“The Traitors” star Stephen Colletti is stepping into a brand-new role, and this one is off-screen.
The “Laguna Beach” and “One Tree Hill” alum, 39, announced on Jan. 20 that he and his wife, Alex Weaver, are expecting their first child together, sharing the news in a sweet joint Instagram post.
The black-and-white photos show the couple embracing on the beach, dressed casually in jeans and light sweaters, with Weaver’s baby bump front and center. She kept the caption simple and heartfelt, writing, “Mom & Dad 🤍.” According to the couple’s Instagram post, the announcement immediately drew an outpouring of love from fans and familiar faces across Colletti’s reality TV and acting past.
Former “Laguna Beach” co-star Lo Bosworth, who recently welcomed her own first child, commented, “Omg!!!! Congrats ❤️❤️❤️.” “One Tree Hill” alum Jana Kramer added, “This is going to be the best era watching you be a dad!” Fellow “Laguna Beach” star Jason Wahler wrote, “Wait, what!!!?? Congrats man!!!!” Former “Bachelor” lead Colton Underwood also chimed in with, “DAD. Soooo happy and excited go you both ❤️.”
From Reality TV to Real Life Milestones
The pregnancy news comes just months after Colletti and Weaver tied the knot. The couple married in an intimate civil ceremony on Oct. 3, 2025, after four years together. At the time, they described the wedding as a “beautifully intimate day,” celebrated with close family.
Colletti and Weaver, a NASCAR host and reporter, began dating in 2021 and made their relationship Instagram official the following year. Their romance hit a major milestone in November 2023, when Colletti proposed during a trip to Rome. The proposal took place exactly two years after their first date, a detail Weaver later revealed while sharing how carefully Colletti planned the surprise, including coordinating with a local photographer and designing the engagement ring himself, per Parade.
Now, the couple is adding another major chapter to their timeline as they prepare to welcome their first baby together.
A New Chapter as Colletti Takes on Fatherhood
Colletti’s baby news arrives during an already busy moment in his career. He is currently appearing on season 4 of “The Traitors,” competing alongside familiar names like Lisa Rinna, Donna Kelce and Colton Underwood. While fans are watching him navigate strategy and alliances on-screen, his personal life is entering a much more meaningful phase.
For longtime fans who first met Colletti during his teenage years on MTV, the announcement marks a full-circle moment. From reality TV drama to scripted series and now fatherhood, his journey has evolved far beyond the beaches of Laguna.
As messages continue to pour in, one thing is clear: Colletti’s next era is being welcomed with just as much excitement as his earlier ones. As Jana Kramer put it, “This is going to be the best era watching you be a dad.”
