Influencer Sue Rose Welcomes Baby No. 5 With Husband Josh Vida: It Feels ‘Like a Dream’

Influencer Sue Rose has given birth to her fifth child, a baby girl, with husband Josh Vida.

Rose told People on Saturday, June 20, that she went into induced labor on Tuesday, June 16, welcoming daughter Melody Gisela Rose.

“After four boys, we are having a girl, and she has made sure to stand out,” the influencer told the outlet. “I always went into labor on my own, but I had developed gestational hypertension and my doctors surprised me with an induction date.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, gestational hypertension is when a pregnant person experiences high blood pressure after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

“We were nervous, since I had never been induced, but the process and delivery couldn’t have been better and welcoming our little girl into this world has felt like a dream,” she added.

Melody, who was originally due in July, weighed 6 pounds and 4 ounces at birth. In an Instagram Story on Sunday, June 20, Rose revealed that the little one’s middle name — Gisela — is inspired by her grandmother. “She passed away and I’ve always wanted to honor her in that way because she was such a big part of my life!” Rose wrote.

Rose and Vida are already parents to four boys: Leander, Mason, Jayden and Charlie.

Rose announced her pregnancy with baby no. 5 back in December, telling People, “We have four beautiful boys and last year, we just happened to put a baby onesie underneath the tree. This Christmas, our wish is coming true.”

“We went from a long distance (Germany to the U.S.) to creating a beautiful family of now soon to be 7. Baby 5 is due in 2026 in July, and we couldn’t be happier to grow our family!” she said at the time.

In February, Rose revealed the “surreal” news that she and Vida would be welcoming their first girl.

“We honestly still can’t believe that we’re having a girl after four boys. At my last doctor’s appointment, my own doctor even told me ‘the odds were against us,’ so this just feels surreal,” she said.

“I grew up always seeing myself as a girl mom, then we became parents to the most loving and amazing boys that treat me like a queen, and we are just so excited for them to be big brothers to a sister, as all [of the] boys always have asked for a sister,” Rose added.

The influencer shared, “Josh and I are super excited to step into the ‘girl parents’ world and have that dream come true. She definitely completes the family!”
