'Golden Bachelor' host Jesse Palmer welcomes baby girl with wife Emely Fardo Palmer
"The Bachelor" host Jesse Palmer and his wife Emely Palmer welcomed a baby girl, the couple shared in a Wednesday night Instagram post.
"Our worlds have been forever changed…She’s finally here…" the couple's joint post reads. "ELLA REINE PALMER...Our hearts are overflowing with love and gratitude."
The couple announced their 2020 marriage in People shortly after Palmer was named the host of Season 26 of reality dating show "The Bachelor." He stayed with the franchise, later hosting "The Bachelorette," "Bachelor in Paradise," and "The Golden Bachelor."
Jesse and model Emely Fardo Palmer announced they were expecting a baby girl in a joint post in August 2023.
The baby girl arrived less than a week after Jesse Palmer hosted a livestreamed wedding between the franchise's most recent happy couple, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist who got engaged on "The Golden Bachelor."

Host Jesse Palmer nearly misses child's birth for Golden Wedding, catches heat on X
Jesse Palmer opened "The Golden Wedding" by announcing that he may miss the birth of his baby.
"On a personal note, I actually wasn't sure that I was going to make it here," he said. "And that's because my beautiful wife Emely is at home right now, and we're expecting the birth of our very first child at any moment. Seriously, it could happen tonight."
He told his wife that he loves and misses her and to "please call me if you need anything."
"I will leave here immediately," he said.
Some on social media playfully chastised the expectant father for being at the "Golden Wedding" instead of at home with his pregnant wife. Others cited that the most dramatic thing that could happen would be Palmer becoming a dad on the night of the “Golden Wedding.”
But now that Ella Reine Palmer is here, "Bachelor Nation" has flooded the post with comments of congratulations and support.
"I am so so happy for you two!!! Congratulations @emelyfardopalmer & @jessepalmer - the best days are ahead!!" wrote Charity Lawson, the franchise's most recent bachelorette.
"Congratulations Jesse!! So happy for you guys," reads a comment from Joey Graziadei, the lead for the next season of "The Bachelor," airing later this month.
