A HUGE thank you to those who have been praying alongside us for this miracle,” wrote Franzel, who also appeared on 2014’s Big Brother Season 16, Big Brother 22: All Stars in 2020 and Big Brother Reindeer Games in 2023. “3 years in waiting and God said it’s time! our little family is growing!!”

Franzel and Arroyo had plenty of their fellow Big Brother alum in the comment section celebrating their baby news.

“Just screamed at my tv!!!” wrote Big Brother 21‘s Tommy Bracco. “Been keeping up on your journey so i know how much this means!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!”

Dani Briones of Big Brother Seasons 8, 13 and 22 added, “Nicole I’m so happy for you. Always worth the wait & just the right timing. Congratulations to you three.”

Brittany Hoopes of Big Brother 24 chimed in, “Congrats! I know firsthand how hard the wait can be. So happy to hear your time has come!”

Franzel and Arroyo met during Season 18 of the CBS reality show, becoming friends before ultimately turning their relationship to romance outside of the Big Brother house. The pair tied the knot in March 2021 and welcomed their firstborn, Victor “Arrow” Arroyo IV, in July of that same year.
