Melissa Rycroft and her husband, insurance agent Tye Strickland, 29, were just married in December, but wasted no time starting a family, even though that wasn’t originally the plan. “It was a shock. We weren’t even trying,” she told Us Magazine. “It’s the most wonderful surprise in the world. It’s such a blessing.”
Rycroft Strickland, who is gearing up to start her new job, co-hosting ABC’s Bachelor Pad (which debuts Aug. 9), admitted that starting a family was not exactly a high priority. “He wanted the kids right away, and I was laughing at him going, ‘No, not ready!'” Still, both were incredibly excited about the good news. “He’s actually cried more than I have,” she said. “Tye is caring, he’s funny. He’s going to be a great dad.”
Between the pregnancy, the new show and having just bought a new home near Dallas, Melissa’s going to be busy! Congratulations, Melissa!
