Laura Bennett, a finalist on the third season of Bravo’s “Project Runway,” has welcomed her sixth child, a boy named Finn, a Bravo spokeswoman confirmed Monday.

The baby was born Friday in Manhattan to Bennett and her husband, Peter Shelton, who runs a design firm, Bravo’s Bonita Lynch told The Associated Press. He weighed 8 pounds, Lynch said.

Bennett, 43, known for her glamorous evening wear, discovered she was pregnant while shooting the fashion reality show. She has four sons — Peik, 10; Truman, 7; Pierson, 4; and Larson, 3 with Shelton. She also has an 18-year-old daughter, Cleo, from a previous marriage.

Jeffrey Sebelia, who was often the poster designer for bad behavior on “Runway,” won the show’s most recent edition. Bennett had accused him of outsourcing the construction of his designs for New York Fashion Week. He was later cleared of any wrongdoing.
