Former Bachelor star Nikki Gogan and her architect fiance Bill Coe have welcomed a baby boy named Bobby Brian. The 39-year-old mother shared the news on Instagram on Monday evening alongside black-and-white footage of Coe bonding with their child, stating that the baby arrived in June 2026.
Gogan captioned the video with a message of affection for her son. "Our beautiful baby boy arrived June 2026 and we've been soaking up every precious moment with him since," she wrote. "We are so proud to be your Mum and Dad, our sweet Bobby boy."
The announcement received celebratory messages from fellow former Bachelor contestants, including Alex Nation and Irena Gilbert.
Pregnancy announcement and relationship details
Gogan previously announced her pregnancy in February by publishing photographs of the couple cradling her baby bump. "Half way to meeting our sweet little love. Our winter baby," she wrote at the time.
That announcement also drew comments from former Bachelor stars. Kiki Morris responded, "Awwwww congrats", while Tiffany Scanlon wrote, "Awwww yay! So happy for you! Motherhood is the most life changing but amazing chapter. Msg me if you have any questions."
Gogan and Coe have been together for around eight years, making their relationship public on Instagram in June 2018 during Gogan's 31st birthday. "Believe me when I say that I am the luckiest girl in the entire world," Gogan captioned a photo of the pair. "I am surrounded and loved by the most incredible people and I am so so grateful. This has been the best birthday ever and this man is a major part of that."
Speaking to NW magazine at the time, Gogan confirmed that Coe, a director at Slavin Architects, was her ideal partner. "He's my dream guy," she said. "I'm very happy."
Engagement and Bachelor background
The couple announced their engagement on Instagram in July 2022, with Gogan sharing a photo cuddling up to Coe while displaying a diamond ring.
Gogan first came to public attention in 2016 as the runner-up on Richie Strahan's season of The Bachelor, finishing behind Alex Nation. Nation and Strahan ended their relationship one year later and later appeared on Bachelor In Paradise in 2019 for an on-camera reunion, during which Nation alluded to the pair agreeing to have an abortion while together.
Gogan declined an offer to feature on Bachelor in Paradise, choosing instead to remain out of the public eye. Strahan has also withdrawn from the spotlight, having last updated his Instagram account in July 2024.
