Ali Fedotowsky-Manno on Baby #2 (Due Any Day Now!) and Why She’s ‘So Happy’ Becca Is the Bachelorette

Ali Fedotowsky-Manno could give birth to her second child at any moment. When we spoke last week, right before Mother’s Day, she had just returned from a prenatal doctor’s appointment where the doctor told her the baby was “ready to come out.” But Fedotowsky-Manno needed him to stay put, at least until after her brother-in-law’s wedding.

“I’m like, ‘He can’t come this weekend! I’m a bridesmaid in a wedding!’ And the thing is, if I have to miss it, okay, I have to miss it,” the AliLuvs.com blogger told Brit + Co. “But it’s my husband’s brother. He’s the best man! He can’t miss it, but he also can’t miss the birth of our child. So it’s really hysterical right now. We’re doing everything we can — I’m taking small steps, I’m trying not to move around too much, because we don’t want this baby to come. But as soon as the wedding’s over, I’m going to start bouncing on a pregnancy ball and eating spicy food and doing all of the old wives’ tales.”

Whenever the baby does come, Fedotowsky-Manno will have her hands full, not just with two kids — she and husband Kevin Manno already have a daughter, Molly — but also with the new season of The Bachelorette, which the season 6 alum plans to watch and write about in her blog. Scroll down for her thoughts on season 14 star Becca Kufrin, how she’s preparing for baby number two, and the reality show she wants to do next.

Brit + Co: You’ve been busy! Are you ready for the baby?

Ali Fedotowsky-Manno: We are trying to get there! We just moved into a house three months ago, and we knew we wanted to redesign the whole house — get new furniture and all that stuff — but we also knew we had a baby coming. So we were going to start with the nursery, but I was like, ‘That’s not even the most important thing when you have a baby.’ I think the most important thing that you have to get when you have a baby is a washer and dryer, because you’re going to be doing so much laundry. So, we went ahead and did a bunch of research and ended up getting the Maytag front-load washer and dryer, because it has all of these incredible features that are so important for a new mom. Any new parent knows you do a thousand loads of laundry when you have a newborn. I’m going to be doing baby clothes, Molly’s clothes, Kevin’s clothes, my clothes, and whatever Owen, our dog, gets dirty, which is a lot of things these days. So that was the very first thing we bought when we moved into our new house.

And then after that, we did the nursery. The nursery was the first room that we finished in the house. And luckily, that’s totally done. But the thing is, when the baby comes home, the baby stays in our room for the first six months. So it’s like, okay, it’s done, but the baby’s not even going to go in there.

Kevin also installed a car seat in my car a couple of days ago, so now I have a toddler car seat and a newborn car seat, and there’s no other room in my car. Basically, one person can sit in the front with me and that’s it.

So life is about to change a lot, for sure. Mentally, do I feel ready? Yes and no. It’s so funny — at my prenatal appointment that Kevin and I were just at, I said to him, “When I was 37-and-a-half weeks pregnant with Molly, I remember going to the doctor and being like, ‘Oh, doctor, I’m in so much pain. Get this baby out.’ And now that I’m a mom and I’m so much tougher, I’m like, ‘Hey, doctor, I’m cool. He can stay in. We’re good!'” I’m so much stronger mentally and physically this time. It’s just funny how you handle it differently.

B+C: Molly is still so young. Does she have any idea what’s going on?

AFM: She kisses my belly goodnight every single night. Like, we’ll say, “Okay, give mommy a kiss,” and she’ll kiss me. “Give Owen a kiss,” and she kisses Owen. “Okay, give baby brother a kiss,” and she’ll kiss my belly. But I don’t think there’s any way possible that she could understand that he is coming out and is going to be a part of our lives forever. But she’s so loving and she’s so sweet. I just think she’s going to be the best big sister.

B+C: You’ll obviously have your hands full with the baby, but there’s a new season of The Bachelorette coming up. Do you plan to blog about it?

