Sydney Warner (née Hightower) immediately caught Fred Warner's eye after her early elimination The Bachelor.
“He actually sent me an emoji [because] he didn't think I would respond so he got really nonchalant, but it was sweet,” Sydney – who briefly joined in Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor in 2020 – exclusively told We weekly the meeting with the professional footballer in January 2022.
Fred, who plays linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, popped the question in May 2021. The pair married a year later in June 2022 — with several of her Bachelor Nation friends in attendance.
“I will never be able to put into words the magic of June 25th. The love and support that filled these walls was inescapable,” Sydney wrote via Instagram a month later. “I am still in awe that I get to be this incredible man's wife and love him for the rest of our days. We will cherish these photos and memories endlessly.”
The couple announced Sydney's pregnancy in October 2023. “Baby Warner arrives in March 2024 🤍,” she said via Instagram at the time, alongside a video taken during an ultrasound appointment.
