GOLDEN Bachelor star Theresa Nist is welcoming a new addition to her family.
The Bachelor Nation alum shared the personal update with her Instagram followers on Wednesday.
She shared a series of photos of her daughter Jen Woolston revealing her baby bump on the beach.
The post also included a video of Theresa when Jen told her the big news.
Jen sat behind the camera as Theresa sat in a patio chair with her grandsons.
Theresa read a note out loud and tried to decode the message.
Her face lit up when she realized what the note said, and she immediately shrieked.
Theresa screamed and rocked back in her chair before jumping for joy.
She gushed over her daughter’s news in a long Instagram caption that began, “When my daughter asked me last night to take photos of her on the beach because she was going to let everyone know that she’s pregnant I couldn’t have been more thrilled, not only because she asked me to be her photographer (so honored that she trusts my photography skills with this very important announcement!) but also because I no longer have to contain the supreme joy that I’ve been feeling ever since she told me about it more than a month ago.”
Theresa went on to describe the moment that Jen revealed her pregnancy and discussed how proud she was of her daughter.
“I mean, how lucky am I to have two incredible children who married two other incredible humans who then went on to have six beautiful, amazing boys?” she continued.
Bachelor fans flooded her comments with praise, as one comment read, “Congratulations!! You are truly blessed. BTW great photos. Your daughter is beautiful, like her momma!”

Theresa Nist’s full caption
Theresa Nist announced her daughter’s pregnancy in a post on Instagram that read,
“When my daughter asked me last night to take photos of her on the beach because she was going to let everyone know that she’s pregnant I couldn’t have been more thrilled, not only because she asked me to be her photographer (so honored that she trusts my photography skills with this very important announcement!) but also because I no longer have to contain the supreme joy that I’ve been feeling ever since she told me about it more than a month ago.
“I was beyond thrilled to say the least. Luckily my daughter captured it on video so you don’t have to imagine how it went! To say that I am so incredibly happy about this new life within her is a serious understatement.”
“I mean, how lucky am I to have two incredible children who married two other incredible humans who then went on to have six beautiful, amazing boys?”
“And now I am about to have a seventh grandchild? I am filled with so much joy, wonder, love and gratitude for this new life. And this baby is so fortunate to be able to call my daughter ‘Mom’. “
“She treats her three boys with kindness, dignity and respect. She really listens to them and she does it all so fairly and they all love her so much!! I am beyond grateful to be able to be called this baby’s Nana.”
“We’ve had a number of heart-to-heart conversations and we’ve looked carefully at our situation, our living situation, and so forth, and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage,” Gerry said in the interview.
“The thing that strikes me the most in our conversations, it’s been how dedicated both of us are to our families.”
“We feel like it’s best for the happiness of both of us to live apart.”
Although the couple didn’t have the fairytale ending that they were hoping for, they both remained devoted to their respective families.
Golden Bachelor fans can look forward to seeing another fan favorite try their shot at love when former contestant Joan Vassos debuts as the first Golden Bachelorette this fall.
