Real World real-life couple Sean Duffy and Rachel Campos-Duffy have welcomed their eighth child, a son named Patrick Miguel Duffy.
The Congressman for Wisconsin’s 7th District shared the news on Instagram, writing, “Our family is so blessed! We are excited to welcome our eighth, Patrick Miguel Duffy, into the world! He is happy and healthy, and his siblings can’t get enough of him!”
Campos-Duffy, who was a member of the original 1994 Real World: San Francisco cast, wrote, “Meet Patrick Miguel Duffy! He was born Sunday at 1:03pm & weighed 5.13 lbs. I know he is baby #8, but this ‘new life’ thing never gets old!!! And the kids can’t get enough of him. A special thank you to the awesome nurses, anesthesiologist, and my nurse mid wife, Lynn Kerns, from Aspirus for a GREAT birthing experience. Welcome to the family baby Patrick. It’s gonna be wonderful life!”
Duffy was a cast member on The Real World: Boston in 1997; the two met in 1998 on Real World Road Rules: All Stars. Baby Patrick has seven older siblings to look after him: Evita (16), Jack (14), Lucia-Belen (12), John Paul (9), Paloma (8), Maria Victoria (6), and Margarita (2).
