How many kids does Jesse Palmer have? Everything about former NFL QB's family

Jesse Palmer, a broadcaster and host of "The Bachelor," and his spouse, Emely Fardo, welcomed their first child together in January 2024.

The couple first met in 2017 at a boxing class and were married in 2020. On Jan. 10, they shared a family picture of themselves and their new baby girl, Ella Reine, on Instagram. That is the only child the well-known show host has.

Jesse Palmer and Emely shared a photo of themselves grinning together, with Emely holding their sleeping newborn to her chest, to commemorate Ella's first public appearance.

“She’s finally here, ELLA REINE PALMER. Our hearts are overflowing with love and gratitude,” was the message used as a caption on the Instagram post.

Emely Fardo and Jesse Palmer began dating in 2017 and got engaged in July 2019. They discreetly married in Connecticut in June 2020, following the cancellation of their original plan to wed in Provence, France, because of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Fardo and Palmer held a second wedding, as planned, at the opulent Chateau De La Gaude in Provence, France, in July 2022.

Palmer started hosting The Bachelor during Season 26 in 2021 and has since hosted The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise and The Golden Bachelor, among other spin-off series.
