It’s a boy! Delight for The Bachelor’s Olena Khamula after the star hosted a gender reveal baby shower with her husband Rodney Maroun
She’s the Ukrainian-born beauty who left Richie Strahan spellbound on The Bachelor in 2016.
And on Sunday, Olena Khamula, 27, and her husband Rodney Maroun learned the gender of their child at a soiree with their nearest and dearest.
Sharing a video to her Instagram stories, the makeup artist revealed she was having a baby boy, after blue confetti fell from a popped balloon.

In the footage, Olena and her husband are seen holding a knife before they popped an oversized black balloon which revealed the gender of their unborn baby.
After the reveal, the couple hugged it out while their guests cheered.
It comes just days after the reality star showed off her new look in an Instagram post, posing in a chic knit sweater and wearing minimal makeup.

Bachelor fans will remember Olena for her sometimes hostile conversations with leading man Richie towards the end of the fourth season.
During hometown week, she confronted the rope-access technician about whether he was ready for a long-distance relationship.
At one stage, she lost her temper and snapped: ‘You want to live in a fairy tale but this is the real s***!’

When she was sent packing at the subsequent rose ceremony, Olena looked like she hardly cared as she offered Richie a stilted, formal farewell.
Olena began dating property developer Rodney Maroun shortly after filming The Bachelor. They married in December 2019.
Richie ended up splitting with his winning contestant, Alex Nation, and is now in a relationship with Perth native Jenayah Thompson.
