Hannah Ann Sluss pulled out all the stops to tell her Bachelor Nation bestie, Victoria Fuller, that she is expecting her first baby.
“The very sweet and private moment when Hannah told me she’s pregnant,” Fuller, 31, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, June 22, sharing throwback footage of a moment she got in Sluss’ car and learned the news.
After Fuller hopped in the vehicle, 29-year-old Sluss apologized for running late.
“I’m so sorry I’m late,” Sluss said. “I got you this. That’s why I’m 45 minutes late ‘cause I’ve been sick.”
Sluss presented Fuller with a bottle of white wine with a label that read, “Only the best friends get promoted to Auntie. Baby Funk.”
Fuller immediately burst into tears before pulling her pregnant friend in for a hug.
“I had this whole thing to give it to you and all this stuff,” Sluss added. “I woke up, and like, [felt sick]. I was in bed with a pounding headache this morning, and I was like, ‘Jake [Funk], can you go get the wine for Victoria?’ I don’t know, it’s probably the cheapest wine.”
Fuller reassured Sluss, noting that she “doesn’t care” how much Sluss and husband Funk, 27, paid for the bottle.
“I don’t care about the wine,” she quipped. “I love you. How far along are you?”
Sluss pointed out that she was “12 weeks.” (She told People on Sunday that she is now in her second trimester and “feeling good.”)
In a follow-up post on her Instagram Stories, Fuller gushed over her appreciation for Sluss.
“My girl knows how much I love my Pinot Grigio,” Fuller wrote. “I thought she was just bringing me a gift.”
Fuller and Sluss met on Peter Weber’s season 24 of The Bachelor, which aired in 2020. After they both left single, Sluss started dating NFL star Funk.
“I wanted to wait to share [our relationship] with everyone because it was our decision,” Sluss exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2022. “We’re very private and, you know, that just seems to be the best for us right now. With my past, things have been public and nothing really necessarily good has come from it, in my opinion. And so keeping things private and just having our own lives outside of social media [makes] it more of a true, meaningful relationship for us.”

Funk proposed in January 2023 after less than two years together. The couple tied the knot in June 2024, one year before revealing Sluss’ pregnancy.
“Each day growing you is a blessing,” Sluss wrote via Instagram earlier on Sunday. “God’s plan is more perfect than we ever imagined. We know God is in this story, and we can’t wait to meet you.”
