She and Stagliano (brother of former Bachelorette contestant Michael Stagliano) tied the knot on Oct. 22, 2011, in Georgia. Her big premarital bash in Las Vegas was featured on an episode of Oxygen's My Bachelorette Party.

Pappas was briefly engaged to Jesse Csincsak after accepting his proposal at the end of the fourth season of The Bachelorette. They broke up in 2009 and, just a few months later, she met her future husband at the season-five taping of The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All special.

The expectant mom told People, which first reported the pregnancy news, that her and Stagliano's first child is due Feb. 8—four days after her hubby's birthday.

"I told him all he's getting for his birthday this year is a baby!" Pappas joked.

Congratulations to the parents-to-be!

Zara Phillips is taking good care of her baby on the way!

The mama-to-be has temporarily quit competitive horse racing and will not continue the sport until after she gives birth, Hello magazine reports.

Prince William's cousin announced she's expecting her first child with her rugby star hubby, Mike Tindall, less than two weeks ago.

NEWS: Zara Phillips pregnant with first child

"The fact is that all of Zara's horses have now qualified for the events she wishes to enter them for next year," a spokesperson for Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter told Hello. "She has done so well already this season, she does not actually need to compete any more. Given that she is pregnant, she has decided to cancel the rest of her entries for the year."

The spokesperson added the royal is being "sensible" while progressing "happily and healthily" in her pregnancy. 

"As we said previously, she is feeling fine and is following all medical advice from her doctors," Zara's rep said, emphasizing that the blond beauty has not had any pregnancy complications.

The pregnant royal has apparently pulled a 180 since last week when Buckingham Palace announced the 32-year-old equestrian would continue to compete in horse races.

"It's business as usual at the moment," the palace initially confirmed. She reportedly competed in the Brightling International Horse Trials in Sussex after announcing her pregnancy.

Last summer, Phillips competed in the Olympics, where she and her Team GB equestrian team took home the silver medal.

Prince William and Kate Middleton were on hand to show their support at the event, which also saw Prince Harry, Princess Anne; Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall; Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie; Zara's brother, Peter Phillips and her hubby in attendance.

Zara and Mike tied the knot in Canongate Kirk, Scotland, in July 2011, just a few months after Will and Kate wed. Phillips and Tindall's child will be 16th in line to the throne.

While the equestrian takes a break from horse racing, the rest of the world is on royal baby watch, as Kate Middleton is currently due to give birth to her first child with Prince William and could go into labor at any moment.

Once the baby is born, the announcement will be made public with a notice placed on the gates of Buckingham Palace, which will also reveal the baby's gender.

Here's hoping for royal baby besties!

Padma Lakshmi's little girl is getting a playmate!

Top Chef judge and Top Chef: Just Desserts host Gail Simmons is expecting her first child with husband Jeremy Abrams this winter, her rep confirmed Tuesday to E! News.

And the contestants on Top Chef: New York had to cater her bridal shower, natch!

Simmons' first child will join a Top Chef family that includes Lakshmi's daughter, Krishna; Tom Colicchio's three sons; and Top Chef Masters host Curtis Stone's 1 1/2-year-old son, Hudson, with Lindsay Price.

It looks like her 2012 memoir, Talking With My Mouth Full, is going to need as sequel!

Talking to AdWeek a year ago, the mom-to-be addressed speculation that there's an on-set rivalry between her and Padma.

"No, I have amazing respect for Padma, and even more so now that I host a show," Simmons said. "She has been incredibly supportive, and I realize now just how much work she does. The role of the host is a lot more complex than people think she is. I'm the Mary Ann to her Ginger, we like to say."
