On Sunday, December 27, the former yachtie announced that he and his boyfriend, Michael Groves, are expanding their family. They’re now the proud parents to their new dog, River. The couple has been looking to adopt for a while now. And now their dreams came true around the holidays.

Josiah appeared as a stew during Season 6 of Below Deck. He quickly became a fan-favorite thanks to his friendship with Kate Chastain. Yesterday, Josiah took to Instagram to share their announcement.

“WE’RE OFFICIALLY PARENTS!!” he exclaimed on Instagram. “Earlier than planned this little ball of fluff joined our family today! Everyone meet ‘River’ our lovely Sproodle (Springer Spaniel x Poodle).”

In his post, he included a collection of photos of himself with his new fur baby. Also, he started a new Instagram account for River.
