Bachelorette’s JoJo Fletcher Shares Update After Emergency C-Section

Former Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher is basking in newborn bliss with her infant daughter, Romy Blair, as she recovers from an emergency C-section.

“She’s delicious. I’m so obsessed with her, I can’t handle it,” Fletcher, 35, captioned a Sunday, December 28, selfie via her Instagram Stories. “Mom and Dad and baby girl [are] all doing good! In the newborn trenches, [so] I haven’t had much time at all but wanted to say thank you so much for all the love and wishes.”

Fletcher gave birth to her and husband Jordan Rodgers’ first baby, daughter Romy, on Tuesday, December 23, after experiencing complications that required emergency surgery.

“I’m recovering well,” the Bachelor Nation alum wrote on Sunday, adding that Rodgers, 37, is already “dad goals.”

She continued, “It’s crazy how fast he took to it and has been a total rockstar caring for me and Romy. It’s crazy what they say that you can literally be in full sleep deprivation mode but the second you look at her, you forget it all [because] the only thing you can think about is just how much you love this little angel.”

Rodgers and Fletcher jointly announced Romy’s arrival in a social media post on Christmas.

“Merry Christmas to us ❤️. What a whirlwind these last couple of days have been but in the most magical way,” they captioned hospital photos on Thursday, December 25. “Went in for our weekly sonogram this past Tuesday and found out we needed to deliver via emergency C-section that day. At 5:37pm on December 23, we met our girl.”

They concluded, “Romy Blair Rodgers, you are our whole world. Can’t wait to share more but in the meantime soaking up these moments as a new family of three.”

The married couple, who tied the knot in 2022, revealed in August that they were expecting a baby after experiencing difficulties trying to conceive.

“Fertility is such a sensitive topic to anybody going through it. Jordan and I have been on our own fertility journey — and man, it’s been a journey,” Fletcher exclusively told Us Weekly in July. “I do keep positive about the situation, and I know that when it’s meant to be, it will be.”

She added, “When the time comes and we have a little Baby Rodgers, it’ll be a very, very exciting moment.”

Fletcher and the sportscaster met during Fletcher’s season of The Bachelorette, which aired in 2016.

“It is pretty wild that next year will be a decade of me and Jordan being together,” she told Us this summer. “When I think back on the show I’m like, ‘Oh, that was just, like, two years ago. I was 24 just yesterday!’ No, I’ll be 35 in November. But what a whirlwind and crazy story to be able to tell 10 years later. The fact that we met on a reality TV show — and have been together since we met — is wild.”

Their romance had only grown stronger since Rodgers received Fletcher’s final rose.

“You are the best man I know. The way you have loved, protected, and supported me through all of life’s ups and downs is something I will forever be grateful for,” Fletcher wrote via Instagram in August, captioning a birthday tribute to her husband. “You’ve been my biggest cheerleader from the day I met you, always pushing me to chase any dream I’ve ever set for myself and are always by my side to help in any way needed.”
