The star has not yet revealed her daughter's name. She also displayed her bare bump prior to giving birth as she promised more details about her bundle of joy in the future. 'I can't wait to share more details of baby girl's birth. It was so positive & magical,' she posted to her Instagram Stories. Mayci rose to fame as a member of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, a showing following MomTok, a group of glamorous Mormon influencers who were plunged into a sex scandal when Taylor Frankie Paul, one of it's members, outed herself as a swinger. It recently debuted it's second season. Last year, The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives was ranked the number one unscripted show on Hulu, becoming the streamer's biggest premiere since The Kardashians. Sparks flew between the members of the principal cast, which was made up of Taylor, Jen Affleck, Demi Engemann, Whitney Leavitt, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor. The show caused a stir both online and in the LDS church thanks to the outrageous antics of the cast. Some of the wild scenes on the show have included a sex act involving breakfast cereal, a swinging scandal, a drunken arrest, and a trip to a male strip revue in Vegas. One cast member also revealed the results of her labiaplasty on camera, while another confessed to getting pregnant to her now-husband when she was just 16 and he was 21. The series is produced by the team behind Netflix's My Unorthodox Life, which followed designer Julia Haart after leaving her strict orthodox Jewish community behind to become a hotshot in the fashion world.

Jacob, for his part, also shared a sweet photograph of himself, his wife and their latest addition, writing in his own caption: "She is gonna be loved 🩷." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Leading up to their baby's birth, Mayci and Jacob shared fun videos on social media of themselves in the hospital, recreating some viral trends. In one video, the pair danced together to YouTube star Starrkeisha's viral hit 'Baby Momma." In another, Jacob "interviews" Mayci about how she's feeling, while she lip syncs to a viral sound of Cardi B saying "I'm feeling good, I'm feeling nervous, overwhelmed, everything." Mayci exclusively announced her pregnancy with PEOPLE back in February. She previously shared her journey with in-vitro fertilization (IVF) on social media. "It's been really exciting. I think when you do IVF, it's not a fun process. Usually, you tell your friends and family that you're doing it, so there are no secrets or surprises. We decided this time not to share it with anyone, not even our family," Mayci told PEOPLE at the time. "It's been really fun being able to surprise people and have more of a normal experience as far as sharing the news. It's been really fun for us to keep it a secret a bit longer,' she continued. "My kids are so excited to have a sibling,' added the reality star. 'They already fight over whose baby it is, which is so funny. My daughter, she's like, 'It's my baby!' and my son's like, 'No, it's our baby.' They fight over who is going to change diapers and I'm like, 'Great, I've got some little helpers.' I'm excited for them, for all of us." Mayci balances her influencer life, her wellness brand Babymama and raising her family with her time as a SLOMW cast member. In season two, which premiered on Hulu in May, Mayci shared her IVF journey and pregnancy with MomTok and viewers. She was one of three women in the group who were pregnant at the same time, alongside Jennifer Affleck and Mikayla Matthews. 'Mikayla and I are best friends. We're super, super close. She told me she was pregnant over FaceTime, but she didn't know I was pregnant," Mayci previously told PEOPLE. "We were still hiding it, so it was super cool for me to be freaking out to myself. We'd talked about getting pregnant together for two years, so it was really cool that it actually happened." Still, she also found some things about filming the show while pregnant 'hard," as she explained, 'When you're pregnant, you're insecure. Your body's changing, your face is changing, and so I feel like that's a part that hasn't really hit me yet.' She added that it was 'definitely tough' to do IVF while filming.

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star gives birth to fourth child with husband
Mikayla Matthews has welcomed her fourth child with her husband Jace Terry. On Sunday afternoon, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, 25, shared the exciting news on social media and revealed she gave birth to their baby earlier this week. In her Instagram caption, she told her fans that she gave birth on Thursday, July 17 as she shared a series of photos of their first moments spent with their newborn baby in the hospital. She shared a carousel of photos of her and her husband admiring their newborn daughter and also included a snapshot of her baby's fingers holding her hand. Alongside her fourth child's date of birth, the reality TV personality — who first shared her pregnancy news on social media back in February — wrote: 'Our perfect baby girl is here.' In addition to their newest family member, she and her husband are also parents to to daughters Haven, five, Tommie, three, and son Beckham, seven. On her Instagram Story, she also shared that she had 'been keeping a secret' as she shared more photos from the first few, quiet days she and her family enjoyed with their new baby. In another slide, she said that she 'can't wait to share all the details with you guys' before sharing a teaser clip of their youngest daughter's birth story. 'We have just been so in love over here with our baby girl. She's everything we ever wanted and I'm just so happy,' she gushed over a snapshot of her cuddling with her baby. She also shared a TikTok video, sharing with her fans that she 'posted a little sneak peek of what our life has been like the last 3 days.' In her posts, her co-star Mayci Neeley also appeared to make an appearance as she is also due to give birth within the next couple of weeks. Matthews is the second to give birth this month out of the castmates as Jennifer Affleck also revealed earlier this month that she welcomed her third child. Their happy news comes shortly after it was confirmed that a third season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is in the works. Back in late February, the mother-of-four shared a video of the moment she discovered her surprise pregnancy. In her Instagram post, she wrote in her caption: 'Praying this baby heals me. So happy I [can] finally talk about this with all you guys, hahaha!' Her 'healing' comment was a reference to the chronic illness, which causes severe eczema to flare all over her body, that she's suffered from since childhood and she still hasn't received a diagnosis. 'People tell me, "Maybe this baby's gonna heal you." My fingers are crossed because I get my most anxiety about all my health stuff and giving that to my baby,' Matthews told People on Thursday. 'It's almost motivated me more to take care of my body because I'm like, "I want this baby to be as healthy as possible. I want me to be as healthy as possible."' The Leighton Meester lookalike tends to 'miss my period a lot with my health issues' and she 'didn't think I could get pregnant right now' so the couple was 'shocked' after taking the test. The influencer said she and her husband waited until she was 'about eight weeks' along before telling their three kids that they would be welcoming another little one to the family. 'We waited until after my first ultrasound to tell them,' Matthews — who plans on having six total children — recalled. 'We actually told them on the show, and they were so excited. They said Santa brought them a baby for Christmas. It was so sweet.'
