Tanner, 33, revealed Saturday on his Instagram Stories Baby No. 3 arrived at 5:33AM.
"Mama and Baby Boy doing great," Tanner shared.
And Jade posted a photo of herself with the newborn on her own Instagram account, writing, "He's here and he's perfect."
While neither Jade or Tanner disclosed the baby boy's name, Jade teased how she will "share all the magic" and her "birth story" with fans at a later date.
"Right now we are soaking in all these beautiful, new moments. Thank you for all the love and support and for holding space for our little family in your hearts. I'm one grateful mama," Jade wrote on Instagram.
Jade and Tanner's little bundle of joy joins the couple's 15-month-old son Brooks Easton and three-year-old daughter Emerson "Emmy" Avery.
After Jade delivered her son, Tanner uploaded an image of himself holding the baby above Jade's birthing pool as she sat in the water and smiled at the camera. When this photo was taken, the infant's umbilical cord was still attached.
"Officially outnumbered! [three baby emojis]," Tanner captioned the post along with three baby emojis.

"You might ask why I've got this kiddie pool set up in our bedroom and a tarp on our bed. And Jade, how you doing in there baby?" Tanner asked in a video, according to People.
Referencing how Jade gave birth to Brooks in her master closet, Jade replied with a laugh, "Made it out of the closet!"
"Not in a closet this time. Water just broke. Baby will be here some time," Tanner reported continued in his post, later adding, "Say goodbye to the bump baby. We'll see you soon little man!"
And on Sunday, Jade shared an adorable photo of her three kids on social media.
"Emmy can't get enough baby snuggles. We all love him so very much, even Brooksy laughs and smiles at him!" Jade wrote alongside the photo.
"I love how when a new baby enters the family, it feels like they've always been here and life before them doesn't even seem imaginable anymore. He's absolutely meant to be ours."
Jade and Tanner, who fell in love on Season 2 of Bachelor in Paradise, announced Jade's third pregnancy -- which was unplanned and unexpected -- in May and revealed the baby's sex in July.
"We are SO excited and thankful to be welcoming a healthy baby boy into our family!" Jade told E! News at the time.

"I'm so grateful," she added, "and I'm so happy we decided to find out before the baby is born. It gives me something to look forward to and I feel even more bonded to him now."

Jade and Tanner said they already had a name picked out for their third child this past summer, but Jade recently asked her followers on Instagram for middle-name suggestions.
"All I can think about is holding you, sweet baby! Ready when you are," Jade said not long before going into labor.
"Friends, drop me your favorite middle names in the comments, please! We have a couple in mind, but I would love some inspiration, too!"
Jade and Tanner got engaged during the Season 2 finale of Bachelor in Paradise in Summer 2015 and then tied the knot in January 2016 for a televised special on ABC.
They later appeared on Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars that same year.
After initially living in the Kansas City area and building a home there, the couple later moved to the Los Angeles area.
Jade initially competed for Chris Soules' heart on The Bachelor's nineteenth season, while Tanner first appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe's edition of The Bachelorette.
