The Couple’s Love Story
Fletcher, 34, and Rodgers, 36, met and fell in love during Fletcher’s season of “The Bachelorette” back in 2016. The couple tied the knot in May 2022, and have been happily married ever since.
While the former “Bachelorette” hasn’t shared much about her fertility journey, she has been forthcoming about how she wants to start a family.
In April 2025, she wrote on her Instagram Stories, “Trying acupuncture to help with fertility… I haven’t talked about our TTC journey at all, but I know so many of us are in the same boat. Thinking and sending positive vibes your way if you are on this same journey,” Bachelor Nation wrote.
In July 2025, she told Us Weekly, “Fertility is such a sensitive topic to anybody going through it. Jordan and I have been on our own fertility journey — and man, it’s been a journey. But I do keep positive about the situation and I know that when it’s meant to be, it will be.”
It looks like it’s meant to be right now, so congrats to the happy couple.
