Megan Walerius Reveals Baby Brooks, Father in Audience

At the reunion for Netflix’s Love Is Blind season 9, Megan Walerius revealed she had given birth to a baby boy named Brooks about two-and-a-half months earlier. She said the father is her partner Paul, who was in the reunion audience, and that they met through a mutual friend three months after filming wrapped and became pregnant three months into dating. Megan — who previously questioned whether she was cut out for motherhood and broke up with fellow contestant Jordan Keltner over lifestyle and parenting differences — said becoming a mom has increased her empathy and affirmed that she was meant to parent. Most castmates reacted with shock; Jordan said someone had DM’d him about the pregnancy and that Megan had been transparent, and at least one castmate already knew. The revelation, following viral photos of Megan with a newborn shortly before the special aired, is the first Love Is Blind reunion to debut a baby and adds to season 9’s tumultuous arc.
