MTV revealed that Maci and Taylor broke their baby news by hugging the TMOG production crew.

They then excitedly told Bentley, who was celebrating his sixth birthday, about his new big brother status, giving him presents from his soon-to-arrive little sister.

'And Taylor is a big brother, so he’s kind of learning from all aspects what his role is gonna be.'
