“I was very excited to find out I was pregnant. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be possible since I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was younger,” says Role, who has stayed friendly with her ex-husband Neil Bowlus since they split on season three of Lifetime’s hit show.

“We both really want a little boy, but we wouldn’t be disappointed to have a little girl!” she says. “All that really matters is that the baby is happy and healthy.”

Just a week into 2018, Role revealed on Instagram Wise had popped the question while the couple were celebrating his birthday in Atlanta.

“Just being able to have this experience and create something so amazing with the man I love is all I ever wanted,” says Role about their growing family. “We are both so overjoyed and cannot wait to see what the future holds.”
