The post included two photos that were taken during a maternity shoot in Santa Barbara, California. It was noted that People had exclusive details and photos about “The Bachelor” star’s big news.
Palmer told People, “Emely has always wanted a daughter and she is so maternal by nature, I’ve always known that she is going to be the best mom.” He also shared, “I have two brothers and four nephews, so we are finally getting a female addition to the Palmer family!”
Bachelor Nation Was Excited for Palmer & Fardo
Palmer admitted he already has a sense of how he will be as a girl dad. “I know our daughter is going to walk all over me — she already has me wrapped around her finger!” The former football player and “Bachelor” star admitted, though, “I’m a little nervous since I never grew up with girls in the house.”
Fardo noted her pregnancy has gone fairly smoothly.
