She's a sister for their two-year-old son, Fordham Rhys.

And Bachelorette star Ashley Hebert Rosenbaum and husband J.P. Rosenbaum looked over the moon as they introduced their little girl to the world in Miami, Florida, on Friday.

Essex Reese was born via Caesarean section at  10.38am and weighed in at a healthy 7lbs 11oz, measuring 19ins long, according to People.

Still waiting: Bachelorette star Ashley Hebert Rosenbaum posted this snap of her baby bump in early October. On Friday she and husband J.P. welcomed their little girl, Essex Reese

The couple shared a snap of themselves with the magazine, showing them still in hospital scrubs with their newborn swaddled up  and wearing a white headband with a pink bow.

'Both mommy and beautiful baby Essie are doing great!' J.P., 39, gushed. 

The 32 -year-old former reality star married J.P. after giving him the final rose in the seventh season of ABC's The Bachelorette in 2011.

Her choice: The couple met on the seventh season of The Bachelorette when the 32-year-old gave J.P the red rose in 2011

They tied the knot in a televised ceremony in December 2012.

The Rosenbaums announced they were expecting a little girl in an Instagram they posted in May.

'I can’t hold it in any longer … My heart is bursting with love now that we’re #ClearblueConfirmed!' Ashley captioned the photo of a blackboard with the inscription 'Ashley + JP + Ford + Baby Girl = [Heart].'

No. 2 on the way: They announced they were expecting their second child, a baby girl, with this cute Instagram, posted in May

Proud parents: Ashley and J.P. already share Fordham Rhys, who turned two on September 30

She has shared a slew of snaps since then, including plenty of her growing baby bump and her little boy.

Just before announcing that she was expecting, Ashley told People that they were trying for baby number two.

'There’s talk, and there’s action of more babies. We’re talking … and we’re rockin’!' Ashley joked.

Romantic setting: Ashley looked radiant in a white lace frock on Fiji as she held the red rose that she would eventually give to J.P. in 2011
