Now that Big Brother alum Victor Arroyo and Nicole Franzel have started growing their family, they plan to have more babies “back to back.” Nicole and Victor announced they were expecting their first child together in January of 2021. Two months later, they tied the knot in Florida after being forced to rearrange their wedding plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last month, the Big Brother alum became first-time parents when they welcomed their son Victor “Arrow” Arroyo into the world. Arrow was born on Friday, July 23. He weighed 6lbs., 15oz. and measured 20 inches long at the time of his birth. Towards the end of her pregnancy, Nicole’s doctors discovered that Arrow was breached, meaning he did not flip into the proper positioning for labor. Nicole ultimately had to have a C-section delivery due to Arrow being breached.
Although Nicole was worried about having a C-section, she later described the experience as “magical.” Now, she and Victor are ready to have more kids. Victor said on his Instagram Story that he and Nicole want to have more babies “back to back.” When Nicole was still in the hospital, Victor was keeping fans updated on social media. One fan asked him how soon he and Nicole hoped to give Arrow a brother or sister. Victor noted, “We want them back-to-back.” In all, Nicole and Victor hope to have four kids together.
Victor tagged Nicole in the post; however, she has not spoken on the subject. Nicole has since made her return to social media since giving birth to Arrow. Similar to how she was throughout her entire pregnancy, Nicole has been quite open and honest about her labor and postpartum experiences. A few days after returning home as a family of three, Nicole headed back to the hospital due to heavy bleeding. Nicole feared she was hemorrhaging. Luckily, she was okay and returned home not long after arriving at the emergency room. Since then, Nicole has been recovering from her C-section delivery and adjusting to life as a new mom quite well.
In addition to baby Arrow, Victor and Nicole are also fur parents to two dogs. Nicole loves animals and will often times bring home stray animals she finds that may be injured. She will then take care of them until she can find them a loving home. As for Victor, he keeps busy with his strenuous work hours. Since both Nicole and Victor live busy day to day lives, it is unclear if they will in fact eventually have four kids together; however, they will more than likely give Arrow at least one sibling. According to Victor, Arrow will become a big brother sooner rather than later. Perhaps 20 years from now, all of their kids can compete on Big Brother together in a potential siblings twist.
Big Brother 23 airs Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8pm EST on CBS.
