Francesca Farago & Jesse Sullivan Are Expecting Twins?! Couple Admits a Baby Bombshell (Exclusive)

Fifteen weeks into her pregnancy, reality TV alum Francesca Farago is learning it really does take a village to raise a child. Or children, in the case of her and fiancé Jesse Sullivan's twins.

Her rapidly expanding tribe, of course, includes her ultra-supportive husband-to-be, his 15-year-old child Arlo,the team at the fertility clinic that oversaw their IVF process and the roughly six OB-GYNs they've consulted since.

Plus one particularlyastute Internet diagnostician.

While the Too Hot to Handle alum's Instagram and TikTok DMs have been filled with the usual variety of trolls, "there's something wrong with my uterus and my cervix, and I would not have learned that if it wasn't for Snapchat," she revealed in an exclusive interview with E! News. "Someone messaged me and said, 'Hey, I lost my twins at 21 weeks. You should go get your cervix checked.'"

Theadvice admittedly sent Francesca into a bit of a spiral.

So put that in social media's plus column.

Now that she's in her second trimester, Francescaplans to get acervical cerclage—temporary stitches that can help the cervix hold a pregnancy in the uterus. Though that hasn't fully assuaged the 30-year-old's pregnancy-related nerves.

"I hear every day, honestly, horror stories from other mothers of things that went wrong and it does put a lot of fear in me," she explained. "And I'm already a fearful person in regards to the pregnancy, because of how hard it was to get to this point."

Even more so with the idea of littlePeaches and Garfinkle—the pet names she and Jesse have adopted for their future offspring—actually wearing the teeny tiny duds.

"WhenI see them in my hands, I can't believe we'regoing to have an actual child in this onesie in the fall," said Francesca. "It makes me so happy."

Though, to be clear: PeachesandGarfinkle are not the monikersshe and Jesse, 34, landed on after rejecting the likes of Heart, Lovely, Afternoon and Baby. While she revealed they "pretty much" locked intheir winners, going back to the same picksthey've been bandying about for the past two years, "I'm just scared to use their name names as of right now."

While the duo's still-under-construction home is bursting with onesies, Mom's wardrobe is still a work in progress.

"I've been living in the same four outfits,"Francescaadmitted, "because either my clothes don't fit or it's so uncomfortable. And I think you're already so uncomfortable, just being alive, that you really need your clothes to be comfortable. So maybe I'll launch some maternity bodysuits or sweatpants and stuff like that in the future, because I will be having more babies."

A maternity line for hersustainable, ecologically-sensitive swimwear brand Farago the Label is also in the works. But it means finding another manufacturer as her current "small, vegan, cruelty-free, ethical" partner requires about a year to launch new designs. "The babies will be, like, oneby the time the bikinis are launched," lamented Francesca. Though, for now, she's just relying on the adjustable nature of her go-to suits.

And she knows a willingness to be flexible is a requirement for her new gig as a mom of three.

Eager to add to her and Jesse's brood, she said she's most excited about "just holding them. Literally touching their bodies and looking at their little feet and little hands and seeing what eye color they have and if their hair is curly or straight. It's mind-blowing to me."
