Challenge Couple Jenna Compono And Zach Nichols Welcome First Child

Parenthood challenge accepted: Jenna Compono and Zach Nichols are officially mom and dad to Baby Nichols!


The Challenge couple just welcomed their first child, a son Anthony on September 2. Us Weekly was first to report the news.


"We would love to introduce our baby boy Anthony Joseph Nichols, place on Earth on September 2nd 2021 at 8:52 PM," Jenna captioned the album above. "He weighed 8 pounds 14 oz and was 21.5 inches."


“Well, Zach got to be able to see him before me as soon as he contained my leg and watched him come out,” Jenna instructed them magazine about the birth. “But once he was put on my chest and we both got to be able to see him, it was astonishing. WE made this adorable little life. It’s truly the ideal feeling ever. We haven’t put him down once yet; we are fully obsessed."


"She made pregnancy look easy; she barely skipped a beat," Zach added. "Watching her go into labor, and then deliver our son was the most impressive things I’ll ever witness, and the happiest moment of my life. Yet in the event you were to ask me in August 2014 if I thought that hot blonde I met in Panama with the tasty bum would one day be the one to prepare me a dad, I would’ve laughed in your face. Nevertheless, here we are with this astonishing life and cute baby boy, and maybe that’s the most impressive part of."


How did they pick their firstborn's moniker?


“We hard time choosing a name to come up with,” Jenna revealed to Us. "Our interests in names were fully opposite. We wanted to go more long-established for our son so we chose Anthony, which is both of our fathers’ middle names."


The Battle of the Exes II sweethearts reported on Valentine's Day that they were going to meet their "little one" in August 2021 and added they were "truly blessed." While Zach thought Jenna was expecting a mini #BarbieBeast, her premonition that it was a boy proved to be correct once they saw blue at a gender reveal bash in March. Number of a day or two later, the two mentioned "I do" while in "a mini personalized wedding" in Michigan (their "big one" will take place in April 2022). And right now a future Challenger is willing to take the field -- in 20-plus years!
