Jade Roper & Tanner Tolbert Welcome Baby No. 3
The Tolberts are officially a family of five!
Jade Roper gave birth Saturday, November 14, to a baby boy. They have not announced their son's name yet, though the top two names in her competition bracket were Reed and Jack.
Jade and Tanner Tolbert shared the happy news on social media nearly every step of the way. She shared in September that she was planning for an at-home birth, adding, "I’m planning to probably give birth in our bedroom. I feel like that’s a safe place. I haven’t decided if I’m going to do a water birth or not." She ended up having a water birth.
Tanner posted photos on his Instagram Story that they were "officially on baby watch" when Jade's water broke. He wrote at 5:33 a.m. on Saturday, "Mama and Baby Boy doing great!"

Jade shared some photos on Instagram after welcoming her third child. She posted one of him laying on her chest and captioned it, "He’s here and he’s perfect. ✨✨✨"
Another picture showed Tanner holding their baby in the bath as Jade looks at her husband and smiles.

She described, "Can’t wait to share all the magic with you and share our birth story!! Right now we are soaking in all these beautiful, new moments. 😍 Thank you for all the love and support and for holding space for our little family in your hearts. I’m one grateful mama. ❤️"
Tanner uploaded that same photo and captioned it, "Officially outnumbered! 👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻"

On Sunday, Jade uploaded a sweet picture of Emmy holding her baby brother and explained that her daughter "can't get enough baby snuggles."
She added, "We all love him so very much, even Brooksy laughs and smiles at him! I love how when a new baby enters the family, it feels like they’ve always been here and life before them doesn’t even seem imaginable anymore. He’s absolutely meant to be ours. ❤️"
Congratulations, Jade, Tanner, and the rest of the Tolbert family!
