"We did it!" Gries captioned a photo of herself and her little one on Instagram Tuesday night. "8lbs 4oz, 18.5 [inches], born at 6:23PM on 6/14/16."
The couple, who got married last year, named their daughter Skyla, according to Us Weekly.
Hours before Skyla was born, Gries took to Instagram and wrote while in the hospital, "It is so surreal that we are actually here! I can't wait to meet our daughter!"
Gries made national headlines for racist "jokes" and homophobic slurs on Big Brother's fifteenth season. She was a college student from San Angelo, TX, at the time and told her local newspaper in October 2013 she fell in and out of depression because so many people viewed her as a racist.
"It really opened up my eyes and shocked me... It was really hard for me because I don't have any hate in my heart for any specific race or sexuality. It's really difficult to defend yourself -- especially when you said things that were horrible," Gries explained.
Gries gave birth less than two months after Big Brother couple Rachel Reilly and Brendon Villegas welcomed a daughter named Adora.
Also in April, fellow Big Brother couple Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder announced they're pregnant with their first child, later revealing they have a son on the way.
