Tara revealed she was expecting her first child in October, only a month after she and Nick had married.  

She shared a drone clip of the happy couple sitting on a beach while spraying Champagne, with the words written in sand: ‘Baby Shep due May 2021.’ 

Tara and Nick tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in September 2020, after being forced to postpone their wedding in April due to the pandemic.    

The beauty rose to fame on Matty ‘J’ Johnson’s season of The Bachelor in 2017.