AFM: Oh, if I was in the hospital, going into labor when the season premiered, I would be blogging about it. Like, I’d be watching it and blogging in between contractions. That’s how dedicated I am to my Bachelorette blog. But yeah, I’m definitely going to be watching, I’m definitely going to be blogging. I love the show, and I love sharing little insider info with my followers about what really goes on behind the scenes. And I just think Becca’s so cool. I think, in general, when they cast for The Bachelorette, they try to pick girls that are down-to-earth, cool girls. And I love every girl that’s ever been the Bachelorette. But Becca is like a whole other level of down-to-earth. I’m really excited to watch her.

B+C: Same! Especially after all the drama with Arie last season.

AFM: You feel for her so much! We watched this guy totally break her heart. And like, every season we watch somebody break somebody’s heart. But it’s so different because they were engaged. They actually spent time together off camera.

I would say, when you get engaged to someone on the show, you don’t know them. You’ve only known them for 72 hours, pretty much, because that’s the amount of time you’ve spent with the person you get engaged to. It’s kind of insane when you really think about it. But she got to know him! They spent couple’s weekends behind the scenes. For him to say, “You know what, I’ve gotten to know you and I want the other girl,” that’s just heartbreaking. So I’m so happy she’s the Bachelorette so she can have her moment.

B+C: Becca has already filmed most, if not all, of her season, but what advice would you give her and any future Bachelorettes?

AFM: Look out for who you’re immediately attracted to and who you immediately like, and then ignore them. Know who you like right off the bat — because you will, she’ll know right away — but once she figures that out, she needs to put them on the back-burner, because they’re going to be there the following week, they’re going to be there two weeks later. Instead, [she should] really focus on the guys that maybe she didn’t have a huge initial attraction to but she’s intrigued by. Because I didn’t do that — my very first night, I was like, “I like that guy and I like that guy,” and I never even gave another guy a chance. And I really regret that. I feel like I could have gotten to know some of the guys so much better, and maybe I sent somebody home the first week or two that I shouldn’t have. So that would be my advice to her on night one. Figure out who you like and then ignore them for a couple of weeks.

B+C: If you could be on any other reality show, what would it be?

AFM: Ooh, man. Is Chopped a reality show? I’m so obsessed with Chopped. Kevin and I pretend when we’re cooking in the kitchen that we’re on Chopped. We’ll be like, “All right, guys, 3, 2, 1, hands up!” I love just grabbing random ingredients out of my kitchen cupboard and trying to make something. I would love to be on that show. That’s my next goal in life, to figure out how to get on Chopped.

Cozy TV fans rejoice! Not only is Sullivan's Crossing finally back, and Sweet Magnolias season 4 is on its way, but we finally got the first look at Virgin River season 6. Not only are we prepping for Mel and Jack's wedding, but we'll also get a glimpse into Mel's father's past — and Virgin River in the '70s. This promises to be the most intriguing season yet. Here's when you can watch new episodes!

Is there a new season of Virgin River in 2024?

What is Virgin River season 6 about?

Netflix

Virgin River Season 6 Plot

Mel and Jack are finally tying the knot and it's made spring in Virgin River even more beautiful than it already was. But as they get closer to their wedding ceremony, secrets and love triangles (not to mention the usual wedding drama) mean tensions are rising. And when Mel's father's past comes to light, we see a whole new side of Virgin River we've never seen before: the 1970s.

I'm so used to seeing Virgin River in the 21st Century (and all the sweaters, skinny jeans, and loose waves that come with it), and I'm very interested to see what it looks like in the '70s. Bring on the bell bottoms!

Who's in the cast of Virgin River?

Netflix

Virgin River Season 6 Cast

The cast of Virgin River season 6 includes Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, Tim Matheson, Annette O’Toole, Colin Lawrence, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Zibby Allen, Sarah Dugdale, Marco Grazzini, Kai Bradbury, Kandyse McClure, and Mark Ghanime.

