Madlyn Ballatori and Colby Kissinger are thrilled to announce the birth of their new son, painlessly increasing their family to three boys and one girl. The couple, known for their appearance on the first season of Netflix’s The Ultimatum, announced the birth on April 22 via Madlyn Ballatori’s Instagram Stories.
Madlyn couldn’t hide her feelings in an emotional Instagram post. She posted the sweetest photo of herself cradling her baby boy on her chest, beginning the next chapter of their family. The couple’s journey to parenthood has been filled with excitement, as they are already parents to two older children: daughter Josephine “Josie,” who is 2 years old, and son Conrad, who is 19 months old.
Madlyn shared that she was seven months pregnant when filming, as she broke the news of their third baby on the way in September 2024 during the reunion. The young couple were looking forward to the birth of a little girl. Instead, they went home rejoicing with a son!

Colby said he was impressed by Madlyn’s focus in navigating pregnancy, adding, “I’m blown away, actually, by how she’s handled it.” He reinforced her toughness, likening her journey to that of his sister who had a baby recently.
“My sister recently had a baby just last year. So we got the full experience of how it works during pregnancy. And she, like, has no problems. No aches. No nothing. She is just like an absolute champ about it.” – Colby Kissinger
Their family has nearly doubled over the past few months. From February to April in 2025, they were blessed with five new additions! That’s meant even more excitement and joy to their lives with this surge in new additions being welcomed!
