Love Is Blind's Bliss Poureetezadi-Goytowski and Zack Goytowski are expanding their family!
The reality TV stars, who met and fell in love during season 4 of the hit Netflix series, are expecting their second baby together, sharing the news exclusively with PEOPLE. Zack tells PEOPLE that the thought of welcoming the new addition, who is set to join the family during the summer, is "a little surreal."
Echoing her husband's sentiments, the expectant mom explains that the exciting news of another little one feels "extremely special."
"It doesn't really feel quite real until they're here, but I feel like it's almost more exciting in a way this time because we know the love and joy that's coming."

The soon-to-be mom of two tells PEOPLE she found out she was carrying their second baby shortly after they returned from a trip to Japan.
"I was feeling a little bit off. I started having weird dreams, which is the same kind of thing that happened with our daughter, Galileo," she explains. "It was a little early, but I decided to take a test and I was fully prepared … to see a not pregnant result, but it came back pregnant and I was really shocked."
After finding out the news, the very first person she told was their daughter Galileo, whom they welcomed in April 2024. Bliss tells PEOPLE that she made her daughter a custom shirt that said "Big Sister" and purchased balloons for the monumental moment.
"I think she can comprehend," the doting mom says, referring to her toddler daughter. "I got her a baby doll. We talked to her about it. She saw the baby on the ultrasound. She can feel the baby move. She was meant to be a big sister."
"I really think she's going to love it," she adds. "I honestly think she's going to take to it really well."
Shortly after hearing the news, it was time for Galileo to take on her first task as a big sister: telling her dad the exciting news. Bliss tells PEOPLE she positioned the 21-month-old in her crib and surrounded her with balloons, the positive pregnancy test and her shirt, so she could be the one to share the news.
"I'd been up all night with Galileo, and so I think it was on the weekend and [Bliss] let me sleep in. And then she ran into the bedroom and said, 'Zack, you have to see Galileo.' And she did it in kind of like a panicky voice, like something was wrong, and so I'm very worried," Zack recalls from the special moment.
"I'd just woken up from a nap, and the first thing I see is my daughter holding balloons and a T-shirt that says "Big Sister" on it," he adds. "I know immediately, but I'm like, 'What? No way. No way.'"

Looking back on her pregnancy experience so far, Bliss tells PEOPLE that the second time around is definitely more "challenging" than the first.
"The first trimester, especially with a toddler, is probably one of the hardest things I've ever done," she says. "Zack has been really supportive."
"I think this time, [I'm] just a million times more exhausted," she continues, jokingly adding she feels her pregnancy cravings are "kind of boring." "My cravings are always just vegetables and fruit, which feel kind of boring, like where are the pickles and ice cream?"

While the couple doesn't know the sex of the baby yet, they do have something very special planned for the big reveal.
Before his grandmother passed away, Zack was fortunate enough to share the news of their baby on the way with her. Although she won't be able to meet the little one, she'll play an important role in helping Zack and Bliss prepare for his or her arrival.
"I knew that she wasn't going to be around for when we did the gender reveal, so I gave my aunt the medical information, and I asked them to show it to my grandma and have her film a video for the baby," he explains. "And so, that's how we're going to do the gender reveal. We're going to watch her."
The couple will find out the sex of their baby alongside the rest of the world during the Love Is Blind season 10 reunion, which is set to air on March 11.

Above all, the couple can't wait to meet their little one. Bliss tells PEOPLE that she is most excited to see how her daughter interacts with the new addition.
"Galileo is such a social butterfly. She loves kids. She loves people. I'm so excited for her to have a sibling and see them grow up together," she says. "It's such a special bond, and it's just going to be the best thing ever to see them together."
She also adds that she's looking forward to all the "simple moments in life."
"Having dinner together as a family of four. Going to the park, going on vacations. Just that whole dynamic of having two little people is going to be so exciting," she says.
In addition to being excited to see his kids play together and his daughter morph into the best big sister, Zack tells PEOPLE he's excited to have his world altered in the best way by a little human all over again.
"It is hard for me to fathom," he says. "I think about getting to see who this little person is that's growing inside of their mom."
"I could never have [expected] how different my life would be, like there's this person that I hadn't met yet, that didn't even exist, and then they came and changed my entire life, and they're the most important person in my entire life," he adds. "And the idea that there's another person that is going to be here [and] that is going to do that exact same thing to me, [that's what] I get excited about."
