LOS ANGELES, April 7 (UPI) -- Reality star couple Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd are married and expecting their first child.
The 37-year-old television personality and 29-year-old former reality show contestant announced the news Wednesday on their YouTube channel, Jeff and Jordan TV.
"To be honest with you, we've been trying to wrap our heads around this," Schroeder told fans. "[Jordan's] a couple of months along right now, so it's okay to tell everybody ... We just wanted to get the word out."
Schroeder and Lloyd met on Big Brother Season 11 in 2009 and started dating the same year. The couple were planning on marrying in September but changed their plans after Lloyd found out she's pregnant in February.
"I was not expecting it!" Lloyd told Us Weekly magazine. "My mind was completely on wedding mode and not on baby mode -- was not expecting babies for like another two years, and, yeah, so then that's what happened."
"It definitely threw us through a loop, and we were kind of like, 'Well, we need to figure this out, because the baby is going to be born October 20,'" she added. "I [didn't] want to be walking down the aisle nine months pregnant and my dress won't fit."
Schroeder and Lloyd got engaged on Big Brother Season 16 in 2014 and had a courthouse wedding March 15 with a "handful of friends" in attendance. The pair plan to celebrate again with all of their family and friends next year.
"It was actually pretty nice," Schroeder said of their low-key nuptials. "Afterward, we were like movie stars. We went to the Beverly Hills Hotel and had lunch, and then, at night, we went and got massages ... We lived the life that day."
Schroeder and Lloyd also competed on The Amazing Race Season 16 and Big Brother Season 13 after Lloyd won Season 11. Schroeder has since hosted the online Big Brother recap show, Big Brother Live Chat, and the similar Survivor Live.
