Reality Star Paola Mayfield Welcomed Baby Boy Just After Midnight on New Year’s Day

The “90 Day Fiancé” star and her husband, Russ Mayfield, announced on Instagram, “Baby Axel was born January 1, 2019 at 12:22 AM, measuring 22 inches in length, and weighing in at 7 lbs and 5 oz.”

Paola shared their first family photo with the message, “What an amazing way to start the new year, while I was hearing the fireworks and people telling me 'happy new year,' I was just focused on meeting my baby boy.”

She continued, “Our little miracle is so beautiful and calm. I feel so blessed and I can't believe I am a mom now! I'm ready to start this new adventure and to be the best mom for baby Axel. I'm so proud of my husband, he was there for me the entire time, I couldn't have done it without you @russ_mayfield.”

Mayfield added, “The joy I feel is indescribable, I've never felt so happy in my life. Axel has become my whole world and I'm so in love with him. Thank you all for supporting us and “patiently” waiting to finally meet him! We are so blessed!”

Paola had documented her pregnancy on Instagram since announcing the happy news in July. One of her most recent posts featured the star and her baby bump in a bathtub covered in snacks like popcorn, fries, and Oreos as she ate a hamburger. She joked in the caption, “When people call me fat and here I am wondering why? I know I've been so good with my diet.”
