Viall popped the question to his longtime love in January of this year, and the pair celebrated with a massive party featuring many of the Bachelor Nation pals. Content creator and influencer Natasha Bure chronicled the lavish event via TikTok.

The pair had been dating for two years. Joy was the one to make the first move. She slid into the former reality star's DMs with a proclamation; according to an interview with E! per our coverage on the couple's engagement, Joy told her future husband, "You're unreal." (quote via People Magazine). "I guess it was funny," Viall continued. "I was more curious, wondering why I was unreal."

The couple's engagement news comes days after Joy posted a picture of the duo frolicking at sunset on Instagram. She captioned the photo "thriving."

Viall and Joy have seemingly always maintained the idea that they are "thriving," and they appear not to care what the public thinks, or how NSFW the evidence is! The Blast has taken a look before at the comments of an intimate shot that the couple shared for Valentine's Day this year. They have posted several sizzling shots since.

The couple's love for elaborate photoshoots commemorating their love continued with their pregnancy announcement! Many of their Bachelor Nation friends were on hand to celebrate the news, including Thomas Jacobs, who is due to become a daddy any day now with fiancée Becca Kufrin!

The pair also shared an ultrasound.

"our biggest dream came true ?, they captured the three photos.

The last photo in the set shows Joy's hand laying on her baby bump, and features a close-up of her engagement sparkler! Viall's hands are seen cradling her stomach.

The daddy-to-be revealed his excitement for fatherhood in his Instagram story.

He wrote, "Being a Dad is going to be so cool. Greatest dream come true of my life."

In an additional slide, Viall joked, "Our baby will be so beautiful... and obviously humble." He also tagged the photographer of the shoot.

The kiddo will be the first for both Viall and Joy. The duo have long been open about sharing their love for one another publicly. Not only did he caption one of his Instagram pics with his future wife "genuinely happy" back in 2021, he also joked he was a "family man" in a caption of a pic of the duo with their dog!

If Joy intuition has anything to do with it, spending the rest of her life with, and having the Bachelor Nation alum's child was written in the stars! She told Taylor Lautner and his wife Tay Dome on their podcast, "I knew after that weekend [of their first meeting] I was like, 'I'm going to spend the rest of my life with this man.' And I knew and he didn't," the future Mrs. Viall detailed. "So I was like, 'I'm just going to hang on because he'll come around.' So I asked him several times to date me," Joy revealed.
