Martinez announced she was expecting in September. She said in an interview with Pure Wow that she learned she was pregnant three months into her relationship with Leonard, whom she started dating in February 2018.

"I was in disbelief and thought, 'Is this really happening?'" the star recalled.

Martinez said it was "a dream come true" to be expecting, despite her surprise at the news.

"It's the one thing that I've known with certainty for so long. I've gone back and forth on the idea of marriage and relationships, but I've always felt sure that I want to be a mom," she said.

Martinez appeared as a contestant in The Bachelor Season 22 starring Arie Luyendyk Jr. Luyendyk ultimately got engaged to Lauren Burnham and is expecting his first child with the television personality.
