Crawley and husband Ryan Dawkins welcomed their first baby together, daughter Rowen Lily, in January 2024 via surrogate. She confirmed the exciting news on her Instagram Story.
Sharing a video on her way to meet her baby girl, she showed the snowy roadsides and wrote, “Feels like a good day to have a baby!”
Crawley shared another update 14 hours later, sharing a photo where she and Dawkins hug while dressed in hospital scrubs. “She’s here! Healthy + beyond loved,” she wrote. “Dream come true.”
A month after welcoming their little one, the reality star told PEOPLE she’s “so proud” of the way her baby entered the world, calling her surrogate “like family.”
“I wanted every step of this process to bring little Rowen into this world very thought out and very planned,” Crawley said. “We wanted our surrogate to be a part of her life forever, to know her story. This is a part of her story and a part of how she got brought into this world. She’s like family to us.”

Crawley, who tied the knot with Dawkins in February 2023, has been very open about her surrogacy journey as a way to help others and “encourage people to look at it as an option if they’re struggling.”
“I wanted to share this process on social media going through surrogacy because I want people out there who are dealing with infertility to know,” she said. “There are so many different ways to become a mom and at the end of the day, I’m sitting here rocking and holding my little baby girl and that is the end goal.”
“If it wasn’t for surrogacy, I wouldn’t be sitting here holding my baby,” she added.
As she settled into her first month of motherhood, Crawley told PEOPLE becoming a mom has been “heavenly.”
