Reality star Clare Crawley is a mom! The former Bachelorette star announced today that her first baby was born on January 15th. Clare and her husband Ryan Dawkins announced last July that they were expecting their first baby together via surrogate.
Clare and Ryan, the CEO of Mascot Sports, welcomed a baby girl, news they shared when announcing their baby’s sex in August 2023. The couple named their daughter Rowen Lily Dawkins. “I prayed for you my entire life,” Clare wrote in her caption, “and to finally hold you in our arms is nothing short of a miracle and a dream come true!”
While Rowen is The Bachelor star’s first baby, she is Ryan’s third. Ryan has two daughters, ages 8 and 11, from a previous relationship. The couple began dating in September 2021 and became engaged in October 2022. The two enjoyed a short engagement and were married the following year in February 2023.
Just a few short months after their wedding, Clare excitedly announced the couple was expecting. At the time, the reality star reflected on the news in her announcement writing, “This TRULY is what my dreams are made of! I can’t tell you how hard it has been to hold this secret in, as I’ve shared the last 10 years of my life with you all! This is one journey though that Ryan and I have been keeping close to our hearts as we navigated the uncertain world of IVF and all that comes with it up until this point. We are so incredibly grateful to @eggwhisperer for making miracles happen!”
Congratulations to Clare and Ryan on the arrival of baby Rowen! We wish them all the best as they embark on this journey together.
