It's a boy for "Bachelor" alum Renee Oteri and her new husband Bracy Maynard. Oteri announced she was pregnant with her second child in July, just four months after marrying Maynard in a court house ceremony.
On Saturday (Aug. 23) the "Bachelor" Season 18 contestant and Maynard held a belated wedding reception in Sarasota, Fla. for 120 of their closest friends and family. The wedding reception also doubled as a gender reveal party where the happy couple set off poppers with blue confetti to announce that they were expecting a baby boy.
This will be the second child for Oteri who has a 9-year-old son, named Ben, from a previous relationship.
"No one knew until last night," she told US Weekly about the baby's gender reveal. "We wanted everyone to be involved in the gender reveal, kind of like New Years and the Fourth of July combined."
Oteri also told US that Ben is excited about becoming a big brother but said prior to the gender reveal party, he already had his heart set on a baby brother.
"He's excited but only interested in a little brother," Oteri said.
Three weeks after the 32-year-old former reality star and Maynard announced their engagement, they got married in a small ceremony at a court house. According to Wetpaint, the two have known each other for a really long time and even dated briefly but split because of distance.
"Renee has known him since they were 12 years old," a source told Wetpaint.com. "He was her first kiss! They were best friends growing up, and even dated a few years ago, but they broke up in 2010."
After being sent home by Juan Pablo, Oteri linked back up with Maynard.
"He knew she was going on the show, but they don't talk about it at all," the source said. "He hasn't been watching this season, and I doubt he will."
Shortly after Maynard proposed the couple moved from Florida to Seattle.
