She joked about her belly on The Today Show, saying: “I’m holding my stomach and I don’t have to hold it in anymore.
“We really enjoy having kids. Calvin and Ollie, they’re so much fun. And we’re like, ‘Let’s try for a third.’ And it wasn’t happening so we said, ‘Let’s forget it, let’s move on.’ And then, of course, surprise!”
When did Dylan Dreyer have her baby?
On September 28, 2021, it was announced on Instagram that Dylan was in hospital after her water had broken six weeks early.
“Just a little update as you won’t be seeing me on @todayshow or @3rdhourtoday for a while,” Dylan penned on the app.
“My water broke Sunday evening and I’ve been hanging at the hospital. Our little guy is anxious to get out and meet us! Doctors are closely monitoring both of us and trying to keep him on the inside for a little while longer to get stronger. All is well! I’m in great hands and I have the best person to keep me calm and comfortable.”
On September 29, 2021, Dylan gave birth to her third child, a boy named Russell James Fichera. The baby arrived early morning, weighing 5 pounds, 5 ounces and measuring 18 inches long.
