Evan Bass and Carly Waddell Reveal Sex of Their Baby

Evan Bass and Carly Waddell met while participating on Bachelor in Paradise last summer, and their relationship is one of few Bachelor Nation romances that has survived the test of time. 

Seriously, it’s great that there is news of a success story after all of the negative press the series has received of late what with the whole Corinne Olympios and Demario Jackson getting hot and heavy in the swimming pool. 

We can’t forget that production was shut down on the back of the wild sex romp. 

Evan and Carly returned to paradise earlier this year to get married, and their wedding was even televised. With marriage out of the way, the next big question was when to expect a child. 

Thankfully, they are officially with child and have hit up Instagram to reveal the gender of their little bundle of joy. 

Waddell was overjoyed with the gender, saying: “This is our professional Gender Reveal photo! IT’S A GIRL!!!! I’m not the only girl anymore! Woo Hoo!!!!”

Meanwhile, Evan chatted with E! News about the gender reveal, and how happy everyone it was a girl.  

“We are absolutely out of our minds with happiness,” Bass told E! News.

“Our whole family was hoping for a girl, and it’s a dream come true. When we found out we both started crying our eyes out with tears of happiness.”

“We are already planning an all pink room. The boys freaked out.”

Evan even opened up about just how lucky he felt and the impulsive thing it made him do. 

“Also, I was feeling extremely lucky, so I went out and bought a lottery ticket for the first time since I was 18. I didn’t win so I guess I’m not that lucky.”

Evan was definitely unlucky in love before he met Carly, so we’re glad their romance in paradise managed to remain solid when they returned to the United States of America. 

It was just two weeks ago that they confirmed the pregnancy news. 

“SECRET IS OUT GUYS!!!! Evan and I are SO EXCITED to announce we are HAVING A BABY!!!” Carly wrote on Instagram, adding: “What a beautiful, wonderful, wild year it has been and the adventure continues Feb 2018!”

Which milestone will come next for the couple? This romance is showing no signs of slowing down, and we’re totally on board with it.

Carly Waddell and Evan Bass: Expecting First Child!!!!!!

As DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios proved this summer, sometimes sex on Bachelor in Paradise can lead to threats of a lawsuit and the shutdown of production amidst rape allegations.

Other times, however, it can lead to true love… a marriage… and even a baby in a baby carriage!

Isn’t that right, Carly Waddell and Evan Bass?

The couple, who met on the set of this Bachelor/Bachelorette spinoff and then got engaged on the third season finale, made a major announcement on Sunday:

There will soon be a baby on board!

“SECRET IS OUT GUYS!!!! Evan and I are SO EXCITED to announce we are HAVING A BABY!!!” Carly wrote on Instagram, adding:

“What a beautiful, wonderful, wild year it has been and the adventure continues Feb 2018!”

Bass and Waddell exchanged vows just two months ago in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The ceremony was officiated by none other than Chris Harrison.

“We had a dream wedding on Saturday. It was truly the perfect day with friends and family in Mexico,” the newlyweds told People Magazine (the same outlet that broke this pregnancy news) at the time.

While Bachelor in Paradise is known more for drunken hook-ups than truly romantic entanglements, Evan and Carly changed that perception a bit last year.

Just consider the former’s on-air proposal, during which he said the following:

“Carly, our life in Paradise has been nothing short of epic. My love for you has only gotten stronger.

“And the love I feel from you is the most amazing, inexplicable, mind-blowing thing that I just never in a million years thought I would get.

“I feel like my heart beats to your soul.”

Did anyone else just experience ALL THE FEELINGS?

The wedding between these Bachelor in Paradise alums was scheduled to air during the upcoming fourth season.

However, those plans were scrapped after the aforementioned scandal between Olympios and Jackson, which resulted in an internal investigation that eventually put to rest all talk of sexual misconduct.

Season 4 is now set to premiere on August 14.

A few weeks ago, Bass wrote a piece for The Hollywood Reporter in which he said this controversy “broke his heart,” explaining why as follows:

While to some it’s a silly TV show, for me, it was an experience that changed my life in unimaginable ways.

For me, I will be forever grateful to Paradise for guiding me to an incredible stepmother to my own children.

Pretty darn sweet, huh?

We send Carly and Evan nothing but our very best wishes!

Evan Bass and Carly Waddell: Married!

Evan Bass and Carly Waddell may wind up to be the final couple from Bachelor in Paradise to get married.

With the fate of the ABC reality series up in the air, the love birds married during a ceremony in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. Unsurprisingly, the event was officiated by self-proclaimed love guru Chris Harrison. 

With the nuptials set to be broadcast on the dating series, it was always a given that Chris would be involved in the ceremony in some way. 

Guests at the event included fellow Bachelor Nation stars Kaitlyn Bristowe, Nick Viall, and Vanessa Grimaldi. All three were given front row seats to the lavish ceremony which took place on a beach. 

Carly went with a strapless dress, and her hair pulled back, while Evan went with a gray suit. Apparently, each of their vows spanned 20 minutes. Hey, they needed to do something to show off the fact that they were a worthy couple from the franchise. 

Neil Lane was the man who created both of the rings, so it seems like the producers like to use the same person over and over again for Bachelor Nation bling. 

Fittingly, the wedding took place in the same area that Bachelor in Paradise is filmed. Bass and Waddell is now the only couple still together from Season 3 of the series.

The pair looked smitten on the series, so we can only imagine how happy they were to finally tie the knot. They are a rare example of how the franchise can bring two people together. 

It’s unclear when the wedding event will air since it was originally meant to be packaged together with an episode of Bachelor in Paradise. 

As you are all likely aware, production was halted on the series earlier this month after alleged misconduct on the set. That misconduct stemmed from a wild sex scene between Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson. 

Corinne is adamant that she did not consent to the sexual encounter and is claiming she was too drunk to do so. Both parties have lawyered up in the aftermath of it all. 

In the midst of the drama, Evan opened up to The Hollywood Reporter, saying he hopes the series does not come to an end because of what went down. 

“When the news about Paradise production broke the internet, it also broke my heart,” Bass wrote in a guest column posted in The Hollywood Reporter.

“While to some it’s a silly TV show, for me, it was an experience that changed my life in unimaginable ways. I am troubled thinking about the allegations happening on my favorite beach, and I’m sad that some couples will not have the opportunity to find love in a powerful and unique way.”

“Let me reiterate by saying that I do not want to downplay the seriousness of this very difficult situation. My heart goes out to Corinne and everyone negatively affected by this. I pray for peace and healing to begin and personal growth for all,” he said.

“And Paradise must come back, if not this season, then next season.”

The former contestant went on to claim that the “Bachelor shows are important to millions” and are a “beautiful juxtaposition of parody and melodrama that illuminate on our own lives.”

He also said they highlight “important topics the public wrestles with.” We’re not sure what the heck that means because everyone who has ever been on the show looks rather glamorous. 

“This ‘scandal’ has had the unintended consequence of bringing the discussion about ‘consent’ to the forefront of people’s minds,” he wrote. “Frankly, although the circumstances suck and no one wishes harm on anyone, the learning edge of this has been powerful. We all want healthy relationships and to be treated with respect.”
