Melissa Rycroft Is Expecting!

Congratulations to reality star Melissa Rycroft, who is expecting her first child with her new husband Tye Strickland.

"It was a shock. We weren't even trying," says Melissa, who appeared on The Bachelor before going on to Dancing With the Stars. "It's the most wonderful surprise in the world. It's such a blessing."

Her hubby is also thrilled with the happy news.

"He's actually cried more than I have," Melissa tells US. "Tye is caring, he's funny. He's going to be a great dad."

Due in February, Melissa's pregnancy cravings are in full swing - the host of ABC's Bachelor Pad admits she's "eating everything in sight."

The couple don't yet know the sex of the baby on the way, but plan to find out. Melissa says she's hoping for a boy while Tye would love a baby girl.
