Samantha Harris welcomes daughter Josselyn Sydney
Dancing With the Stars and E! News co-host Samantha Harris, 33, and her husband Michael Hess welcomed their first child, a daughter, early this morning in Los Angeles.
Josselyn Sydney arrived a few weeks early, weighing in at 6 lbs, 12 oz and 20 inches when she made her debut at 1:49 am. Needless to say, Samantha will be missing the DWtS premiere tomorrow evening, despite her best intentions! In a statement, Samantha said,
Michael and I are ecstatic to have a little girl to welcome into ourlives. We can’t wait to introduce her to ourfamily and friends in the morning!
The pair announced the pregnancy in April and chose not to find out the sex until delivery. Click here for the pregnancy diary Samantha kept for Fitness magazine.

Congrats to them, and that’s a decent normal name. I like sydney better than josselyn actually, just my opinion. On anther note I’m happy she won’t be on DWTS, she tends to annoy me on that show lol.

How sweet! I love the name. So happy for them. I was under the impression she would have a boy…I was wrong. I can’t wait to see little Josselyn.

Congrats Samantha and Michael. I really love the name they chose. I wonder who will co-host DWTS tomorrow night, I’d heard possibly Drew Lachey would be substituting, but I haven’t heard anything confirmed, yet.

Yay! Congrats to her! Girls are the best! I was so hoping for a girl for myself (which I got
) but I couldn’t wait 9 months in anticipation like Samantha…

Girl deliveries are running wild!
And I love what she and Michael named her. So cute! Congratulations to them!

Should be spelled Jocelyn. The twist reminds me of Joss Stone. Probably going to be her nickname.
September 26th, 2007 at 2:13 pm
Jenn~ Joss Stone’s name is Joscelyn Eve Stoker… so you could be right. IF they choose to use a nickname. I think the spelling is just as cute as any of the other potential ways to spell it. I have a 20 yr. old that is named Alexandria. If she is called Alex by someone, she politely corrects them. Congratulations to S&M.

I have a Joselyn in class (I’m a teacher) and she goes by Josie. I think it’s a cute name!
