April Marie, alum from The Ultimatum, has become a mother and welcomed her first child with her boyfriend Cody Cooper. Marie, 25, made the announcement on Instagram on Friday, August 11, stating, "Baby Girl IS HERE! I chose to keep the experience of our delivery and time at the hospital private. Despite the challenge of keeping it a secret, I am thrilled to finally share the news with you all. Just know that it has been a long week for us, but we made it!"

She went on to share, "Cody and I have been at the hospital since Tuesday. It's hard to believe everything still feels so unreal at this moment. Our baby girl is in great health and absolutely perfect. These past 24+ hours have been the most excruciatingly painful, yet incredibly beautiful experience I have ever had. It's something I will never forget. ❤️"

Prior to their daughter's birth, the Netflix personality posted pictures of the proud parents at the hospital, although they have not disclosed the baby's name or shared her first photo yet.

In her note on Friday, Marie expressed her admiration for Cooper, describing him as an extraordinary partner who is always there for her. She eagerly looks forward to embarking on the journey of parenthood together and cannot adequately express her pride and deepening love for him and their growing family. Marie is confident in Cooper's ability to be an amazing father.

Responding to Cooper's comment, he expressed his admiration for Marie's strength. He eagerly expressed his love for both Marie and their baby girl and eagerly anticipated the creation of new memories together.

Marie and Jake Cunningham were in a two-year relationship before Marie gave him an ultimatum on the show "The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On." Eventually, Marie and Cunningham, who is 27 years old, broke up after both of them had experimental relationships with other contestants, Colby Kissinger and Rae Williams, respectively.

After the show ended, Marie found love with a real estate broker named Cooper. In April 2022, she exclusively told "We" magazine, "I wouldn't waste my time with anyone who I don't see a long-term future with. So, I absolutely adore this man and I'm extremely happy."

Less than a year later, in February, they excitedly revealed that they were anticipating the arrival of their first child.

"On Valentine's Day, I celebrated my newfound friendship with my best friend," Marie expressed on Instagram. "It's surreal to even put these words into writing. It was just two months ago, on 12/12/22, when I discovered that I was expecting you... These initial two months passed by swiftly, giving us a glimpse of how quickly time will go until you grace our lives and transform them completely."
