‘Bachelorette’ Alum Michael Stagliano Welcomes a Baby Boy a Month Early!

Former Bachelorette contestant Michael Stagliano and his wife Emily were in for a big surprise on Oct. 12!

The 32-year-old, who appeared on Jillian Harris' season of the hit dating show, announced on Wednesday that the couple welcomed a baby boy named Bowen Michael a month earlier than expected.

"There certainly aren't words enough to describe how much this picture means to @emilystag and I, but here's my attempt," Michael captioned a family photo. "[Bowen] was born at 6:33am, and came into the world just as the sun was rising over the mountains through the window outside the delivery room."
