The Rivera family has been on baby watch since last week, and she was on high alert about when she would go into labor since she was 40 weeks along.

The balloon setup is adorable, and so is the little one's name.
Jacqie announced that her baby boy arrived after a long labor. " Julian Joy Campos born at 12:59 pm on 4/27/2020. ," she captioned the post on Monday. "Thanks so much to everyone for your prayers. We will be posting a picture soon. After he rests. I was in labor for ever!"
Dad Mike Campos seemed overjoyed with his son's arrival.
The happy dad shared photos of what looked like the tub they used for Jacqie's at-home water birth. He also shared the photo of the balloons on his Instagram page along with a sweet message to his son, sharing that they didn't know the sex of the baby until he was born. "Firstly I want to thank out God, because he provides strength, he provides wisdom but he gives life. We didn't know what you were until we saw some huge parts (cough cough)!! Just kidding," he quipped. "With knowing you were going to be a life, the sex never mattered. Julian Joy Campos, 8lbs 4oz, 21 inches, I love you. And God, I want to gift you many more words from now on. #myboy2."
The family celebrated their newest addition in the comments.
The Rivera clan keeps expanding, and they couldn't be happier. Jacqie's siblings flooded the comments with the sweetest messages to welcome their new nephew. The aunts and uncles wrote sweet comments, like Chiquis, who wrote, "He's perfect!" Jenicka López wrote, "My sweet baby boy!" So cute!
Jacqie's little brother celebrated baby Julian's arrival.
Juan Ángel rejoiced over the arrival of his baby nephew. "I'm an uncle again!" he wrote on his Instagram story while sharing Jacqie's announcement, along with the song "Django" by Luis Bacalov playing in the background.
Meanwhile, Jenicka was on babysitting duty.
Jacqie's little sister, Jenicka, was the one in charge of looking after the mama-to-be's older children while the new bundle of joy was on the way. "Change of scenery today with my little babies waiting for the new baby to come✨#tialifeisthebestlife," she captioned these adorable pics on Saturday, April 25. After the baby's arrival, Jenicka shared a selfie to her Instagram story on Monday, writing, "Baby boy is here. Tired but happy tia." So sweet!
Jacqie kept her fans up to date prior to the arrival.
Jacqie checked in with fans on Saturday, April 25, to let them know that she was still very much pregnant. "Hello everyone. Just checking in with you guys," she wrote along with a pic of her sitting on top of a balancing ball. "I'm still pregnant . Ive been taking these days to rest. Hopefully baby will be here soon. Amo Bye #40weekspregnant."
She was trying to induce labor last week.
Jacqie shared a photo of a salad on Thursday, April 23, and wrote that it was rumored to induce labor. "The Salad" is from Caioti Pizza Café in Studio City, California, and has been touted by pregnant women for years for inducing labor in overdue women. “The Salad” is made with a mix of greens including romaine and watercress, with walnuts and Gorgonzola cheese. The restaurant's special balsamic vinaigrette is what is rumored to kick-start the contractions.
Jacqie previously revealed she was having a home birth.
The family didn't provide many details about the birth or her labor. Jacqie previously shared her concerns about being pregnant and giving birth at this time when the current health crisis is going on in the world. A fan asked Jacqie on Instagram in March if she was opting for the possibilities of a midwife or home birth, and she confirmed she was choosing a home birth.
She announced her pregnancy in September 2019.
The reality star revealed in September 2019 that she and her husband, Michael Campos, were back together after a brief separation. Not only that, but within the first month of them reconciling, they were already expecting another child together. She is the mom to three other children, two girls and a boy–Jaylah, Jenavieve, and Jordan.
