Bachelor Nation alum Peter Kraus found a new kind of love upon the arrival of his and wife Hana Ostapchuk’s first baby.
“Our sweet Andie girl is here ???? Born on Saturday afternoon, just hours before the biggest blizzard of the season – just as it was almost 40 years ago on Peter’s birthday ????,” the pair wrote in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday, March 17. “We each prayed for this baby girl long before we ever met. We talked about the idea of her since our first date. To now have her here — healthy, happy, and bundled – is the greatest gift.”
The caption continued, “Thank you God for this answered prayer. Thank you to the incredible nurses and staff at Meriter Hospital for such a beautiful birthing experience. And thank you to our parents, who were there for her arrival and continue to support us every single day.”
Alongside the message, Kraus and Ostapchuk shared several sweet images of the couple gazing at their newborn.
“It truly takes a village – and we are so grateful for ours,” the caption concluded. “You are already so deeply loved, sweet Andie. Our little Pi Day baby ????. We love you endlessly.”
Eight years after his stint on Rachel Lindsay’s season 13 of The Bachelorette, Kraus announced his engagement to Ostapchuk.
“Throughout it all, it was always you. I just had to find you. I love you. Words cannot express the love and happiness we feel. Last night was truly magical and only possible because of an amazing support system of incredible people in our lives! We are so thankful,” he captioned Instagram photos of his proposal in July 2025. “We are ENGAGED!!”
In September 2025, Ostapchuk revealed her pregnancy, debuting her baby bump in a black one-piece swimsuit.
“A new chapter, the best chapter ????️????,” she gushed via Instagram at the time. “One week after our engagement, we got the surprise of our lives. Gods [sic] plans are perfect, and our hearts are full of gratitude. Angel baby coming this March!! God is so so so good ???? #14weeks.”
Two months later, the couple shared the sex of their baby in a sweet Instagram video, revealing the pink interior of a cake to discover they were having a girl. The couple embraced in an emotional moment captured on camera.
Amid the pregnancy, the parents-to-be teased their upcoming wedding in an exclusive September 2025 interview with Us Weekly.
“I’ll say that it’s in my mom’s backyard. I think we both knew we wanted to do a little backyard wedding, something intimate,” Ostapchuk told Us at the time. “I think when you have the luxury of getting married in your 20s, you sort of romanticize this huge thing. Now that we’re both a little bit older, we don’t need any of that stuff. We’re just gonna do a small wedding around the holidays in my mom’s backyard.”
Kraus and Ostapchuk ultimately tied the knot in December 2025.
“Thirty-nine years preparing for you,” he captioned their wedding photos via Instagram at the time. “Gods [sic] plan is always on time.”
