HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Melissa Rycroft is pregnant!
The former Dancing with the Stars and Bachelor contestant is expecting her first child with husband Tye Strickland, the reality star tells Us Weekly.
"It was a shock. We weren't even trying," the 27-year-old Rycroft, who is due in February, tells the mag. "It's the most wonderful surprise in the world. It's such a blessing."
Rycroft and Strickland, a 29-year-old insurance agent, tied the knot in December in Mexico.
"He wanted the kids right away, and I was laughing at him going, 'No, not ready!' " she says.
Rycroft says the couple is anxious to find out the sex of their baby, but either way she knows she'll have plenty of support at home.
"He's actually cried more than I have," says Rycroft, who will be co-hosting the upcoming reality series Bachelor Pad with Chris Harrison. "Tye is caring, he's funny. He's going to be a great dad."
