Meet Bachelorette Trista and Ryan’s New Baby Girl Blakesley

Former “Bachelorette” stars Trista and Ryan Sutter fell in love on TV and are now in your living room on the cover of Life & Style this week with their brand new bundle of baby joy: Blakesley Grace Sutter, born on April 3. The famous duo share their thoughts on marriage secrets, C-sections, and their baby’s name.

L&S: When Max was born, you had to be put under general anesthesia to have an emergency C-section. How were things different this time around?
Trista: “This birth was so much easier. Blakesley was born three weeks early, and I did have another C-section, but I didn’t need general anesthesia. I just walked into the hospital and put my gown on, and then my doctor came in and said, ‘Okay, it’s time.’ I didn’t know you could just walk into the delivery room, because the last time, I was wheeled in on a hospital bed.”

L&S: How did you come up with the name Blakesley?
Trista: “It’s a family name. Ryan really loved the name Grace. At first we were calling her Gracie, but then we decided to stick with Blakesley.”

L&S: You and Ryan are the only couple from the Bachelor and Bachelorette shows to make it to the altar and start a family. What’s your secret?
Trista: “You know, it’s so hard to say. I will acknowledge that it’s difficult. You meet under these crazy circumstances, and then you get separated for three months, which was super hard. And I think some people just think they’re ready and then when they see the person again, they realize those feelings just aren’t there. I didn’t set out to be the only Bachelorette to get married. I just feel lucky and blessed that my life turned out this way.”
