Bartise announced the baby's birth over the weekend.
The new dad sent shockwaves through his fanbase on Instagram Saturday, posting a series of photos and videos of himself and his newborn son.
"Might've been the villain on TV, but I'm gonna be the hero for him," he captioned the carousel, which had more than 47,000 likes by Monday morning. "Instagram, meet my little man."
The 27-year-old has broken some hearts while on the series.
Fans may remember the new dad for some of his less flattering moments on the series, especially when he developed a love connection with Nancy Rodriguez and Raven Ross while in the pods.
In the end, Bartise chose to propose to Nancy, but backed out of the marriage at the altar. Fans later saw him getting into even more shenanigans on Netflix's competition reality series, Perfect Match.
Fans are confused about the details of Bartise's relationship with the mother of his son.
While some people quickly congratulated the reality star, others were left questioning the timeline of Bartise's relationship.
"The math ain't mathing," one person wrote. "He did two shows back-to-back, wouldn't that mean he left girl pregnant at home to go find someone else on a dating show?"
Another called out the hypocrisy of walking away from Nancy because of concerns with making a long-term commitment. "Goes from not ready to commit to 18 years, she got you for 18 years," the commenter wrote.
People also wanted to know exactly who Bartise ended up with.
There was no shortage of questions, with another person hilariously asking someone to tag them "when you find out who the mom is."
In Touch Weekly didn't take them up on their offer, but did go ahead and do some sleuthing to find out who the new woman in Bartise's life is. The magazine reports that it obtained court records that show Olivia Gross as the mother of the reality star's son Aiden.

Aiden was born a few months ago.
It sounds like Aiden made his grand entrance into the world on December 27, 2022, which means that the timeline of Bartise and Oliva's relationship may have had some overlap with his time spent filming Perfect Match in Panama during March 2022.
We're sure we'll learn more about Aiden and Olivia when Bartise is ready to share, but we can't help but wonder what this means for his time on Netflix.
