She was joined by Jesse, who placed a protective hand on her stomach as they kissed on the red carpet.

Jesse donned trendy black pants with a matching tank top and bold silver necklaces.

Francesca announced her first pregnancy on Sunday after an “altered” IVF journey with her fiancé Jesse.

She broke the news via social media on International Transgender Day of Visibility in honor of soon-to-be father Jesse, 34, whose reassigned gender was confirmed in 2019.

“We wanted to take advantage of this special day to celebrate this incredible milestone with all of you,” Francesca, who has six million followers on Instagram, wrote in a joint post.

“We’ve been with you through defeat, so we couldn’t wait to take you with us to victory,” he gushed.

‘I’m still newly pregnant and there’s so much more to come, but we’re so excited to grow our family with Arlo as the coolest big brother!’ AHHHH I’M PREGNANT!’

In the accompanying TikTok video, Jesse hinted at gender using My Best Friend Jacob’s 2018 song To Our Daughter (Lullaby), two baby emojis meaning twins, and what appeared to be two embryos.

The intended parents selected a sperm donor together before Sullivan had nine eggs retrieved last August (generating five embryos) and Farago had 18 eggs retrieved last September (generating eight embryos).

It is still unclear which embryo from either parent was transferred into the Canadian reality star’s uterus on March 19 at the Tree of Life Center in Los Angeles under the direction of fertility specialist Dr. Vuk Jovanovic.

But Jesse proudly announced that he had “finally gotten her pregnant” in the comments of his post, which received congratulations from pop star Demi Lovato and Selling Sunset’s Chrishell Stause.

Sullivan was 18 when she mothered 15-year-old Arlo Bear Sullivan (who uses they/them pronouns) after having unprotected sex with a teenager in 2006, and “can’t wait to see Arlo be a brother” .

“When I felt guilty as a trans man because (Francesca) had to go through this (pregnancy) process, she always assured me that she wouldn’t have it any other way,” the heavily tattooed TikToker said on March 19.

“This is just the beginning for our family.”

They wrote in a joint post: “I’m still newly pregnant and there’s so much more to come, but we’re so excited to grow our family with Arlo as the coolest big brother!”

Jesse previously stated in their February 1 YouTube vlog that they plan to raise their children according to the gender assigned by their sex at birth “and then give them the space, love, and freedom to discover if it’s different later.”

“The way I raised Arlo was like blank parenting, where I never imposed gender norms on them,” Sullivan explained.

‘From a young age I used them and obviously considered them feminine and then when they grew up and discovered that within themselves they told me one day: “I want to go through them and that was it and they never looked back.”

Jesse and Farago, who got engaged on April 28, originally met over Zoom in June 2021 during their Pride Month TikTok live event.

On Valentine’s Day, the founder of Farago the Label wrote that they were “postponing the wedding until our first baby or babies.”

Sullivan was previously married to model Teela Sullivan, while Francesca is said to have dated Jef Holm, Harry Jowsey, Casey Boonstra, Kelechi Dyke, Haley Cureton, Kori Sampson, Branden Condy and Tana Mongeau.

Farago first found fame competing on the Netflix dating shows Too Hot to Handle (2020), followed by Love Is Blind (2021) and Perfect Match (2023).

HOW DOES IVF WORK?

In vitro fertilization, known as IVF, is a medical procedure in which a woman has an already fertilized egg inserted into her uterus to become pregnant.

It is used when couples cannot conceive naturally and a sperm and egg are removed from their bodies and combined in a laboratory before the embryo is inserted into the woman.

Once the embryo is in the uterus, the pregnancy should continue normally.

The procedure can be performed using eggs and sperm from a partner or donors.

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommend that IVF be offered on the NHS to women under 43 who have been trying to conceive through regular unprotected sex for two years.

People can also pay for IVF privately, which costs an average of £3,348 for a single cycle, according to figures published in January 2018, and there is no guarantee of success.

The NHS says success rates for women under 35 are around 29 per cent, with the chances of a successful cycle reducing as they age.

It is believed that around eight million babies have been born thanks to IVF since the first case, British woman Louise Brown, was born in 1978.

Opportunities for success

The success rate of IVF depends on the age of the woman undergoing treatment, as well as the cause of infertility (if known).

Younger women are more likely to have a successful pregnancy.

IVF is generally not recommended for women over 42 because the chances of a successful pregnancy are thought to be too low.

Between 2014 and 2016 the percentage of IVF treatments that resulted in a live birth was:

29 percent for women under 35 years old

23 percent for women ages 35 to 37

15 percent for women ages 38 to 39

9 percent for women ages 40 to 42

3 percent for women ages 43 to 44

2 percent for women over 44 years old
