Lesley Murphy Welcomes Daughter Nora Blanche: See the First Pics of Her Adorable Baby Girl!
She’s here! Lesley Murphy headed over to Instagram on Sunday to give Bachelor Nation a glimpse at her baby girl, Nora Blanche, whom she and fiancé Alex Kavanagh welcomed on February 12.
“Meet our newest little valentine, Nora Blanche Kavanagh!” the “Bachelor” alum wrote, noting the proximity of her newborn’s birthday to Valentine’s Day.
“Born on 2/12/21 and weighing 5 lbs 15 oz. I find her so perfect that sometimes words fail me and I’m left in tears instead...like right now. Pure love is being home with this little ball of joy on a snowy Valentine’s Day as a family of 3!” Lesley added in her caption, which was accompanied by a swipe-through of adorable photos.
One pic sees Lesley cradling Nora Blanche in her hospital bed. Another shows the precious infant wrapped in a blanket and sound asleep, while another features the new family of three cuddled up together with Alex feeding his daughter. In the last snapshot, Lesley holds Nora Blanche close to her chest on the porch of her home in Little Rock, Arkansas.

It wasn’t long before notable “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” alums flooded Lesley’s comments section with congratulatory messages.
“Yaaaaaayyyyy! That sweet baby Nora girl! I love that little precious one so much already!” Catherine Giudici enthused.
“Congrats!!!!” Raven Gates wrote, while Ashley Iaconetti commented, “Congratulations!! She’s beautiful!!”
Meanwhile, Tenley Molzahn remarked, “She’s beautiful!!!!! congratulations!!! Isn’t it the vest thing in the whole wide world! So happy for you guys!!!!”
Nora Blanche’s arrival comes days after Lesley expressed gratitude for the experience of carrying a child. “Honestly just in awe,” she captioned a stunning snapshot of her bare baby bump shared February 9 on her Instagram Story. “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Just weeks ago, Lesley threw a Zoom baby shower in anticipation of Nora Blanche’s birth.
“Had our baby shower last weekend and this girl is being showered with so much love already!” Lesley captioned photos from the couple’s intimate pink-themed fete, which took place virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “Thanks to everyone who came and jumped on Zoom. Our little fam of 3 is so lucky!”
Lesley announced her baby news with Alex in September. One month later, the couple relocated from Southern California to settle down in Lesley’s home state of Arkansas. The “Road Les Traveled” blogger and the hunky Australian DRONEGEAR founder got engaged on February 4, 2020.
