Fletcher revealed that Romy, whose full name is Romy Blair Rodgers, was born at 5:37 p.m.
“You are our whole world,” wrote Fletcher, concluding that she was “soaking up these moments as a new family of three plus two.” The “plus two” serves as a nod to the two dogs Fletcher and Rodgers share together.
