“90 Day Fiancé” stars John McManus and Meghan Brown are celebrating a joyful milestone: the arrival of their first baby together, a daughter named Rowan Elizabeth McManus.
The couple shared the exciting news exclusively with PEOPLE on Friday, Jan. 9, offering an inside look at their emotions and hopes as they begin the next chapter of their lives as parents.
Rowan made her grand entrance into the world on Friday, January 2, 2026, at 8:36 p.m., weighing 6 pounds, 7 ounces and measuring 19 inches long, according to the couple’s exclusive announcement.
For McManus and Brown, the experience has been an overwhelming blend of love, gratitude and adjustment as they welcomed their daughter into a family built under the bright lights — and close scrutiny — of reality television.
“We are beyond excited to begin this new chapter in our lives and to welcome a new member into the 90 Day Family,” the couple told PEOPLE, expressing how much Rowan’s arrival means to them.
Their exclusive gallery of photos captured tender moments with their newborn, highlighting both parents’ affection and pride as they held Rowan for the first time.
The Couple’s Journey
John and Meghan’s journey first gained widespread attention on “90 Day: The Single Life,” where viewers saw their relationship deepen and culminate in a memorable engagement during a Tell All episode in 2024 — the first time that type of commitment had happened on a televised reunion within the franchise.
The proposal itself became a standout moment for fans, featuring John down on one knee in a patterned shirt while Meghan stunned in a bright red dress; their shared joy marked a high point in their story arc.
Prior to the proposal, John moved from Las Vegas to San Antonio, Texas, to be with Meghan and her daughter River.
The transition to parenthood has added another meaningful layer to their narrative.
Both John and Meghan have spoken about how becoming parents has reshaped their perspectives and brought fresh clarity to their priorities.
While their relationship has faced its share of scrutiny from audiences, the couple’s visible support system — including family and loved ones gathering around the new parents — reflects a warm and welcoming environment for their daughter.
John soon became a fan favorite as he is the outspoken and often hilarious brother of “90 Day Fiancé” star Patrick Mendes. The two, much to the delight of fans, give their humorous take on “Pillow Talk.”
Friends & Fans Send Their Congrats on Their New Baby
Social media has been buzzing with congratulations and well-wishes following the announcement, with fans expressing excitement at Rowan’s name and celebrating the couple’s milestone.
Comments online ranged from affectionate “Welcome to the world, baby Rowan!” posts to supportive messages applauding John and Meghan’s commitment to one another and to their new family.
Fellow “90 Day” star Tyray Mollet commented, “Congrats!! So happy for you two.”
“Love John! Congratulation on the birth of your precious baby girl,” one user wrote.
Chantel Everett shared a series of heart eye emojis to show her happiness for her fellow cast member.
