Congrats to Jonny Fairplay, 43, and his girlfriend Caryn Finkbeiner! The two welcomed a precious baby girl into the world on May 20, and already they are completely head-over-heels for their bundle of joy. Jonny and Caryn named their daughter Madilyn Jane, and she was born weighing in at 7 lb., 10 oz. and measuring 19 inches long. She was born in Virginia, which is where the family now lives. The newborn joins Jonny’s 9-year-old daughter Piper Addison, 9, whom he had during a previous relationship.
“It’s an unbelievable feeling having another beautiful little girl enter our lives,” Jonny told People magazine while sharing the first pics of his gorgeous new addition. “And amazingly she’s already said her first words: ‘Hey Jeff Probst, put my Daddy back on the show!’” LOL. The reality star first competed on Survivor: Pearl Islands back in 2003, and he ended up finishing in third place. He’s most well-known for being one of Survivor’s first villains, as he infamously lied about his grandmother’s death in order to get an advantage in a reward challenge. He then used his fame to secure more than a dozen subsequent reality TV appearances. He even began a career in professional wrestling!
Jonny later competed in 2008’s Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites. And even legally changed his name from Jon Dalton to Jonny Fairplay in 2013. “Congratulations didn’t know you were expecting. She is beautiful,” one fan commented on Jonny’s Instagram post that showed off baby Madilyn’s adorable face. Another commenter gushed, “What a doll! Congrats Jon.” We wish all the best for this sweet fam!
