“We both feel really blessed and couldn’t be happier to grow our little family! Can’t wait to see our Frankie girl as a big sis!!”
Frankie seemed excited to take on the role in an update Jen shared just weeks later, which showed one-year-old asleep on her mum’s chest and cuddled up around her pregnant belly.
“Fell asleep on me (& on her baby bro). My heart,” the 37-year-old mother of two penned.
Welcoming their son is an exciting milestone for Jen and Jake, who have spoken before about struggling to start a family.
Though she didn’t speak publicly about it until 2019, the former Miss Universe winner faced an emotional fertility battle behind the scenes when they first tried to conceive.
She and Jake had thought starting a family would be easy, but the model suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage when she first fell pregnant.
It was later confirmed she had a severe form of endometriosis and she had to undergo surgery to treat the condition.
“Last year was such a tough year for Jake and me. It was the toughest year of our lives. I felt like I almost broke and, in fact, it’s still really raw,” she told Stellar in 2019.
“But Jake was amazing. He let me sit with the pain, feel it and not be OK.”
The couple finally announced they were pregnant in 2019, welcoming little Frankie that same year.
Now, Jen and Jake will have their hands full with two little ones, but they couldn’t look happier – congratulations to the new parents!
Jen’s daughter Frankie will no doubt make a great big sister!
