A few months before giving birth, Melissa shared with E! News that she feels more relaxed with this third pregnancy. Although friends would laugh at her for not having a nursery yet when the baby is almost due, she said she already knows what are needed with a newborn. She said she had learned what not stress about.
Melissa Rycroft was one of the 25 bachelorettes in "The Bachelor" season 13, competing for bachelor Jason Mesnick. She got the final rose in the season finale and Mesnick proposed to her. But things turned around and the two broke up. Mesnick said he had feelings for Molly Malaney, who was the runner-up to Melissa. Melissa got back in a relationship with Tye and they got married in 2009.
Rycroft is also a dancer and she appeared in "Dancing With the Stars" Season 8. Her partner was Tony Dovolani and they finished third. They came back for the all-stars edition and became the champion. Melissa also became the host of the live tour of "Dancing With the Stars" last year. She hosted other reality TV show as well such as "Bachelor Pad" and "Redneck Island."
