"This experience has changed me forever and I couldn't of asked for a more amazing and supportive partner," she said of Cannon. "Daddy showed the f up for us.. I couldn't of done it without you. I can't believe he's here."

Tiesi also documented her birth experience in a video on YouTube, saying she gave birth June 28. The new mom also shared how her son needed "respiratory support" following his birth.
