LOS ANGELES, May 19 (UPI) -- Melissa Rycroft has welcomed her third child, a baby boy with her husband Tye Strickland.

According to E! News, the former Bachelor contestant and Dancing With the Stars winner gave birth Wednesday to Cayson Jack born at 8 lbs. and 12 oz.

Cayson joins older siblings Ava Grace born in 2011 and Beckett Thomas born in 2014.

The 33-year-old reality star announced her pregnancy on Instagram in November alongside a family photo. "This is definitely the last one...probably...#partyoffive #babyonboard #maybethisonewilllooklikeme," she wrote of having a third child.
