Bushnell shared the news Thursday on Instagram alongside photos of herself and Lane with their baby boy.

"Dutton Walker Lane born June 8th, 2021. Your dad and I can't get enough of all 9 pounds of you. Now back to baby cuddles and praising Jesus over and over again for this little miracle!" Bushnell captioned the post.

Fellow Bachelor Nation stars Lauren Burnham, Jade Roper and Ashley Iaconetti were among those to congratulate Bushnell in the comments.

"Yay!! congrats you two!" Burnham wrote.

"Congrats beautiful mama!! Welcome to the world, sweet Dutton!" Roper added.

"Awww congratulations!!!!" Iaconetti said.

Bushnell and Lane married in October 2019 and announced in December that they were expecting their first child.

"A dream. Except I'm not dreaming. I'm wide awake," Bushnell wrote on Instagram. "Holding your dads hand, watching you dance around in my belly. Listening to your little heart beat. My new favorite sound. A miracle. New life. Our sweet baby."

Bushnell showed her baby bump in photos with Lane on Valentine's Day in February.

Bushnell won Ben Higgins' season of The Bachelor, which aired in 2016. The pair broke off their engagement the next year.
