UsWeekly is reporting today that former Bachelor star Melissa Rycroft Is Pregnant!

Melissa, who tied the knot with hubby Tye Strickland last December, confirms the good news to the magazine.  “It was a shock. We weren’t even trying,” says Melissa, who is due in February.

“It’s the most wonderful surprise in the world,” she adds. “It’s such a blessing.”  Melissa, who was famously dumped by then fiance Jason Mesnick on national television last year, has since had her streak of good fortune.  She appeared on Dancing With The Stars last year and is now set to co-host the upcoming Bachelor Pad which debuts August 9th.

Melissa also credits hubby Tye, 29, with helping her stay calm, saying she can’t imagine having a child with anyone else.  “He’s actually cried more than I have,” she tells Us. “Tye is caring, he’s funny. He’s going to be a great dad.”

As for the sex of the baby, Melissa who just bought a new home near Dallas with Tye, says she’s hoping for a boy while Tye wants a girl. “We’re going to find out as soon as we can,” she adds.
