Ben Flajnik is officially a dad!
The former Bachelor, who appeared on The Bachelor for its 16th season, welcomed his first baby with his wife, Christina Flajnik, on Monday, Dec. 22. The couple shared the news on Instagram.
In the picture, Flajnik and his wife's hands are pictured as they cupped their baby boy's feet. "Baby boy Flajnik made us a family of three on December 22. He has shown us a new level of love we didn’t know was possible. Our hearts are forever changed," they wrote in their joint caption.

Flajnik first appeared on Ashley Hebert's season of The Bachelorette before he was asked to return on The Bachelor. At the end of the season, he got engaged to Courtney Robinson.
The couple called it quits less than a year later — though they revealed on The Bachelor‘s "After the Final Rose" episode that they briefly rekindled their romance after a broken engagement.
“We’re engaged. We’re in a good place,” Flajnik said at the time. “Now that the main part of the show, and all the negativity is gone, it can only get better … The root of the problem was us not being able to be with each other and talk about these things.”
However, the couple later ended things, and Robinson eventually married Humberto Preciado, with the couple welcoming two children with a third on the way.
In November 2023, Flajnik revealed on Instagram that he tied the knot with his “best friend,” Christina, in an intimate ceremony, sharing a photo of the couple from their wedding.

In the picture he posted on his Instagram, Flajnik and Christina could be seen beaming with wide smiles at the camera with an arm around each other. Flajnik wore what appeared to be a dark blue suit with a gray tie and white rose boutonniere, matching his new wife.
The bride looked beautiful in an off-the-shoulder white wedding gown that hugged her curves before draping out in a small train at the bottom. She wore a long veil that also reached the ground with flower motifs sewn into the fabric. She accessorized her wedding look with a pair of string pearl necklaces and carried a white rose bouquet.
“Last month, in an intimate ceremony surrounded by family I married my best friend and it was the most incredible day of my life,” the reality star captioned the post. “Tears and laughs were had and I’ve never felt so present with another person in my life.”
“I’m so grateful to do life with you and thank you for your unwavering love and support,” he concluded the post, addressing his new bride.
