Yes, it actually happened.

Long-time ladies man and Rock 100.5 morning host "Southside" Steve Rickman settled down a few years ago with Amanda and today, she gave birth to their son Brooks.

Per tradition, on Facebook, he provided their son's specs: 7.37 pounds and 21 inches at 11:52 a.m. today after a whopping 27 hours of labor. "Thank God for our amazing gift we'll love forever," he wrote, followed by his signature line "Yeah C'mon!"
