Former “Dancing with the Stars” and “Bachelor” contestant Melissa Rycroft is pregnant with her first child.

The 27-year-old reality star and her husband, Tye Strickland, 29, were married in December.

Due in February, Rycroft says starting a family was the last thing on her mind.   “It was a shock.  We weren’t trying,” she tells Us Weekly.  “It’s the most wonderful surprise in the world.  It’s such a blessing.”

Melissa will be co-hosting the upcoming reality show “The Bachelor Pad” on ABC.
