Kaitlynn Carter and Kristopher Brock have welcomed their first child together. The “Hills: New Beginnings” star took to Instagram Wednesday night to share the news.

Her post shows Carter smiling while nursing her newborn son.

“Our chunky little guy, Rowan Carter Brock, was born 9/30/21 at 2:53 am, 8 lbs 4 oz,” she captioned the photo. “Everyone is happy and healthy and so in love,” she added.

Carter announced her pregnancy in June when she posted an Instagram photo of herself holding Brock’s hand and a growing baby bump. She captioned the post with a black heart. At that time, a source told ET that Carter and Brock were “beyond excited” to welcome their baby and even celebrated Carter’s pregnancy by taking a babymoon at Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection in Cabo.

“They wanted to do something extra special just the two of them before they made the news public,” the source told the outlet. “She is obsessed with the spa at Esperanza and wanted to spend a couple of days pampering herself.”

An insider who spotted the couple at the resort also told ET that Carter and Brock, who had been dating for over a year at the time, seemed so in love.

“They looked so relaxed and you can tell they’re so in love. They were really affectionate and always smiling. She looks amazing! She was showing off her bump and she really was glowing,” the insider said.

Earlier, Carter offered a glimpse of her nursery at home as she and Brock prepared to welcome their baby. “This is honestly how I fantasized this room would turn out but didn’t think it was possible with how much stuff we had after combining two homes earlier this year,” she wrote.

On Father’s Day, she wrote a touching tribute for Brock, saying, “Happy Father’s Day @kristopher.brock!! We are so lucky you’re ours. And a happy father’s day to my loving father and already doting grandpa @mark.s.carter!!”

She also gushed over her beau back in December, saying how “mature” he is and describing their romance as “the most seamless” and “chill” relationship.
