Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly‘s adventure-themed baby shower was perfectly fitting for the Big Brother and Amazing Race alums.
The couple, who are expecting their first child together this spring, prepared for the exciting arrival of “#BrenchelBaby” with a “magical” family- and friend-filled shower at their California home on Saturday. At the shower, the pair revealed that they are expecting a daughter.
Villegas, 35, and Reilly, 31, tell PEOPLE they let their guests get crafty at the party.
“We had them help make an ABC book for the baby girl,” Reilly says. “We had a craft table where they could make baby tutus, baby barefoot sandals and baby headbands and decorate onesies.”

This is one house guest they’ll be welcoming with open arms!
Big Brother alums Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly are expecting their first child, the couple revealed Wednesday.
“We’re so excited for this new adventure! After competing on four reality shows we feel like we’re prepared for this new challenge. We found a way to make another lifelong alliance member and we couldn’t be more overjoyed,” the couple tell PEOPLE exclusively, adding that Reilly is due in the spring. “We knew we had to announce it on the show that brought us together! We can’t wait for the Brenchel Baby to arrive.”
While joining Julie Chen live on stage to comment on the current season, the parents-to-be shared a secret of their own.
“Well, you know, Julie, how I say no one comes between me and my man … except a Brenchel baby!” Reilly revealed as the audience cheered.
After congratulating the couple on their future addition — who already has its own hashtag, #BabyBrenchel, in honor of Villegas and Reilly’s infamous alliance — Chen gifted the reality stars with a special present.
