The Teen Mom OG star— who met and fell in love with the new mum while appearing on MTV’s Ex on the Beach in 2018—announced the safe arrival of their bub via Instagram. They’re yet to reveal her name. 

“Hi. Daddy loves you. She’s here. Everybody is safe and everybody is healthy. Taylor is fine and the baby is gorgeous,” Cory captioned a video of himself holding his tiny daughter in his arms. 

Fans waited all week for the duo to confirm the big news after Cory teased that the baby was coming on Twitter.

The couple announced they were expecting back in October, with Taylor telling PEOPLE they were excited to be taking the next step in their relationship. 

“Yes, this is true,” she said. “I’m 12 weeks and two days as of today. Cory and I are very happy and excited to share this journey together.”

Days later, they confirmed they’d also moved in together. 

“I’m really excited to share this journey with you guys. All that I ask from you guys is respect for Taylor, respect for me and most importantly respect for the baby. All that I want is a healthy baby that is brought into a very positive environment and surround by good energy and love. The same way that I am raising Ryder,” Cory shared on Instagram. “This is a very exciting time for mine and Taylor’s families. Never did I think by 28 I would have two children but here we are.”

“This isn’t a joke? Is Taylor going to pop out somewhere and say just kidding?” she asked. “I didn’t expect to hear this conversation for probably another five years. What the f***! Oh God.”

She later clarified with E! News she was happy for her ex, admitting MTV didn’t air the entire conversation. 

“I actually helped them plan their gender reveal and gave them all the vendors and places to call. People hear that and they’re like, ‘You helped your child’s father plan their new child’s gender reveal?’ and it sounds so weird but it works for us.

“I would take our situation over us hating each other any day. It might be weird to some people, but it works for us.”
