Giannina GibelliandBlake Horstmannare enjoying some R&R before becoming first-time parents.
The couple says they “feel like royalty” as guests of the resort — beginning with the multiple surprises they were treated to when they arrived at their suite.
“We opened up the door for the cab when we got in and they were just singing with towels and drinks, and I was just like, ‘This is it. This is exactly what I wanted.’ I wanted to feel like a princess,” says Gibelli.
The couple is enjoying their stay in a “fantastic” suite with an ocean-side view, complete with a “little private tub outside and a private pool,” which Horstmann says is “pretty awesome.”
Gibelli says she’s “really grateful” she’s had a smooth pregnancy thus far and can “keep traveling.”
“I’m very blessed. I check in with my doctors, I tell them everything that I’m doing, and we’re good. I feel great. I have energy. I’m not in pain in any way,” she continues. “I have been able to make memories in different places and different countries while being pregnant, and I’ve loved it. I thought I was going to be lethargic or this, and I’m tired, but I’m so happy. I’m so happy that I get to do these things. I haven’t stopped. It hasn’t stopped me.”
The reality star tells PEOPLE she makes sure to keep a few essential items on hand when traveling. “I travel with at least two neck pillows on the plane so that I can use them as lumbar support, or a bed, whatever I need. I have this Elemis lotion that can turn from hot to cold, and it’s gentle enough that it’s pregnancy-safe. And then I bring my little mini Theragun, just because my back and my legs and my feet will just randomly ache.”
Both Gibelli and Horstmann are looking forward to seeing one another become a parent and embark on this new journey together.
“I’m honestly really excited to see her as a mother,” says Horstmann, adding, “I also don’t want to sound too ridiculous, but I want to have a little friend that I can play with all the time.”
“I always say the little one will be sick of playing with me, rather than the other way around,” he laughs.
“It sounds super corny, but it’s this little ball of love. It’s our love child, literally. So I want to see what characteristics they pick up from each. It’s just going to be so much fun,” adds Gibelli.
In January 2022,sources confirmedto PEOPLE that the couple’s romance flourished on the set of the competition seriesAll Star Shore.
Months later, Gibelli opened up about the relationship, tellingE! News, “I’ve never watched theBachelorfranchise or any of that so I didn’t know who he was. He seemed familiar to me and he just flashed his big ol' smile at me and that’s how I met him right on the beach.”
Horstmann was first introduced to audiences as a contestant onBecca Kufrin’sBacheloretteseason. After ending the season as a runner-up to Kufrin’s now-ex-fiancéGarrett Yrigoyen, he caused quite the stir onBachelor in Paradisein 2019 due to his pre-show entanglements withCaelynn Miller-Keyes,Kristina SchulmanandHannah Godwin.
