The Big Brother family is growing!
On August 24, Big Brother Season 18 winner Nicole Franzel-Arroyo and Victor Arroyo III, who won America’s Favorite Houseguest during the same season, took to social media to announce some exciting news.
The reality TV couple revealed they are expecting their second child after years of trying. In the announcement, the Michigan-based couple revealed that their son Victor “Arrow” Arroyo is finally going to be a big brother!
Along with an adorable photoshoot, featuring the happy couple, their son, and a goat, Franzel posted, “We are PREGNANT 🥹!! Praise Jesus!!” She added, “A HUGE thank you to those who have been praying alongside us for this miracle. 3 years in waiting and God said it’s time 🥰🤍 our little family is growing!!”
At the same time, Franzel made a guest appearance on Big Brother: Unlocked to share the news with hosts Taylor Hale and Derrick Levasseur. She stated, “I know I am raising my glass to you, but this isn’t wine—it’s grape juice because Victor and I are excited to announce that we’re having another Big Brother baby!”

Joining in the celebration, Season 21 Houseguest Tommy Bracco commented, “Just screamed at my TV!!! Been keeping up on your journey, so I know how much this means!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!” Hannah Chaddha from Season 23 also sent well wishes to the couple. “Congratulations Nicole & Victor (and Arrow)🤍,” she wrote.
Franzel and Arroyo met on Season 18 of Big Brother. However, their relationship did not take off romantically until they crossed paths at a party for Season 19 of the reality TV show.
While the couple had their first child in 2021, Nicole recently shared, “I follow people who had a baby the same time I had Arrow. Now they are pregnant with baby #4. I’m so happy for them. It’s just hard for me to think, ‘why not us?'” She added, “Trying to get just one positive pregnancy test seems impossible over here.”
Now that the Big Brother couple’s family is expanding, it looks like their prayers were finally answered.
