Former Bachelor Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins has surprised fans by announcing he and girlfriend, Alexandra George, are expecting their first child.
In a photo shared on both their Instagram accounts, the parents-to-be sitting on a log chair and sharing a kiss, with Nick cradling Alexandra’s belly.
Nick captioned the sweet shot, “My darling and I look forward lovingly to the arrival of our little badger cub ❤️.”
The former SAS star‘s friends, family, and fans swamped his Instagram with congratulatory messages.
One shared, “Amazing news guys! Biggest congrats and sending lots of love ❤️✨🙌🏼,” and another penned, “That’s awesome! Good on ya mate.”
Alexandra, a Sydney socialite, also shared their scenic pregnancy picture on her Instagram with a screenshot of her sonogram.
“We decided to create a little hybrid!! Can’t wait to share this next chapter with the love of my life 😍 welcoming our little badger cub into this world shortly,” she gushed in her caption.
The couple hasn’t revealed their baby’s due date or gender, but their little one is expected to arrive later in 2022.
Nick and his girlfriend have been dating since at least June 2020, and according to The Daily Telegraph, they spent lockdown together in Seal Rocks, situated on the mid-north coast of New South Wales.
They made their relationship public in January 2021 when Nick shared a photo of himself cosying up to Alexandra on a boat with wide smiles plastered on their faces.
The former rugby player didn’t tag her in the post or mention her in the caption, which simply read: “This sunset @kingfisherbayresort is a must see.”
The couple have since posted pictures of each other sparingly, but fans can tell they’re very loved up when they do.
Nick is infamous for becoming The Bachelor’s most controversial leading man when he failed to choose between Brittany Hockley and Sophie Tieman during the season six finale in 2018.
