The couple also shared a few more intimate photos, including one of Alex holding baby Cole while breastfeeding in her hospital bed just after delivery. Another shot featured Garrett kissing his newborn son’s head as he grinned with pride from the family bed at home.
In one touching image, Garrett was seen carrying Cole out of the hospital, showing off his new dad skills while securing the car seat with one hand.
From Engagement to Marriage to Fatherhood
Garrett and Alex first shared their pregnancy news with Us Weekly and later posted their sonogram photos on Instagram. At the time, Garrett wrote, “Our greatest blessing coming June 2025.
We couldn’t be more excited and grateful.” Their joy was met with a wave of support from their Bachelor Nation friends, including Colton Underwood, who commented, “Ahhhhh YEAH BUDDY!

Garrett’s Journey and Personal Growth
Garrett’s journey to fatherhood follows a complicated chapter in his life. After proposing to Becca Kufrin during his season of The Bachelorette, their engagement was called off in September 2020. Following the split, Garrett faced backlash when it was revealed he had liked a series of controversial and offensive social media posts.
He publicly apologized, reaffirming his remorse and acknowledging how Becca helped him through the difficult period.
Today, Garrett and Alex are enjoying their new roles as parents and are grateful for their growing family, celebrating a new chapter in their lives filled with joy and love.
