“Our family is growing. Baby Karlsson #2 is joining us in December and we couldn’t be happier,” Emily captioned the sweet post.
In one of the photos, Emily was cradling her baby bump while wearing a white and blue floral dress.
Beckham just turned one on May 12, and Emily believes he’s “is going to be the BEST Big Brother” ever.
Congratulatory comments poured in from Bachelor Nation.
“So happy!!!!” Lauren Bushnell wrote.
Emily’s twin sister and fellow The Bachelor alum gushed, “I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!”
Amanda Stanton commented, “Awww!! Congratulations.”
And Raven Gates gushed, “Oh my gosh!! Congrats.”
Shortly after announcing her pregnancy, Emily conducted a Q&A session with her fans via Instagram Stories, according to BachelorNation.com.
Emily revealed that she and William already know the sex of Baby No. 2 and will do a gender reveal soon.
When asked how she’s been feeling, Emily shared, “This pregnancy has been much easier than my last pregnancy! I was nauseous and vomiting for about two weeks and that’s it!”
While Emily noted she’s “way more exhausted” this time around, she clarified, “but I know that’s normal because this time I’m chasing a toddler around. Overall I feel amazing and have no cravings and very minimal symptoms!”
Emily also insisted she’s “so excited” to have two kids under the age of two.
“I’m honestly so excited for them to be so close in age. I always told Will that once we have kids, let’s just have them back to back!” Emily explained.
“I feel a bit in over my head sometimes, but overall I’m feeling excited and I’m grateful to be surrounded by a lot of people who help us. We are blessed with an amazing support system and we couldn’t do it without them.”

Emily and William began dating in November 2017, and the pair got engaged in December 2020, shortly after their four-year dating anniversary.
“This is a moment I’ve dreamed of since I was a little girl and it’s more than I could have ever imagined because it’s truly with my perfect person. I can’t wait to grow old and laugh with you forever 12/11/2020,” Emily gushed on Instagram after getting engaged.
Emily called the proposal “perfect,” and added, “William Karlsson, thank you for loving me for me. You love me when I’m at my worst and when I’m at my best. I don’t know how I got so lucky. I can’t wait to do life with you forever.”
Emily and Haley celebrated with a joint bridal shower and bachelorette party before Emily walked down the aisle on July 23, 2022 to her “dream guy,” William, at Resorts World Las Vegas in Nevada.
“He’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of and more,” Emily told Us Weekly at the time.
Emily also told the magazine shortly after saying, “I do,” that she was “ready for kids” and had been for a while by that point.
Emily then announced her first pregnancy in November 2022.
Emily and Haley, who co-host “The Twinning at Life” podcast, found fame when they both competed on Season 20 of The Bachelor starring Ben Higgins in 2016.
After neither bubbly influencer and model was able to win Ben’s heart, they subsequently appeared on Bachelor in Paradise’s third and fourth seasons.
Following Ben’s stint on The Bachelor, he and his then-fiancee Lauren Bushnell starred on a season of Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After? on Freeform.
Since Emily and Haley often appeared on the series as Lauren’s best friends, the twins took over for Ben and Lauren and starred on the subsequent season of the spinoff, which was renamed The Twins: Happily Ever After?.
Freeform only aired one season of The Twins: Happily Ever After? in 2017.
While Emily got romantically involved with William in 2017, Haley returned to Mexico for another shot at love on Bachelor in Paradise’s sixth edition in 2019.
Haley proceeded to go Instagram official with her husband, Oula Palve, in January 2020, and they announced their engagement in May 2021.

Haley and Oula just welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Lovi Lavigne, on April 27.