Who is Mel's biological father?

Netflix

During the final episode of Virgin River season 5, Mel learns that her biological father is a man named Everett. Despite denying it at first, Everett confesses that he is her father and he has something important he has to share with her. But what exactly?

“As soon as we figure it out, we’re going to let you know,” writer and producer Richard Keith told Tudum in 2022.

What happened at the end of Virgin River season 5?

Netflix

The Virgin River Season 5 Ending, Explained

Virgin River season 5 was an emotional one, and the first part, which dropped September 7, 2023, culminated in a major wildfire tearing through town and Mel suffering a miscarriage while helping her neighbors. But it's not stopping Mel and Jack from settling into Virgin River for good, and building a home where Lilly's farm once stood.

In the final two episodes of Virgin River season 5, which dropped November 30, 2023, Mel and Jack set off to find Mel's dad who turns out to be Everett, the very man who claimed he wasn't her father. Meanwhile, Jack's own parents are fighting, Lizzie clashes with their mom when she finally reveals she's pregnant, Lark is secretly working with Jimmy (Calvin's second-in-command), and Charmaine ends up giving birth to her twins. Whew!

We'll have to wait for December to see what Virgin River season 6 has cooked up for us.

There is something about baking that's so calming — which is why so many people tend to hone in and craft the skill so often. Well, that, and the fact that you typically get a reward in the form of a delicious sweet treat at the end, as a result of your hard work. And one of the most satisfying treats to bake? Cupcakes.

Cupcakes are one of the most classic desserts, simply because they’re pretty easy to make, super versatile, and mouth-watering nearly every time (boxed mix or not!). When you make a lot of cupcakes though, either for celebrations or as a hobby, you tend to learn the tips in tricks — and these can really take your cupcakes to the next level. I've picked up that you should always bring your ingredients to room temperature, not over-mix everything, and to definitely use vanilla bean paste instead of vanilla extract. If you haven’t committed to that last baking tip yet, then you’re about to upgrade your cupcakes in a whole new and tasty way.

What Is Vanilla Bean Paste?

Kaboompics.com

Vanilla bean paste is essentially a more concentrated version of vanilla. Because it’s a paste, it has a thicker consistency than vanilla extract, which is a liquid. When you use vanilla bean paste you can see specks of a dark color — those are vanilla bean seeds. This allows for a more intense flavor of vanilla in your baked goods.

Pure vanilla extract is made from soaked vanilla beans in water and ethyl alcohol (vanilla bean paste may have traces of vanilla extract, but you can opt for alcohol-free ones — like the one Trader Joe’s carries!). This lends to a milder flavor, usually found in simple cakes, cupcakes, cookies and more. If you do go this route, make sure to opt for pure vanilla extract for optimal flavor and less ingredients mixed within it.

Why You Should Use Vanilla Bean Paste In Cupcakes

Los Muertos Crew

Vanilla acts as an enhancer in many baker kitchens because it allows for floral notes and a sweet aroma to come through the dessert. Due to the fact that vanilla bean paste has a more concentrated flavor, it offers your baked goods a much more robust taste — exactly what you want for your desserts! Instead of a muted flavor, you're sure to get better, bolder cupcakes with this trick!

Christina Polupanova

Trust us, it’s a game changer — especially for vanilla cupcakes, which don’t rely on many other ingredients for flavor other than, well, vanilla. Cake loafs, cheesecakes, cookies, and cinnamon rolls are all examples of recipes that would benefit from using the paste instead. Vanilla bean paste can easily be substituted in any baked good that calls for vanilla extract with a one to one ratio.

Amazon

Despite it not being used as frequently in recipes as vanilla extract is, vanilla bean paste is not hard to track down. You can easily find it in your local grocery store or certain online retailers (and, in some cases, it’s actually more affordable than the vanilla extract version). When you switch to vanilla bean paste you’ll never go back — and neither will your friends, because they will never stop asking you to bake them something.
