Just 14 months after the birth of their first son Rex Timothy, The Biggest Loser couple Matt and Suzy Hoover welcomed their second son, Jax Paul, on Thursday evening at Valley Medical Hospital in Seattle, WA, according to People.
Jax weighed in at 7.5 lbs. and measured 18.75 inches in length.
"We're so excited to add a new member to our family!" Matt said. "We're adding another healthy Hoover to our family and look forward to raising both boys in a healthy way with information we learned on the show."
Matt and Suzy, both 29, met as contestants on The Biggest Loser's second season in 2005. Matt began the competition weighing 339 lbs. while Suzy weighed 227 lbs. Following the filming of the competition -- which Matt won by shedding 182 lbs. and Suzy finished as second runner-up by losing 95 lbs. -- the two revealed that they had secretly become a couple during the show.
In March 2006, Matt, a former wrestling coach, proposed to the Suzy live on the air while appearing on NBC's The Today Show. Six months later they formally tied the knot at a beachside ceremony conducted in Jamaica.
