Love Is Blind’s ‘Sparkle’ Megan Walerius SHOCKS Everyone by CONFIRMING She Welcomed Her First Child Amid Tears, Secret Struggles, and Reunion Chaos That Left Castmates Speechless and Fans Stunned

Megan Walerius, also known as “Sparkle” Megan, is a mom!

The reality star, 35, announced the news during the season 9 Love Is Blind reunion on Wednesday, Oct. 29, while reflecting on her previous doubts about her ability to be a stepmom to then-fiancé Jordan Keltner’s 5-year-old son Luca.

“Today I actually have a little bit of a surprise,” Megan began. “I am a mom now. I had a baby boy 2-and-a-half months ago.”

She called the newborn, named Brooks, “my whole world,” adding, “I now know more than ever I was meant on this earth to be a mom. He’s amazing and our family is very happy.”

Megan’s partner Paul was also in attendance, supporting her from the audience. She explained that they were introduced by a friend three months after she wrapped the Netflix series, and they got pregnant three months into dating.

While all their LIB castmates were just learning the news, Jordan shared that he and Megan spoke prior to the taping.

“I had some disgusting person reach out to me on Instagram pretty much trying to stir the pot, so I just reached out to Megan,” he said. “She was very transparent, which I appreciate. If I would’ve found out right here, right now I think that would have been jarring, so I appreciate the transparency and the honesty. You’re gonna be great parents, and I have no doubt in my mind about that.”

Megan noted that “it was hard” to keep her pregnancy a secret, but she was still able to enjoy it. She even had a baby shower, which she kept phone-free.

“Being cast into the limelight now, I just wanted to have my pregnancy and the start of Brooks’ life for us to have in private,” she said.

Megan’s big announcement followed speculation that she had become a mom when paparazzi captured photos of her with a baby earlier this month. Then, in the hours leading up to the reunion airing, she took to Instagram with a cryptic message.

In the final episode of LIB season 9, Megan ended her relationship with Jordan, who she got engaged to in the pods, days before their wedding was supposed to take place.
