Love Is Blind’s Bliss Poureetezadi-Goytowski and Zack Goytowski have some exciting news to share as 2023 comes to a close: the couple is expecting their first child.
It has been officially confirmed by People that the pair, who met and were married during the fourth season of the blockbuster show on Netflix, are expecting their first child together. The couple who were married on Love Is Blind have made the first public statement that they are expecting a child as a result of this revelation.
Bliss tells PEOPLE that the arrival of their first child in the spring of 2024 will be “a little bit nerve-racking,” but that she believes it will also be “such a beautiful thing.” “Babies are miracles and blessings, and I think that we’ve been so open to sharing our journey and our relationship with the world, and this is the next big beautiful thing in our lives,” the mother said. I’m incredibly happy, and I want that other people may also find happiness as a result of this. It has certainly provided us a great deal of happiness.
Bliss found out that she was pregnant a few months ago, but according to the couple, the method in which she broke the news did not quite go according to plan.
“This was in our plans. We had been making a concerted effort, but to be honest, it came as quite a shock,” Bliss reveals. “I had felt a bit nauseated… and I took the test by myself because I wanted to surprise Zack once it was [confirmed].” “I had felt like I was about to throw up. It came as a complete surprise to me when I discovered it early in the morning, when Zack was still asleep. It made me wonder whether or not that statement was really positive. What exactly is going on here? It was without a doubt, without a doubt, one of the most strange events of my life.
“I was actually leaving for a trip and so I needed to tell Zack that day,” she says further. “I had wanted to do this huge event and make this big surprise out of it and get all this things that screamed ‘Daddy,’ but I didn’t have time to do any of that. I apologize for that. So I went out and purchased a cake and wrote ‘I Love You Dad’ on it. It was a really touching moment, and at first he didn’t understand what was going on.
Zack, on the other hand, had a somewhat different recollection of the event. It just so happened that Bliss learned she was expecting on the same day that her mother was celebrating her birthday.
“She told me her mother sent us a cake for her birthday,” according to Zack. “Are you saying that you agree with me? In all honesty, she is capable of doing anything like that… Therefore, Bliss tells me to “Open up the cake,” and when I do, I find a message that reads “I Love You, Dad.” And I’m sitting here like, ‘What? Why does your mother refer to me in such a manner?'”
Bliss claims that she and Zack experienced “a really special moment” when he got beyond his first uncertainty and put the pieces together.
She reflects, “There were tears that came to his eyes and it was a very happy moment,” while Zack chimes in, “I was incredibly happy.” We both had a strong desire for this, and the fact that it was finally able to come true made us both feel quite fortunate.
Since that day, Bliss has been thinking that she is “grateful that my body is able to grow a baby,” despite the fact that she has been experiencing some morning sickness and exhaustion, and that she has been “craving a lot of green, crisp vegetables, [and] citrus.”
Zack, on the other hand, has “been very, very, very sweet and very loving” when it comes to assisting her in managing the symptoms of her pregnancy. For example, he stopped eating garlic when she developed a “aversion” to it and made numerous excursions to Whole Foods to stock up on grapefruits for her. Bliss says of her husband, “It’s been wonderful to go through this together, and to really have his support,” during their time of trial.
As for how she is now seeing things, what can we say? Bliss has said that she is “embracing” each and every second of her pregnancy.
She elaborates, “Right now, I am feeling really good and happy.” “It is without a doubt really bizarre and strange. The nine months of pregnancy are a roller coaster ride of emotions and physical changes, but we couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome.
The expecting parents have said that they want to find out the gender of their child within the next six months, even though they do not yet know the sex of their unborn child. “We’re going to do a little gender reveal in the next couple of months,” according to Bliss. “So we’re excited to find out.”
“I think we both eventually want a boy and a girl — that’d be wonderful to have both,” she says further. “But the top priority is just having a healthy baby and whatever gender it is, it will be very loved.”
Bliss also mentions that she is taking a laid-back approach to the labor and delivery process. “In my opinion, there is no plan in place. She adds, “I think I’m going to have to see how I feel in the moment and just kind of go with that.” “I think I’m going to have to see how I feel in the moment and go with that.” “I’m really trying to go into this with no expectations, except that I want it to be as peaceful and calm as it can be.”
While they wait for the birth of their child, the couple is passing the time by fantasizing about the moment when they will get to finally see their “beautiful blessing” for the very first time.
“I think for me, I’m excited to see them learn and explore the world,” according to Bliss. “And hopefully, if we do things the right way, to see what they can contribute and how they can make the world a better place for themselves and everyone else.” I believe it to be one of the most significant contributions we as humans are capable of making, and I fervently want that for our kid. And I simply can’t wait to give it love and kiss its chubby cheeks and its little toes when it finally arrives. And I can’t wait to see it navigate the complexities of love, life, and everything else.”
Zack further elaborates, saying, “I think what I really hope most for our child is just that they live a happy life and that they bring happiness and joy into the world.” And, to paraphrase what Bliss stated, we can bring them up to become someone who contributes to making the world a better place.
“No matter what we do as parents, we’re never going to do everything right,” according to him. “I’m going to make tons of mistakes … but I think the only thing that really matters is that I make our child know that I love them and that I believe that they can do whatever they set their mind to.”
The future parents are also aware that their child will have the opportunity to watch their parents’ beginnings on a reality program, which is something that not all children will have the chance to do as they get older. This is something that the future parents are excited about for their child.
That their kid may travel back in time and see the beginnings of their love story is something that Zack and Bliss consider to be “beautiful,” despite the fact that others may find it humiliating.
We do speak about the fact that our kid will one day have to tell their friends the tale of how their parents met, and that they will most certainly have a very fascinating narrative to share with their friends. When asked about the possibility of letting their kid see Love Is Blind at some point in the future, Bliss said, “I think it’s really beautiful that they’ll be able to see their beginnings.” “And yes, our story wasn’t a straight line, but I think that’s also important for them to know that sometimes things aren’t a straight line and people make mistakes and you can be redeemed and you can correct them.”
“And life is a journey, and it’s not always perfect,” she adds after the pause. “Therefore, I believe that it is a wonderful experience for our kid to one day see when they are old enough to do so. There are certain aspects of the story that, in my opinion, are not suitable for youngsters. However, I don’t believe that we will be trying to keep this information from them in any way. It’s quite unlikely that we could, even if we really wanted to!
What about the possibility that their kid may one day wish to appear on Love Is Blind?
“I would actually encourage them if they wanted to do that, to do it,” according to Zack. “And I believe the reason for that is because you simply never know what is going to happen, and I would urge my kid to not always play it safe. must face your fears and engage in activities that you normally would avoid since life is so brief. There is just a certain amount of time that we have here on earth, therefore pursue your goals.
The first through fifth seasons of Love Is Blind are now available to view on Netflix.
