Bachelor Nation couples have produced their fair share of adorable babies over the years, from Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici to Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum.

Lowe met and fell in love with Giudici while starring on season 17 of The Bachelor. Nearly two years after the duo tied the knot in January 2014 in California, they announced that their first child was on the way. Their son Samuel arrived in November 2017, followed by son Isaiah and daughter Mia in May 2018 and December 2019, respectively.

As for Hebert and Rosenbaum, the pair announced their split in October 2020 after welcoming son Fordham in September 2014 and daughter Essex in November 2016. The former couple now coparent their two children, documenting their birthday parties and holiday celebrations together.

The exes’ dynamic is “complex,” Hebert told her Instagram followers in August 2021, explaining, “If I’m ever in a situation where I am torn about what to do or say, I ask myself, ‘What is the right thing for the kids?’ I let that guide me.”

Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee welcomed sons Brandon and Dylan before their 1998 split — and they’ve continued to prioritize their kids ever since.

The former couple tied the knot in February 1995 following a whirlwind romance, and they became parents when Brandon was born in June of the following year. Their second child arrived in December 1997.

Brandon and Dylan have gone on to follow their parents’ footsteps in the entertainment industry. Brandon starred on Hills: New Beginnings and Dylan is a musician.

“I like to kind of pave [my] own path,” Dylan exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2020. “I guarantee if we mess up, [my] family [would be] like, ‘You gotta do this.’ But other than that, I feel like we do a pretty good job of navigating our way.”

Dylan gushed that his mom is “always playing” his band Midnight Kids’ songs. “I remember she was, like, at the nail salon and heard Midnight Kids playing in the nail salon and she was like, ‘What the f–k?’ Like, ‘That’s crazy!’” he recalled. “She sent me a video. She loves it.”

A smile that brightens every room. I respect you. I love you. I adore you.”

Anderson brought Brandon as her date to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, several months before her starring turn in The Last Showgirl. Anderson had agreed to join the Gia Coppola project at Brandon’s request.
“When I first laid eyes on it, I wasn’t really used to looking at projects like that for Pamela,” Brandon told Variety the following December. “It was such a breath of fresh air, and it was so impactful, and it was something I knew she could deliver on. And it was so timely, and it just seemed like the stars were aligning a bit on it and how it was playing into this arc of where she was in her career. I knew there were so many real-life inspirations she could take into this.”
Earlier that month, Anderson was nominated for a Golden Globe for the role and planned to take Brandon to the ceremony in January 2025.

“We are pleased to announce that Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their firstborn child in the early morning on May 6th, 2019,” the pair wrote on Instagram. “Their Royal Highnesses’ son weighs 7lbs. 3oz. The duchess and baby are both healthy and well, and the couple thank members of the public for their shared excitement and support during this very special time in their lives. More details will be shared in the forthcoming days.”

When Harry and Megan brought their baby out for his royal debut that same month, the former actress gushed about their son.

“He has the sweetest temperament,” she told members of the press inside Windsor Castle. “He’s really calm. He’s been the dream, so it’s been a special couple of days.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Quotes About Daughter Lilibet

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are loving life with daughter Princess Lilibet following her birth in June 2021.

Harry and Meghan had welcomed their eldest son, Prince Archie, two years earlier in May 2019 and he took to his big brother role immediately.

“Archie absolutely adores his little sister and gives her lots of kisses,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2021. “He’s held her with the help of his parents.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are raising their two children in California, which is where they moved in 2020 after stepping down from their duties as senior working royals. While the royal drama put Harry at odds with his family, he is hopeful that the feud won’t be passed down to the next generation.

“I’ve said before that I’ve wanted a family, not an institution — so of course, I would love nothing more than for our children to have relationships with members of my family, and they do with some, which brings me great joy,” Harry told People in January 2023.

Keep scrolling to read Harry and Meghan’s sweetest quotes about their daughter:

Harry spoke about his daughter while at the WellChild Awards in October 2024 — discussing a trait she’s gotten from her mom.
“Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother’s thick hair,” Harry said, Hello! Magazine reported at the time, noting that the Duke of Sussex joked “it won’t be long until Lili can sit on hers.”

©

During Harry and Meghan’s May 2024 visit to Nigeria, the duchess recalled a sweet moment with Lili.
“A few weeks ago, she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. She [said], ‘Mama, I see me in you,’” Meghan told local students. “She was talking really, literally. But I hung onto those words in a very different way. And I thought, yes, I do see me and you, and you see me and you, but as I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well.”

©

The Spare author revealed that Lili is “obsessed” with her older brother.
“The gap between me and William was very similar to Archie and Lili," Harry said during his ITV interview in January 2023. “And to see Lili obsessed with Archie and Archie like, ‘No, no, Lili, I need my space. I need my space now.’ I get it. … I get how irritating the younger sibling can be to the older sibling.”

"My son, my daughter, my children are mixed race, and I'm really proud of that," Harry said in an episode of Netflix's Harry & Meghan. "When my kids grow up and they look back at this moment and they turn to me and say, 'What did you do in this moment?' I want to be able to give them an answer. I think it's such a responsibility as human beings that if you bring a small person into this world that you should be doing anything you can to make the world a better place for them."

Meghan gave a glimpse of her and Harry's "chaotic" mornings with Lili and Archie during a November 2022 episode of her "Archetypes" podcast. "She's a year and a couple of months old [and] in the thick of it — toddling," the duchess said, noting that her daughter had "just started walking."

During a February 2022 event, Harry told Serena Williams that “aiming for … mental fitness” can be a “bumpy road” while raising two kids, adding, “I've now put in about half an hour, 45 minutes in the morning when it's like, ‘OK, one of the kids has gone to school, the other one's taking a nap.'

“We wanted to do something fun for the kids and then the kids were just not into it at all,” Markle said of Halloween on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in November 2021. “Archie was a dinosaur for maybe five minutes — not even five minutes.

“In June, my husband and I welcomed our second child,” the former actress wrote in an October 2021 letter to U.S. Congress supporting paid parental leave. "Like any parents, we were overjoyed. Like many parents, we were overwhelmed. Like fewer parents, we weren't confronted with the harsh reality of either spending those first few critical months with our baby or going back to work. We knew we could take her home and in that vital (and sacred) stage, devote any and everything to our kids and to our family. We knew that by doing so we wouldn't have to make impossible choices about childcare, work and medical care that so many have to make every single day."
