The start of something new! Evelyn Halas and Justin Halas announced on Tuesday, September 1, that they welcomed their first child, a baby boy.
“Hi everyone! #BabyHalas is here,” the Ecuador native captioned an Instagram Story photo of her infant’s feet.
The 90 Day Fiancé star went on to write the following day: “Thank you everyone for all your good wishes. I really appreciate it!”
She and Justin fell in love on season 2 of the TLC show and tied the knot in 2014. The couple announced in April that they were starting a family. “Surprise!” Evelyn wrote via Instagram at the time. “#BabyHalas is coming!”
The then-pregnant star was shocked that they conceived their son “so fast,” she told InTouch at the time, adding, “I [am] 35 and [being] pregnant [at] this age is a bit more difficult, but … in my case, [it] was very easy! It was hard to believe, so the other day Justin and I went to the doctor to [get] another pregnancy test! Three tests … all positive!”
The TLC personality went on to tell the outlet: “Never imagined that was going to happen [amid] all this madness in the world [during the coronavirus pandemic] … but we are happy with my pregnancy. I’m well, healthy and happy to see my belly grow day after day.”
The pair announced the sex of their baby-to-be the following month, and Evelyn showed her baby bump progress over the course of her pregnancy.
“My third trimester is coming soon… but for now he is moving a lot… having some fun in mommy’s belly,” she captioned a photo of her bare bump in June. On Friday, August 28, the reality star wrote that she was “waiting for” her baby boy’s arrival.
The new parents met in 2013 at a hot dog stand during the World Games in Colombia. “She makes me a better man,” he said of Evelyn on season 2 of the show. “She’s the one.”
