Any semblance of a Bachelor Pad is long gone for Michael Stagliano — he’s going to be a dad!RELATED: DeAnna Pappas Stagliano Welcomes Son Austin Michael
The Bachelorette season 5 contestant and his wife Emily are expecting their first child, a son, in early November, the couple tell PEOPLE exclusively.
“For our family, we did something a bit more special, but for our close friends, we’ve just been blindsiding them in conversation,” Stagliano, 32, says of how he and Emily — whom he calls “insanely loving and nurturing” — have been breaking the news to their loved ones. “And the reactions are so great.”
The couple, who are celebrating two years of marriage Tuesday, had a timeline in mind for when they wanted to conceive — thanks to his twin brother Stephen Stagliano‘s growing family with former Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas Stagliano.
“We knew that we wanted to wait a tiny bit after we got married,” says Stagliano, who now works as a TV writer. “As soon as we got to hold [our niece] Addison, that gave us a little bit of baby fever.”
“[Their son] Austin was born in March and our little guy will be here in early November, so they’ll be close in age,” adds Emily, 31, who also admits to being a “type-A planner.”
