In a jaw-dropping moment on Love Is Blind Season 9 reunion, fan-favorite Sparkle Megan—real name Megan Walerius—stunned the live audience and her co-stars by revealing she had quietly welcomed a baby boy over two months earlier. The 35-year-old proudly introduced her newborn son, Brooks, and his father, Paul, declaring, “I have a little boy and he is my whole world… I now know more than ever I was meant on this Earth to be a mom.”
Now, The U.S. Sun can exclusively confirm the identity of Megan’s mystery partner: Paul Wegman III, a 46-year-old Denver-based CEO, Air Force veteran, and self-made entrepreneur whose journey from humble beginnings to corporate leadership is nothing short of inspiring.
A Soldier, a Builder, a CEO
Paul Wegman III currently serves as CEO of NOVA Automation, a leading manufacturer of industrial packaging machinery solutions. Since joining the company in 2018, he has also taken on the role of Managing Partner at DynaCorp Ventures, a private equity firm.
His professional foundation, however, was forged in service. From 1997 to 2004, Wegman worked as a communications technician in the U.S. Air Force, a chapter that instilled discipline and resilience that clearly fuels his success today.
A proud alumnus of the University of Maryland with an MBA from Texas McCombs School of Business, Wegman embodies the classic American bootstrap story. “I’ve always been a builder,” he shared in a 2024 interview. “From organizing my toys and building Legos… I’ve always been inspired to build things, create things.”
He credits his upbringing for shaping his work ethic:
“I grew up in a family where we were middle class, low middle class. We really had to do everything on our own—working on cars with my dad, house projects… all the things I could do with my hands.”
A Whirlwind Romance and New Family
Megan met Paul through mutual friends shortly after wrapping Love Is Blind. Within three months, she was pregnant—a timeline she candidly addressed at the reunion:
“We had our ups and downs. I’m not going to say it was perfect. But Paul has been amazing, and we’re very happy.”
The couple now shares Megan’s $1.3 million Denver home, purchased in June 2024—just months after her televised split from ex-fiancé Jordan Keltner. Photos obtained by The U.S. Sun on October 22 show the new family stepping out together, with Paul cradling baby Brooks outside the modern residence.
Life Beyond the Spotlight
While Megan embraces luxury and reality TV fame, Paul keeps a lower profile. His private social media reveals a passion for biking, hiking, and international travel—pursuits that align with his active, adventurous spirit.
A Lesson in Empathy
Megan’s journey to motherhood has transformed her perspective, especially toward her former fiancé, Jordan, a single father to 5-year-old son Luca.
“I’m definitely learning to be a lot more selfless,” she reflected. “Becoming a mom is the ultimate act of selflessness. It’s given me a lot more empathy… I applaud Jordan for even doing this experiment and putting his heart out there.”
From battlefield communications to boardroom strategy, Paul Wegman III has built a life—and now a family—on grit, vision, and quiet strength. For Sparkle Megan, the pods may not have led to forever with Jordan… but they opened the door to a love story that began off-camera, blossomed fast, and gifted her the role she was born to play: mom.
