Big Brother’s Nicole Franzel Slams Body-Shamers After Pregnancy Reveal

Big Brother winner Nicole Franzel clapped back at the body-shaming comments she received online before revealing she is pregnant with twins.

“Me greeting the trolls that body shamed me before revealing my twin pregnancy,” Franzel, 33, wrote alongside a Thursday, October 30, TikTok video.

Franzel started off the clip with a close-up to the camera. She wore a cozy sweater and her go-to top knot updo. The clip featured the viral soundbite from Teen Mom that featured Kailyn Lowry and Jo Rivera.

“It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?” Franzel lip-synched. “You don’t deserve to be outside enjoying the sun.”

As the clip rolled, Franzel stepped back to show off her baby bump.

“You should be in a cave,” the audio concluded.

Fans flocked to the comments section to sympathize with Franzel and gush over her exciting news.

“That makes me so sad. There’s nothing more beautiful than a momma growing her babies in her belly. 💙🩷,” one user wrote, while another replied, “You look beautiful Nicole. You are glowing.”

Franzel is best known for competing on Big Brother seasons 16 and 18. In her second time playing, she was crowned the winner. During Big Brother 18, she also met her now-husband, Victor Arroyo.

While Franzel and Arroyo didn’t have a showmance during the game, their relationship blossomed outside the house. The pair formed a close friendship before their connection turned romantic. Arroyo and Franzel briefly returned to the Big Brother house during season 20 for the police officer’s romantic proposal.

Franzel and Arroyo tied the knot in March 2021. The pair welcomed their son, Arrow, now 4, four months later.

In August, Franzel and Arroyo announced that their family is expanding.

“We are PREGNANT 🥹!! Praise Jesus!! A HUGE thank you to those who have been praying alongside us for this miracle,” Franzel wrote via Instagram alongside a photo of herself sitting on a picnic blanket with Arroyo and Arrow. “3 years in waiting and God said it’s time 🥰🤍 our little family is growing!!”

Last month, Franzel and Arroyo revealed they are expecting twins.

“We were and are ecstatic. What a beautiful gift from God! I honestly felt so sick the first trimester and started showing around the 8-week mark, which, with my first pregnancy, I didn’t show until around 20 weeks,” Franzel told People. “I joked there must be two babies in there, and when there really was, I was happy-shocked. I’ve always wanted to have twins, and they run in my family!”

Arroyo added, “We’ve been trying to conceive for some time now, so this felt like a long-awaited gift.”

Earlier this year, Franzel and Arroyo exclusively spoke to Us Weekly, giving a glimpse into their lives in Michigan, which is where Franzel grew up.

“We’re still in the same town where I always lived. I’m super close to my family,” she told Us. “I love the seasons. I love the country life. I love rural life. We did buy a house with 10 acres, and we literally have a rescue farm in our backyard, and we just rescued a dog.”
