Sarah Herron is a mom to twins — but a little earlier than expected!
The Bachelor The alum, 37, announced that she and husband Dylan Brown welcomed their twin girls “a whopping 7.5 weeks early” in an emotional Instagram post on Saturday, July 6, in which she also revealed the girls’ sweet names and shared snaps himself and Brown with the newborns in the hospital.
“World, meet Everette Rae & Colette Rose (Evy & Coco) born July 1, 2024. Twin sisters, our little 32 week women surprised us an incredible 7.5 weeks early 🤍 We are all adjusting to life in intensive care ahead of us long road—undoubtedly full of twists and turns—but the girls are fighters and getting stronger every day—we all are,’ Herron began the post, which was accompanied by a video montage of her and her husband in the NICU with their two girls.
“We are so thankful for our care team and all the continued prayers for our little warriors. Today’s plan: Sleep, breathe and grow! Welcome to the world little one! My heart is completely out of my body for these two miracles,” she concluded her post, adding various hashtags including #preemiemom #preemietwins #preemiebaby #nicumom.”

Pregnant Sarah Herron says it’s okay to experience infertility and ‘hates pregnancy’: ‘It’s really hard’
The cute video that accompanied the post also included tons of close-up shots of the tiny twins, both nestled on mom’s chest and being held by dad.
With “They’re here…” written at the beginning of the clip, the clip was accompanied by Iron and Wine’s “Call It Dreaming” and also showed moments of Herron holding the hand of one of the twins and her shirtless husband at one point as had some face-to-skin time with one of their new babies.
In January, the reality TV star announced she was pregnant by sharing an ultrasound photo on Instagram with the caption: “Today’s appointment went well, babies are growing on the right track! Next appointment in 3 weeks. Babies look so round and cute little Rolly!”

“What’s really crazy that I haven’t talked about yet is that when I went for my first ultrasound, there were actually 3 gestational sacs. Yes, that means baby A tried to separate and become identical twins, but the egg yolk and fetal sex never met. she didn’t develop. SO…that means I had a heart attack for about 15 seconds that there will be triplets,” she wrote.
She showed another close-up of her ultrasound which labeled the twins “Baby A” and “Baby B” and expressed her gratitude for Brown, writing: “He’s in great spirits as always.”
Herron and Brown, who first met in 2017, have spoken openly about their fertility journey, IVF treatment and the tragic death of their son Oliver, who was born at 24 weeks in January 2023. Herron revealed last June that couple decided to move forward with the next step in trying to grow their family after a long journey through in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Since then, Herron has been vocal about her pregnancy experience on her social media channels, expressing that it was difficult to experience infertility and being pregnant.
“Twin pregnancy is hard on the body. It is. Every pregnancy is hard on the body and despite complaining or posting Reels about how hard it is to sleep, I’m loving every minute of my pregnancy,” the mom-to-be clarified on Instagram in June.
“I totally understand that this is all a temporary experience and the mood is still good. Although I’m pretty sure I have a cracked rib right now. That’s just part of it. And it’s also okay if you’re someone who’s experienced infertility and hated pregnancy, just that I mean,” she continued.
