Stephanie Anderson of ‘Biggest Loser’ fame gave birth to a baby boy last week, two months after filing for divorce from Sam Poueu, another alum of the weight loss reality show.
Her newborn son Dillon arrived at 1:42 a.m. on July 18, weighing 8 lbs. 10 oz. and measuring 20-1/2 inches long.
When Stephanie, a contestant on the ninth season of the NBC show, was seven months pregnant she discovered that her husband of one year had been unfaithful. They reportedly tried couples counseling but have opted to move forward with a divorce.
Anderson, 33, announced in May, “It is with great sadness that my marriage to Sam Poueu is ending. Thank you in advance for respecting our privacy during this difficult time.”
Stephanie was eliminated from season 9 of ‘Biggest Loser’ during week 11. Her love interest at the time, Sam Poueu, was sent home during week 16. At the season finale on May 25, 2010 it was announced that the California contestants were in a serious relationship. They wed two years later.
We checked the Twitter page of the baby daddy and discovered that he tweeted on the day after the arrival of his newborn infant, “I.Love.YOU.SON.”
He recently told PEOPLE, “We are excited to be blessed as his parents and are focusing all of our energy and attention on doing what is best for his future. He is the most important person right now to both of us.”
Now that the child has arrived, Sam changed his Avatar to a photo of himself cradling Dillon on his chest.
It remains unclear what type of custody arrangement will be sanctioned by a judge as the divorce proceeds through the court system.
