Adrienne Wright has been cooking up something special in the months since she competed in Season 16 of Bravo’s Top Chef in which she placed fifth. The Cheftestant announced in January that she was expecting her first child with husband Brad Wright.

Now the big day has finally arrived. Adrienne welcomed son Dylan Thomas Wright at 6:16 pm on May 23, she announced on Instagram in a beautiful new photo of the family of four (Adrienne, Brad, Dylan, and dog Savannah).

It was easy to see Adrienne's excitement about becoming a mom as she kept fans updated on her pregnancy journey in the months following her announcement. She always looked absolutely radiant while proudly showing off her baby bump.

One way Adrienne, who is the executive chef of Boston Urban Hospitality, prepped for motherhood was by creating some pretty paintings for her baby's nursery. "We are very excited!" Adrienne gushed on Instagram in April.
