Jan. 06--Former "The Bachelorette" star Ali Fedotowsky and fianc頋evin Manno, a former host on Chicago station WKQX-FM, are expecting their first child together, Us Weekly reports.
"We are so thrilled that we are going to be parents! We've been pretty vocal about our desire to start a family as soon as possible and feel incredibly lucky to be able to share that we have a little one on the way!" Fedotowsky and Manno said in a statement to the magazine.
"You see, last year, when we started planning our wedding, we couldn't find any good ring bearers or flower girls, so we decided to make our own. Ha! Kidding. But really, we are so ready to be parents and already love our little one more than we could have possibly imagined."
Fedotowsky, the star of the sixth season of "The Bachelorette" and a former "E! News" correspondent, announced her engagement to Manno in September.
She got engaged to Roberto Martinez in "The Bachelorette" finale in 2010. The couple announced their split in 2011 and Fedotowsky, 31, began dating Manno in 2013.
Manno, an alumnus of North Central College in Naperville, left WKQX (formerly Q101) in 2010 to work on the MTV show "The Seven." He also hosted Lifetime's "Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition."
