Nia Sanchez and her husband Daniel Booko are now a family of six!
On Thursday, June 5, The Valley couple, 35 and 41 years old, respectively, welcomed their fourth child into the world, announcing the precious news on Instagram.
The new family member is a baby girl named Adelaide.
"Sweet little memories from Adelaide’s first moments of life. 💕✨," Nia wrote on Instagram, where she posted a carousel of photos from the hospital. "We are absolutely in love! Birth story coming soon. 🫶🏽"
The former Miss USA and her spouse are already parents to toddler Asher and twins Isabelle and Zariah, who arrived on Father’s Day 2023.

Sanchez opened up about Adelaide after giving birth, telling Us Weekly, “The first moments with baby No. 4 felt so sweet and intimate.”
“In our previous birth experiences, we’ve had a lot more people in the room. And we’ve always had a doula. This time, it was just us with our doctor and two nurses. This birth was extra special because Danny was able to deliver the baby,” she said.
Their Valley costar Kristen Doute, who is due any day now, congratulated the couple on her Instagram Stories.
“We love you!! So excited for baby girl!!” the 42-year-old wrote.
Photos shared in the article showed Sanchez posing with her newborn with them both still in the hospital. The mother of four was all smiles as she held Adelaide.
Another picture showed the proud father joining his girls for a sweet snap.
“Her middle name is Nicole, which is Nia’s mom’s name,” the couple told Us Weekly. “We wanted to honor her because she has been such a pivotal part of helping us raise our children.”

Their little one's first name was inspired by Nia’s Mexican great-grandmother named Adelaida. They also chose the name because “Adelaide” means noble and kind.
Sanchez and Booko spoke exclusively to PEOPLE in April at the season 2 premiere of their Bravo reality show, admitting then that they had not settled on a name yet.
"We have just over two months left, and we still don't have a name,” Sanchez said, adding, “And we like to choose our names early as possible.”
“So we're both kind of struggling that we don't have a name yet,” she continued.
And while the couple couldn’t decide at the moment, Asher was there to help.

“Asher’s suggestion is ‘Little Dolly,’ and he is not straying away from that,” Booko said, noting that he and his family might use the suggestion as “a nickname.”
Sanchez has been open about her pregnancy journey, from doctors once deeming her as infertile to discussing complications while expecting her twins.
"On our fertility journey, we went to a fertility doctor, [and] that's when I was diagnosed as having unexplained infertility," she explained during an April The Valley confessional. "Unexplained infertility is when they look at your ovaries. They look at your uterus. Everything is fine, so doctors are like, 'There's nothing wrong with you. You are infertile. We just don't know why.'"
"It took us over a year and a half to get pregnant the first time," Sanchez said, recalling “the disappointment every single month that you're praying for a baby and it's not coming.”
Now that the couple has safely delivered their fourth child, she tells Us Weekly her other children are already in love with Adelaide.
“They always want to hold her and sing songs to her,” she said proudly. “They are already great older siblings!”
