Cory Wharton shares a daughter with 'The Challenge' co-star

Dec. 18 (UPI) -- The Challenge: Rivals III co-stars Cory Wharton and Cheyenne Floyd share a 9-month-old daughter.

The MTV reality stars confirmed they are parents to daughter Ryder by posting a family photo Saturday on Instagram.

"I've been off of social media for a while now... for many reasons. Most importantly God has given me the biggest blessing in my life, my daughter Ryder K Wharton," Wharton captioned the picture.

"I want to say thank you to Cheyenne for being such an amazing mother," he added. "I look forward to co-parenting with you and giving Ryder all the love in the world. I can't wait to watch you grow up and be there for you every step of the way, love you Moochie!!!"

Floyd shared the same snapshot, which was taken by Toshi Lu, and a message to Wharton on her own account.

"Cory is nothing short of an amazing father. We are so blessed to be raising mooch as co parents together and I couldn't have asked for a better father to my princess. Our daughter is the best of both of us," she said.

Wharton and Floyd both appeared on The Challenge: Rivals III in 2016. Sources told Us Weekly the pair were seen being affectionate when the cameras stopped rolling on the MTV reality competition.

Floyd confirmed her pregnancy in October 2016 but did not share the father's name at the time. She announced Ryder's birth in April, and has since shared many photos with her daughter.
