Cody Calafiore is going to be a dad!
The Big Brother star, who first appeared on season 14 and later won season 22 of the reality TV series, is expecting his first baby with his wife, Cristie Laratta, sharing the news on Instagram. In the sweet beachside photos, Calafiore could be seen holding his wife in his arms.
In the first snap, Laratta held up a series of sonogram images, smiling up at her husband. Other photos show the two standing on the beach, with Laratta wearing low-slung white jeans that exposed her bump.

In February 2024, Calafiore tied the knot with his longtime love, Laratta, in New Jersey, where they both grew up — and first met. They celebrated their nuptials at Shadowbrook at Shrewsburysurrounded by 200 loved ones.
“We had an incredible time. It was the best day of our lives,” Calafiore told PEOPLE, saying their vision for their big day came together just as they hoped.
“What was most important to us was celebrating with all our friends and family,” he continued. “We wanted a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony that captures the story of how we fell in love, and then high vibes all night and dancing the night away with everyone we love.”
At the time, Calafiore and Laratta told PEOPLE that they were looking forward to beginning their married life together.
“I can’t wait to continue our adventure and all that is to come from traveling, buying a home together and starting a family,” Laratta toldPEOPLE.
“Hopefully babies!” added Calafiore.
The pair first met in a crowded bar on the Fourth of July in 2015, and got engaged seven years later in October 2022. Calafiore popped the question to Laratta in a surprise proposal at Riverside Gardens Park in Red Bank, New Jersey, just as the sun was setting.
