Their little one was supposed to arrive later this month, but he came a bit earlier then planned. This is the couple's third child together after sons Israel David, 7, and Samuel Scott, 5. "'Freddy' Frederick Michael Dillard is here! He was born 7/7/2022 at 5:16pm weighing 7lbs. 6oz. and is 20 inches long. Frederick means 'Peaceful Ruler' and Michael means 'Gift from God,'" a statement on the Dillard Family blog read. "The name Frederick also holds special meaning for us since it's Derick's name with 'Fre' added to the front, to make 'Fre-derick.' Similarly, Derick's name is a variation of his late dad's name, Rick, that his parents created by adding 'de' to the front of Rick to spell, 'de'-'rick,' literally meaning son 'of' (de) Rick."

Jill and Derick, 33, unveiled the first photos of Freddy on July 21. To start, they posted a picture of the infant resting in a crib. The longtime couple, who have been married since 2014, shared a snap of their three sons wearing T-shirts that read "Big," "Middle" and "Little."
