With fans and friends alike celebrating the couple's news in the comments, Giancola shared a message of thanks for those showing support to her and May.

\"We wish we could write to you all separately to just say thank you!! Seriously your comments have brought tears to my eyes,\" she wrote in an Instagram story. \"We are so grateful for all your prayers throughout our journey, thank you all! If you're struggling through infertility, don't give up! Miracles do happen!!\"

Giancola and May got engaged in March 2024, with the reality star sharing the news in an Instagram post at the time.
