Super Bowl bound! Sydney Warner<\/strong> (n\u00e9e Hightower), who was a contestant on The Bachelor<\/em><\/a> in 2020, celebrated her husband, Fred Warner\u2019s<\/strong>, NFC Championship win with a congratulatory Instagram<\/a> post on Monday, January 29.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re headed to the SUPER BOWL!\u201d the pregnant reality star, 28, gushed. \u201cMaking memories this year that will last a lifetime. Our son will see these photos one day and know he was in my belly when daddy won the NFC Championship. We are blessed. So proud of you.\u201d<\/p>\n Fred, 27, is a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers. They advanced to the Super Bowl after beating the Detroit Lions on Sunday, January 28. Sydney went on the field to celebrate with her husband after the game, putting her baby bump on display as they excitedly posed for photos.<\/p>\n The Alabama native dated Peter Weber<\/strong> on season 24 of The Bachelor<\/em> and was eliminated during week six. She met her now-husband in February 2020, shortly after the episode when she was sent home aired on television. Fred slid into her DMs to start the relationship.<\/p>\n \u201c[Fred] was single and had just lost the Super Bowl, so he was feeling down,\u201d Sydney shared in 2022. \u201cHe was hanging out at his house and not leaving his room much. He would watch shows, and while he didn\u2019t watch much of The Bachelor<\/em>, his family did. His brother\u2019s wife FaceTimed him and told him there was a girl on The Bachelor<\/em> that was his type and his vibe. He thought she was being ridiculous but he reached out. He waited until I was sent home, and around two weeks later, he found me on Instagram and shot his shot.\u201d<\/p>\n Although things didn\u2019t work out for Sydney on the ABC show, she looks back at her time on The Bachelor<\/em> fondly because of what it led her to today. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t as great as I wanted in the moment,\u201d she admitted. \u201cBut looking back, I would never have been where I am in life and I wouldn\u2019t have found the man I\u2019m going to spend the rest of my life with if I hadn\u2019t been on The Bachelor<\/em>. It\u2019s just crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n Sydney and Fred got engaged in 2021 and tied the knot in June 2022. She announced that she was pregnant with baby No. 1 in October 2023. The pair\u2019s little boy is due in March.<\/p>\n However, before he arrives, they\u2019ll have to get through the Super Bowl! Fred and the 49ers will be playing the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas on February 11. It will be a rematch of the big game from 2020, which the 49ers lost.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
