Fans may remember Mara Agrait from Season 26 of “The Bachelor” and Season 8 of “Bachelor in Paradise.” Those same viewers may also be excited to find out that the reality TV alum is now expecting her first child and made the big announcement with an adorable video featuring herself and her fiancé, Joel Sanger.
“After hours bottle service just got a whole new meaning…,” Mara wrote in the caption of an Instagram post. The accompanying video shows Mara and Joel switching drinks for bottles — Mara’s is, fittingly, a baby bottle. The caption then reads: “Baby Sanger pouring in March 2026 🤍”
She continued, “Cheers, friends! We couldn’t be happier to announce we are pregnant and are so excited to meet our little one. Taking bets now… do we think it’s a boy or a girl? 💙🍼💗”

Another person added, “Can’t waitttttt!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥so excited for you guys!!!!”
Someone else wrote, “Omg Mara!!! The good news is with you just keeps coming! I love it! Congrats!!!❤️”
Yet another fan of the news commented by saying, “This baby has no idea the grand life you’re about to give them!!!”
Mara Revealed the Baby’s Gender
Although Mara asked about the baby’s gender in her Instagram post, she took to her IG stories to make the exciting reveal, according to Bachelor Nation.
During a Halloween party that was also a gender reveal celebration, Mara and Joel could be seen standing behind a cauldron that is producing blue smoke, suggesting the two parents-to-be are having a baby boy.
Mara & Joel are Recently Engaged
This has been a big month when it comes to special announcements from Mara. It was just back on October that she revealed that she and Joel were engaged.
“The happiest moment of my life was when you got down on one knee, in the most breathtaking place I’ve ever seen, and asked me to be yours forever,” Mara added in the caption of an Instagram post.
“We made the best decision of our lives when we chose each other and I’m beyond excited to see what the future has in store for us,” she added. “I can’t wait to build a life and a beautiful family with you. You really are so incredibly special, I feel lucky and honored to call you mine… my future husband. (I just LOVE the way that sounds) 💍🤍”
