Renee Oteri and her new husband Bracy Maynard welcomed their first child together on Thursday, Jan. 15. The former "Bachelor" contestant, who is already mom to 9-year-old Ben from a previous relationship, confirmed the news to US Weekly.
"Jax is here! We're all beyond thrilled! Ben is the proudest older brother and Bracy is in love - we're all so happy," Oteri said. "It was such a long labor, but Bracy nailed it. I also had a girlfriend who is a doula and she was a rockstar! She got us all playing Heads Up during the early labor to kill time."
Baby Jax Maynard weighed 7 lbs., 3 oz. and measured 21 inches long. Oteri told US that she's so in love with her new baby that she "would love to have another" one with Maynard. The couple married in a small court house ceremony in March 2014, three weeks after announcing their engagement.
Shortly after the proposal, Maynard and Oteri relocated from Florida to Seattle where Maynard had a new job lined up. Four months after their wedding, Oteri revealed she was pregnant.
"Renee has known him since they were 12 years old," a source previously told Wetpaint. "He was her first kiss! They were best friends growing up, and even dated a few years ago, but they broke up in 2010."
Oteri appeared on Season 18 of "The Bachelor" with Juan Pablo. After the soccer hunk sent her home, Oteri and Maynard started dating again.
"He knew she was going on the show, but they don't talk about it at all," the source said.
