Ben Higgins is giving a closer look at his newborn baby girl.
On Thursday, Feb. 13, the former Bachelor star, 35, posted a series of photos on Instagram as he introduced his newborn daughter to the world. In the carousel, Higgins added solo shots of his daughter, as well as photos of her with Higgins and his wife Jess Clarke.
"First, I did not realize I could be more in love and more impressed with @jessclarke_ but after the last 48 hours my heart has exploded for her and our new baby girl," he wrote in his caption. "Winona (Winnie for short if she’s ok with it) Elane Higgins was born at 2:53 am on 2/12."
"Words still are hard for me, I won’t accurately articulate what just happened. But for the last 2 mornings I wake up feeling like it was a dream, reminding myself of the blessings of Jesus, then looking over to see Jessica and Winona and being mentally reunited with the truth that I am a dad and a husband and that we are a family."
"Life starts again for us, a new chapter we enter into, and so many moments of lacking the words but feeling God inspired love," Higgins added.
On Wednesday, Feb. 12, Higgins shared that he and his wife had welcomed their first baby together, posting the news on Instagram.
"Update and more to come, but baby girl Higgins has entered the world," Higgins wrote next to a photo of himself looking emotional as he stared at his newborn daughter. Clarke held their baby as she lay in a hospital bed.
"She is healthy. @jessclarke_ is doing so well. I don’t yet have words for what just happened but the update right now is we have a daughter and Jess is recovering so well. The nurses and doctors who cared for us should be lifted high," Higgins wrote.
The reality star said that while he is "biased," his "baby girl" is "real beautiful."
Being that her face was covered with an emoji he added, "this beauty will be revealed soon but first she needs a bath."
In August, the couple announced that Clarke was pregnant and expecting a girl in a heartfelt Instagram Reel.
"The next chapter of our love story! Baby girl coming in February ❤️," the pair captioned the video, teasing the baby's due date.
