Megan Walerius, aka 'Sparkle' Megan, dropped a bombshell on the Love is Blind season nine reunion.
The 35-year-old personality, who rose to fame on the popular Netflix dating series, revealed she has given birth to a son.
The admission left fans reeling after she dumped ex-fiancé Jordan Keltner after expressing doubt about becoming a stepmom to his five-year-old son Luca.
'Today I actually have a little bit of a surprise,' Megan said while being interviewed by hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey. 'I am a mom now. I had a baby boy two-and-a-half months ago.'
It came after she was asked if she still thought maybe she wasn't cut out for motherhood.
She gushed that her newborn, Brooks, is 'my whole world,' before declaring, 'I now know more than ever I was meant on this earth to be a mom. He's amazing and our family is very happy.'

Megan was supported by her partner Paul, who watched the reunion from the audience.
And she went on to share that they met through a mutual friend three months after filming wrapped, and became pregnant another three months later.
During the segment she candidly said her new relationship has taken some adjusting.
'We had our ups and downs,' she confessed. 'I'm not going to say it was perfect. But Paul has been amazing, and we're very happy.'
The new mother went on to affirm, 'I'm definitely learning to be a lot more selfless. I think that becoming a mom is the ultimate act of selflessness. It's given me a lot more empathy, too, for Jordan and being a single dad. I applaud Jordan for even doing this experiment and putting his heart out there. It's really special.'
While viewers and most of the cast were left stunned, the news wasn't a surprise to everyone.
Jordan shared that after he was tipped off about Megan's pregnancy via 'some disgusting' person, he contacted his ex-fiancée directly.
'I had some disgusting person reach out to me on Instagram pretty much trying to stir the pot, so I just reached out to Megan. She was very transparent, which I appreciate. If I would've found out right here, right now, I think that would have been jarring, so I appreciate the transparency and the honesty. You're gonna be great parents, and I have no doubt in my mind about that,' he said.
Following the revelation, fans voiced sympathy for Jordan, who appeared glossy-eyed and stoic throughout the conversation

'The timeline... that was quick!' remarked one person on Instagram while another questioned, 'When was this season actually filmed? Just trying to do the math here lol.'
Another person attempted to connect the dots, writing, 'So, she must've had a wham bam thank you ma'am around the holiday season of 2024 #WowHappyNewYearToSparkleMegan.'
'I don’t understand how MEGAN was so “in love” & was planning a whole wedding & literally a couple months later, a whole baby & man. Jordan didn’t deserve this. I feel bad for him. He was more in than she was. Maybe he was just not rich enough,' said a different viewer.
There was also a comment reading, 'Imagine Jordan’s heart when he found out she was having a child right after breaking things off with him ultimately because he had a child. Dude probably started questioning reality.'

The last episode of season nine saw Megan call off her wedding to Jordan days before they were set to exchange vows
It came to light during the season that Megan was questioning if she wanted to have kids
Ahead of the reunion's Wednesday premiere, Megan teased online, 'There’s always more to the story... Who’s ready for the reunion tonight?! Tune in to @netflix at 6pm PST✨.'
The last episode of season nine saw Megan call off her wedding to Jordan days before they were set to exchange vows.
She told him at the time, 'I still have reservations, and that's not how I should be feeling going into my wedding [and] our wedding.
'I'm sorry for not feeling more compassion for you and understanding and giving you what you needed in a fiancée. I just can't do this.'
The exes originally connected over Jordan's son Luca having the same diabetes diagnosis as Megan's late father.
But it later came to light that Megan was questioning if she wanted to have kids.
'I mean, maybe I'm just not cut out to be a stepmom. Honestly, this has me questioning if I'm even cut out to be a mom,' she said during the season.
She pondered, 'I don't know, maybe I am too caught up in my own life. All I wanted coming into this experiment was to find love and to find my partner. I will love Jordan always — but he's not my partner.'
