Bachelor in Paradise stars Thomas Jacobs and Becca Kufrin went from reality show lovers to proud parents! The couple has just welcomed their first child together and shared the exciting news with fans on social media. 

Over the weekend, Kufrin’s fiancé posted a new photo on Instagram, which shows the front porch of the pair’s home. While displaying their outdoor fall decor, the door to the house featured a welcome mat that read, “Baby sleeping, please don’t ruin this for us,” in bold letters. 

But, that’s not all. Sitting next to the door was a sign that had the words, “Shhh... baby is sleeping,” written on the front. In the caption, Jacobs simply wrote, “Home.” Jacobs also included a blue heart emoji, hinting that they had a boy.

Bachelor Nation fans congratulated the happy couple in the comments section, with one person writing, “Sending the biggest congrats & hugs!!” Another follower chimed in and said, “I am so happy for the both of you.”

Just minutes ago, the couple shared a first-glimpse photo of their baby boy along with a name reveal: Benson Lee Jacobs Kufrin. The caption read: “No amount of words can begin to capture the amount of love and awe we have over this tiny man. We are forever changed with this one’s abundance and can’t believe we are parents to this gift.”

The message continued, “Benson, Benny for short, is after the town where my father was born and raised. Lee is for Thomas’s father who sacrifices so much for this country and others. And Jacobs Kufrin is pretty self-explanatory but we wanted both parts of us to make this little one whole [red heart emoji]. Now we’re off to go cry again over how much we love him.”

Kufin met Jacobs on the seventh season of Bachelor in Paradise in August 2021. Though the couple broke up during the season finale, the pair rekindled their romance and later got engaged in 2022.  

Congrats, you two!
