Alex, who starred in the 2016 season of The Bachelor candidly continued, "I just didn’t expect the sickness to be this constant, this unrelenting. It has been near impossible for me to work and maintain any sort of productivity."
Alex and husband Carson welcomed their daughter, Pearl in April 2023.
"Pearl 🤍 20•04•23 ~ 8.41am. Her entrance was pure magic and we are all just so in love," Alex wrote on Instagram to announce her daughter's birth.
Alex revealed she was expecting her third child in October 2022 and kept fans up to date on her difficult pregnancy.
Midway through her pregnancy, Alex shared on Instagram that her and Carson's child was “measuring small” and she would be monitored weekly until their child’s arrival.
“Our little babe is measuring small, in the 8th percentile,” she explained alongside a photo of her cradling her bump.
“I will now be cared for under a specialist obstetrician and monitored weekly to make sure this tiny little darling is baking along okay in there...It's been overwhelming and my anxiety hasn’t been kind to me” she continued in the candid post.
“It just feels like one thing after another at the moment. But I continue to practice gratitude for this body, this pregnancy and this tiny but mighty little babe growing inside of me.”
Near the end of her pregnancy, Alex also shared that she was planning a caesarean birth, admitting she felt "incredibly overwhelmed and nervous."
"The birth of my last babe is looking very different to the birth that I have envisioned and fantasised about for the last 34 weeks," she wrote on Instagram.
"I have one last ultrasound next week to see if my placenta has done what it needs to do to give me the final birth that I so badly want. I have however already grieved for that experience and am now sitting in and accepting my new reality, that I will most likely be a belly-birthing Mumma."
"It’ll be different, but it will be just as beautiful as the births of my two boys."
In May 2022, Alex explained that she and Carson had made the "difficult" decision to elope after being forced to cancel her wedding plans in Croatia.
"With so many other things going on and having projects underway that need a lot of our attention, the timing just wasn't right for us to tie the knot this year," Alex said.
"Since making this decision, we have been flirting with the idea of an elopement/very intimate wedding."
The couple announced their engagement in October last year, one month after welcoming their first child together, Maxwell.
