The 30-year-old Season 9 star announced in an Instagram post Thursday that she and Siegfried welcomed son Asher Wrigley on Oct. 19.

"He already has us wrapped around his precious little fingers! We are overjoyed to welcome the newest addition to our family, Asher Wrigley Siegfried. Born yesterday, (10/19) happy, healthy and strong!" Hartsock wrote.

"Chris and I are beyond blessed with this beautiful gift of life that we are excited to have as a part of our family," she added.
