Nick announced the news on Instagram by sharing photos of the newborn, and her sweet name, River Rose
In it, Nick, 43, captured photos of their daughter – one capturing her peacefully sleeping in her crib, donning a pink hat with a bow on it.
Others showed the tot sporting a cozy brown long-sleeved onesie with white socks sprawled out on a white blanket.
The TV star appeared to have already bonded with his little girl, as one snap showed her sleeping on daddy’s chest, wearing a pink and blue striped hat and a blanket.
She again looked comfy while taking a nap in her car seat, rocking another adorable pink outfit, and sucking on a pink pacifier after a bath.
Nick also revealed the sweet name they chose for their baby girl in his caption.
“River Rose Viall 2-2-2024 named after Natalie’s great grandmother and niece…the best part of life starts now,” he wrote.
‘BIGGEST DREAM’
The couple first announced they were expecting in August by posting black and white photos of Nick with a hand on his fiancée’s pregnant belly.
He wore a trim back suit while his future wife donned a flowy white long-sleeved silk dress.
Natalie, 25, cradled her growing belly, showing off her massive diamond engagement ring.
They also included a photo of the child’s first ultrasound and one highlighting the surgical technologist’s stomach.

“Our biggest dream came true,” they captioned the Instagram post with a white heart emoji.
Weeks later, Nick and Natalie shared that they were having a girl via an Instagram video of the Special Forces alum popping a black balloon that released pink confetti.
The pair regularly shared their excitement about becoming parents on Nick’s podcast, Viall Files, as they awaited her January 2024 due date.
SWEET PROPOSAL
Last January, the duo celebrated their engagement after two years of dating.
Nick posted photos on Instagram from the special day and flaunted Natalie’s diamond ring.
“For the rest of my life, it’s you,” the former Bachelorette star captioned the post.
Nick and Natalie were initially linked in 2019 but didn’t go public with their relationship until December 2020.
“They’ve been dating since the beginning of COVID but have just started going public,” a source told Us Weekly in February 2021.
LOVE STORY
Nick shared their love story on his podcast, noting that they connected via social media, and Natalie made the first move.
He previously gushed over his bride-to-be in a heartfelt Instagram post.
“Many of us have hoped our path to love should be clean, pure, and without disappointment. I have been that person,” the Don’t Text Your Ex Happy Birthday author wrote.
“In reality, for many of us, our path to love is messy, dirty, and full of heartbreak.
“I consider myself truly blessed and lucky to have lived through the mess, so I can fully appreciate what I have [at] this moment. @nnataliejjoy, to me you are perfect.”
Nick continued, “You’re a protector of the people you love. Your heart outshines your incredible beauty. You radiate joy and bring so many smiles to those you get to be in your presence.
“I promise to wake up every day and choose you, us, and our family. Forever.”
