‘The Bachelor’ Alum Ann Lueders Shares Photo Of Her Third Child With Jesse Csincsak On Instagram

Former “The Bachelor” contestant Ann Lueders took to Instagram earlier today to share a photo of her third child, whom she welcomed with husband Jesse Csincsak on Tuesday, Dec. 27.

In the snapshot, Lueders and Csincsak’s 5-year-old eldest child Noah Theodore gently holds his little brother Carter James in his arms as he gives a sweet smile to the camera.

In Touch, which broke the news of Carter James’ birth, revealed that the couple’s newborn was named after Lueders’ father Brian Carter Lueders, who died last December.

Carter James was delivered via C-section at 9:44 a.m. He measured 20 inches long and weighed 8 pounds, 4 ounces.

“We are super excited for 2017! We feel like there is no better way to ring in a new year than with an addition to our family,” Csincsak told Entertainment Tonight. The professional snowboarder added that Lueders and Carter James are doing well and are expected to go home on Friday.

Like Noah Theodore, his 2-year-old sister Charlotte Jeane is also thrilled with their younger brother’s arrival. “They’re so excited!” Csincsak told Us Weekly of Carter’s older siblings. “All [Charlotte Jeane] wants to do is sit and hold him. Noah is like, ‘Charlotte, be gentle with him.’ It's really cute to see them all interact and how they each fall into their sibling roles. It’s really, really adorable.”

Csinsack also told the news outlet that he and his wife are “super grateful” for their growing family, noting that they are the first “Bachelor” couple to have three children. “It’s crazy to think that nobody has ever had three kids from this show,” he said of the ABC reality dating game show. “We're the only people to ever do that, so I feel proud of everything that we’ve been through and the journey. I feel blessed to have a beautiful wife and three beautiful children all from the show. It’s pretty awesome.”

Lueders competed for Jason Mesnick’s heart in Season 13 of “The Bachelor” in 2009. She, however, was eliminated in week 1 of the competition. Csincsak, on the other hand, received the final rose from DeAnna Pappas in Season 4 of “The Bachelorette” in 2008, but the pair broke up four months after the season’s finale aired.

Lueders and Csincsak met for the first time in a “Bachelor” reunion hosted by the former in 2010. They got engaged later that year and tied the knot in Las Vegas less than a month later, according to E! News.

Season 21 of “The Bachelor” will premiere on Monday, Jan. 2, 2017 at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
