“Bachelor in Paradise” couple Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk welcomed their first child, a baby boy, together on Tuesday.
“Little man made it,” Gottschalk, 31, announced on Instagram, adding that Gates, 30, had an emergency c-section.
He continued, “Mom and baby are doing very well.”
The former reality star shared that their son was born at 3:33 a.m. on Jan. 18, and measured-in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces, and was 21 inches long. The couple has yet to announce the newborn’s name.
Gottschalk initially teased that he had a feeling the baby was coming soon on Monday. He revealed that Gates was having “really bad contractions,” so they took her into the hospital, but neither her water had broken nor was she dilated.
