'The Bachelor' Gal Melissa Rycroft Is Pregnant

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 28th 2010 10:26AM

Former 'Bachelor' contestant Melissa Rycroft is pregnant, Us Weekly reports.

"It was a shock. We weren't even trying," says Rycroft-Strickland, who married insurance agent Tye Strickland in December after a sad end on 'The Bachelor' in 2009. "It's the most wonderful surprise in the world. It's such a blessing."

A 27-year-old former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, Melissa, who appeared on 'Dancing With the Stars' and will co-host ABC's 'Bachelor Pad' in August, didn't exactly have children on her mind quite yet. "[Tye] wanted the kids right away, and I was laughing at him going, 'No, not ready!'" she tells the magazine.

Rycroft-Strickland says her husband's excitement and support has been huge. "He's actually cried more than I have. Tye is caring, he's funny. He's going to be a great dad."

The two recently purchased a home near Dallas. Melissa hopes for a boy, Tye hopes for a girl. "We're going to find out as soon as we can," she says. She also adds she's "eating everything in sight" and "knowing me, I'm going to swell and gain 90 pounds."

CONGRATS Melissa on being pregnant you're going to be a good mother. As for some that are sick of the excuse of it being unplanned I believe that it is true that it is unplanned sometimes I just think some just want to bash no matter what.

Wheather you are trying or not if you have sex without birth control then there is a 100% chance of getting pregnant. As the saying goes "it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that". Dub!!!

Be happy Melissa. You did well not to be hooked up with that flop living in Seattle.And by the way I happened to watch dancing with the stars when you were on. Must say you looked beautifully fit. Stay that way. Good luck girl.

Stupid is.....Stupid does....I am so sick about hearing about Melissa Rycroft. She is the most annoying person on this earth. I understand why Jason dumped her. 5 minutes in the room with her and he felt like he was losing his mind. Go off into the sunset with you little family and stay out of the news. Good luck to this innocent baby. She is going to need a lot of luck and prayers to live a lifetime with this idiot.....
