Miracle baby! One year after Erin Bates revealed health complications that could possibly prevent her from expanding her family, the Bringing Up Bates star has given birth to baby No. 5.
The reality star, 30, shared a photo from the hospital on Monday, January 17, calling it “baby day,” before announcing the little one’s name as Finley Marie Paine via her hashtag.
One day later, Bates debuted her and husband Chad Paine’s fifth child via her Instagram Story. “Madly in love,” she captioned a snap of the newborn baby girl snuggled up against her chest on Tuesday, January 18.
The TV personality also posted a photo of her husband, 34, massaging her foot as she sat in her hospital bed. “I love him. A lot,” she wrote via social media.
Their daughter’s arrival came just hours after UPtv announced on Tuesday that Bringing Up Bates would no longer be returning to the network for season 11.
“We will not be premiering Bringing Up Bates season 11 on UPtv as planned as we will be focusing our programming in 2022 on movies and a new scripted series to be announced soon,” the network said in a statement to Us Weekly. “When we premiered Bringing Up Bates, the series was focused on parents with 19 kids who were teenagers and young children. The cameras were there to capture the love, laughs and big life moments, as the family continued to grow.”
UPtv concluded: “Thank you to the fans who tuned in every Thursday night to be part of the journey. We’re looking forward to continuing to uplift you with our programming in the future.”
Bates, who appeared on the series for 10 seasons, previously announced her pregnancy news in August 2021 with an Instagram baby bump debut. “YES!!! We ARE EXPECTING … and still pinching ourselves to see if it’s real!”
