Happy news in the reality TV realm: Bachelorette Jen Schefft is pregnant!

A source close to the former reality star tells E! News that she and hubby Joe Waterman—whom she met off camera—are expecting their second child.

"Jen and her husband Joe are so happy to be expanding their family," the source tells us. "They really can't wait to give their daughter Mae [14 months] a new baby brother or sister."

Another Bachelorette alum, Trista Sutter, tweeted a warm "Congratulations, mama" to her pal. Scheftt thanked Sutter for the well wishes, adding, "We're excited!"

Schefft was selected by Andrew Firestone during season three of The Bachelor. But after her relationship with Firestone ended, she got a second shot at love as The Bachelorette. (She chose Jerry Ferris, who proposed to her in the finale, but she said no.)

Congratulations to Jen and her family!
