Melissa told OK! in an exclusive interview weeks before she gave birth that she was excited, but had to work on keeping Tye calm!
"We had our first 'is this it or isn't it' moment, and I realized that Tye is not going to remain calm when the moment does come," Melissa, host of Bachelor Pad, revealed.
We hope he stayed strong for his wife!
