A Running List of All of the 'Big Brother' USA Couples Who Had Babies
Since it debuted in the United States in 2000, 'Big Brother' has led to multiple marriages and babies. We have a refresher on them all.
Over the years, Big Brother has given viewers intense drama, epic backstabbing moments, and friendships that can turn on a dime. While there have also been a lot of showmances on the CBS reality series since it debuted in 2000, a few Big Brother couples have managed to make their relationships work when the cameras are no longer rolling.
In addition to the engagements and marriages that have resulted from the show, multiple alum couples have welcomed babies together.

From Rachel Reilly and Brendon Villegas to Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo's surprise pregnancy announcement, we've rounded up the most notable cast members who have grown their families after initially meeting on the show.
Keep reading for the list of Big Brother couples who have had babies together (and to learn what their current relationship statuses are).
1. Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo
Nicole, who appeared on the show three times, and Victor, who was on once, first locked eyes during Season 18. Their relationship was platonic at first, and the two began dating after their stint on the show. Their romance surprised some fans, as Nicole was viewed as a villain for voting out Ian Terry on Big Brother 22.

The next title they can each add to their resumes is "parent."

5. Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder
After winning Big Brother 11, Jordan had more to celebrate than just her $500,000 prize money. She began dating co-star Jeff Schroeder in 2009, and the two moved to Los Angeles together in 2012.
In a move made for reality TV, Jeff proposed to Jordan in the backyard of the Big Brother house in 2014.

Though they originally intended on getting married in the fall of 2016, they pushed their nuptials up to March of that year. Their son, Lawson Keith, was born in October of 2016. Their second son, Layton Sarti, was born in September of 2018.
The family now lives in Colorado.
Though most Big Brother competitors enter the house for money or fame, some do walk away with something that is arguably more valuable (and potentially longer-lasting): love.
