Melissa Rycroft Expecting Second Child

Melissa Rycroft Expecting Second Child, The Bachelor alum, 30, and her husband Tye Strickland are expecting their second child together, she announced Tuesday on Twitter.

“Clearly excited to share our big news!!! A new little Strickland will debut this fall!” Rycroft wrote, only to quickly correct herself with a new Tweet. “Oops … clearly not due this FALL! I meant SPRING. (Pregnancy brain at work!).”

The couple — who wed in 2009 — are already parents to 2½-year-old daughter Ava Grace.

“Sooo … It’s official, the Strickland Family is growing by one next Spring! Ava is so excited to be promoted to Big Sister! We are so excited for our new little addition!” Rycroft wrote on Facebook.

“I totally got lucky in the husband department. I’ve heard the rumors … when the baby comes it [ends up] being 90 percent the woman’s responsibility,” Rycroft has said.

“Tye’s there in the middle of the night to get up with Ava and is there when I just need a five-minute break. There is definitely that bond.”
