On top of son Jennings with Tyler, Emily also has ten-year-old daughter Ricki from her previous relationship with late fiancé Ricky Hendrick.

Emily was clearly blown away at the rapid development in her personal life.  

'We didn't think it would happen so quickly, but we're so grateful and just feel so blessed and excited,' the reality star added. 

The former Bachelorette echoed the sentiments on her blog Emilymaynard.com, where she also shared the big news with fans.

'Before you even say anything, yes, I realize I just had Jennings like, 2 seconds ago. I guess I should've read that part in the baby handbook that says you're super fertile after giving birth, huh?'

'I said about two weeks after Jennings was born that I couldn't wait to have another, I just had no clue it would happen so quickly!'

The reality star expressed gratitude for the new addition.

'Some of my closest friends have had a really hard time getting pregnant and my heart breaks for them, so I'm just so grateful for this blessing God has given our family.' 

Emily's daughter Ricki was born in 2005.

The star did not find out she was pregnant with their daughter until after her fiancé Ricky died in a plane crash in 2004.

Speaking of the devastation that followed his death, Emily added in her Good Morning America interview, 'After the accident, I wished more than anything that I had been on the plane with him.'   

Six years after giving birth, Emily went on The Bachelor and was proposed to by Texas bar owner Brad Womack on season 15 of the reality dating show.

After their split, the blonde beauty didn't give up her search for love, signing on to be The Bachelorette for season eight in 2012.

The first single mother to appear as The Bachelorette, Maynard became engaged to former contestant Jef Holm in the season finale. However, the pair called off their relationship later that year.

The Southern sweetie found true love post reality TV with auto consultant Tyler, 30. The pair met in church in January 2014 and wed at his parents' farm in South Carolina that year on June 7. 

The couple gave birth to Jennings in July 2015.
