Candace Renee Rice began Christmas Day with a very special gift this year.

The Floribama Shore star, 28, announced on Instagram over the weekend that she welcomed her son, Maxwell Michael Hardy, at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 25. The news came just days after she confirmed her pregnancy on social media as she revealed that she went into pre-term labor on Wednesday at 24 weeks.
