SEATTLE, Wa. --
“Biggest Loser” alumni Matt & Suzy Hoover, both 32, welcomed their second child on Thursday, People reported.
Suzy reportedly gave birth to son Jax Paul at Valley Medical Hospital in Seattle. Jax joins older brother Rex Timothy, 14 months, and reportedly weighed in at 7.6 pounds and measured 18.75 inches.
“We’re so excited to add a new member to our family!” Matt told People. “We’re adding another healthy Hoover to our family and look forward to raising both boys in a healthy way with information we learned on the show.”
Matt & Suzy met on the second season of “The Biggest Loser” in 2005, which Matt won after dropping over 150 pounds.
The couple began dating soon after, with Matt proposing to Suzy live on NBC’s “Today” show in March 2006. They wed in September of that year in Jamaica.
But where did they get the name for their new baby?
“Our first son is named Rex, and that was unique and we wanted something that sounded similar that was also unique,” Matt said.
The former wrestling coach won’t just be sharing his life lessons with his sons. Matt has a diet and fitness manual, “Matt Hoover’s Guide to Life, Love and Losing Weight,” out Sept. 23.
Meanwhile, other families will follow in the Hoovers’ workout footsteps as NBC’s “The Biggest Loser: Families” premieres on Tuesday, Sept. 16.
