannina Gibelli has short listed a few names already
Gibelli had doubts and ‘struggled’ with the new change in her life. "It has kept me grounded and feeling empowered. The love for this baby is immense already and I know in my heart that this was meant to be for me," she said.
The pair is still unsure about the gender of their expected baby. "We have a hunch! And we started a list of baby names after the first couple of months we met," Gibelli spilled.
"I think we low-key manifested this, with that list," she continued.
Giannina futher said, "We'd already hear, 'You're going to be such a good mom and dad,' I think because we both give off nurturing vibes."
"Yet, there’s obviously still that feeling of 'Am I going to do it right?' No one gives you a manual and there is so much we don’t know, but we’re excited to do this together as a team," she added.
"We communicate about everything and trust and believe in each other," concluded Gibelli.
