Proud dad Matt also posted the news on his Instagram.

“Welcome Gracie Mae. Words can not describe the emotions and feelings I have for these two girls. After a big scare last night after birth where Gracie Mae is recovering well now to finally hold our baby girl is the most surreal and special feeling you will ever get. So Proud of you both and love you with everything I have,” he captioned the same three photos.

Just a day before Gracie Mae’s birth, Simone shared a final pregnancy update with a selfie from her hospital bed simply captioned: “She’s on her way ♥️”

Simone most recently appeared on our screens in 2018 for the first season of Bachelor in Paradise.

Apart from causing a bit of drama with Elora over Apollo Jackson, the blonde bombshell left the show to try and give a relationship with the hunky magician in the real world a red hot go. Unfortunately, though, it wasn’t meant to be.

“I adore him! I have so much time for the guy. He’s one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met,” Simone told Now To Love last year when she left the show.

“It is unfortunate, he’s someone that I could potentially see in my life but he is so busy and I’m not willing to move states. I just can’t! I’ve got my job and I’m happy here but you never know what would happen in the future because we do get along.”

Simone coupled up with magician Apollo on the first season of Bachelor in Paradise.
