Growing up!
Former Bachelorette Clare Crawley got engaged to Ryan Dawkins in October 2022, shortly after introducing him to Bachelor Nation a month prior.
Early last year, the two officially tied the knot and welcomed a beautiful baby girl named Rowen via surrogate in January 2024.
Now, her daughter is celebrating her first birthday and Clare has taken to Instagram to share how she’s feeling about this milestone.
She posted a sweet video of her singing “Happy Birthday” to Rowen while delivering a celebratory cupcake to her crib with a big “1” candle on top.
Expressing what the past year has been like, Clare wrote, “If you need to reach me, you can find me crying all day! Our baby is ONE!! The days have been long, and the nights have felt even longer at times, all while magically in this moment feeling like it was the blink of an eye.”
The Bachelor Nation star continued her post, sharing more about her daughter and how lucky she and Ryan feel to be her parents.
She said, “We are so beyond blessed to have a daughter with a personality made of pure sunshine and a little spice (that’s my girl!!)”
Clare ended the sweet birthday post by revealing some major milestones Rowen accomplished in the past year, as well as the traits she got from her and Ryan.
“She has the determination of her Dada, crawling at 6 months and walking 2 weeks later,” she stated, “the love of being out in nature like her mama, and a passion for reading every book in sight! Being her Mama is TRULY the greatest gift in life! ❤️”
Fans commented on the video, sharing sweet birthday wishes for Clare’s daughter, including fellow Bachelor Nation star Haley Ferguson Palve, who wrote, “Happy Birthday sweet girl!!!🎉💕🎂”
Clare’s husband, Ryan, also commented, “😭 our baby is 1!”
What a beautiful post! We love seeing Clare as a mom and being able to watch her daughter grow up. Happy first birthday to Rowen!
