DeAnna Pappas, Former 'Bachelorette' Star, Welcomes Baby Girl
DeAnna Pappas Stagliano, who once appeared on ABC's "The Bachelorette," welcomed a baby girl with her husband Stephen Stagliano this week.
"Can't begin to explain the joy I have w/ my baby girl," Pappas posted to Twitter on Monday, just days after her child's arrival. "Perfect husband & perfect baby. I'm very lucky. Thank u all 4 the tweets! #fullheart"
The 32-year-old new mom appeared on season 11 of "The Bachelor" with Brad Womack in 2007, but was not selected after the final rose ceremony. However, Pappas was tapped to star on the fourth season of "The Bachelorette" the following year, but the television series still did not produce a successful relationship. A few years later, in an unusual turn of events, Pappas fell in love with Stagliano whose brother was a contestant on season 5's "The Bachelorette."
