Arnold, 32, took to social media to share the news with her followers. In her heartfelt post, she revealed that their son was born on June 10, 2026, weighing 7 lbs and measuring 18.5 inches. The choice of the name Hayes was especially significant, with the middle name Duff honouring her father, Joshua Duff Arnold. In her post, she expressed her gratitude, sharing, “Our son blessed our lives forever” and highlighting the sentimental connection between Hayes and his grandfather.
In a touching moment, Arnold documented the first meeting between Hayes and his two older sisters, June and Sage. The video, which was accompanied by a serene instrumental music piece, showcased the enthusiasm and affection the siblings had for their new brother. “A moment we will never forget,” Arnold wrote, emphasising the emotion of this family milestone.
The excitement of welcoming baby Hayes follows Arnold’s candid updates throughout her pregnancy, which she began sharing in November 2025. Her openness about the journey resonated with fans who appreciated her honest reflections on motherhood. In a TikTok video released shortly before Hayes’ arrival, she gave viewers a glimpse into her preparations for becoming a mother of three.
While sorting through a closet filled with her daughters’ old clothing, Arnold candidly admitted her uncertainty regarding boy clothing. “Raise your hand if you are going to be a first-time boy mom in less than seven weeks and you have absolutely nothing prepared as far as boy clothing goes,” she exclaimed in the video. Her humorous acknowledgment of the situation endeared her to many, as she admitted, “Yup, that’s me.”
As Arnold sifted through the items, she revealed her intentions to donate clothes that they would not keep, reflecting on how Hayes will likely be their last child. “So, this is most likely our last baby,” she stated, which has added an emotional layer to her preparations and the memories she is creating with her growing family.
Following the birth of Hayes, Arnold has shared several moments from her life as a mother of three. The journey, although demanding, is filled with joy and gratitude.

The overwhelming support from fans and friends has clearly resonated with Arnold and her family during this special time. As they adjust to their new dynamic, Lindsay continues to document the experience, providing an authentic portrayal of motherhood that others can relate to.
As she embarks on this new adventure, it remains clear that Arnold cherishes each moment with her little ones, and with baby Hayes now a part of the family, her journey in motherhood is set to be richer than ever.
