Becca Kufrin and her fiancé Thomas Jacobs have officially welcomed their first child — a baby boy — and excitedly shared the big news on Instagram on Saturday.
The 33-year-old Bachelorette star, who announced her pregnancy in early April this year, posted a sweet picture that was originally shared by the 30-year-old Bachelor In Paradise star.
In the photo, he took a quick snapshot while standing on the autumn-decorated porch.
On the mat in front of the door was written: “Baby sleeping.” Please don’t ruin this for us.’ In the post’s caption, he simply typed “Home,” followed by a blue heart emoji.
In his stories, he uploaded the same image and wrote additional text at the bottom saying, “Grateful.” Blessed. Love beyond words.’
Big news! Becca Kufrin, 33, and her fiancé, Thomas Jacobs, 30, have officially welcomed their first child — a baby boy — and excitedly shared the big news on Instagram on Saturday.

Becca reposted the picture to her own Instagram Stories and typed, “I’m taking in all the love and cuddles for now but we have a new little pumpkin,” followed by a yellow heart emoji.
The happy couple first revealed in April this year that they were expecting their first child together.
At the time, the couple shared a joint post that included a slideshow of pictures of them posing with ultrasounds while their two adorable dogs also took part in the photo session.
“The party of 5 is coming in September 2023. Little Bebe, we can’t wait to meet you, hold you and watch you grow.” “We love you to the moon and back already – mom and dad,” Becca and Thomas wrote to their fans and followers.
The following month, Kufrin announced they were becoming parents to a boy, releasing a short, gender-bending clip of Jacobs hitting a ball that bursts into blue powder. “It’s a… LITTLE TOMMY,” the TV personality wrote.
A few months earlier, in July, the couple threw a lavish baby shower in their hometown of Prior Lake, Minnesota.
The theme of the party was “Starry Night”. “Baby showered with so much love.” “We love you to the moon and back little man,” Kufrin wrote via Instagram.
“Thank you to all our friends and family who spent the day with us. Words cannot express how full and happy our hearts are. Love you all!’

The shower was attended by the couple’s loved ones, including Becca’s mother Jill Kufrin and Thomas’ mother Lisa Jacobs.
Thomas also shared snaps from the baby shower on his Instagram page, captioning the post: “Bet the first taste of a Minnesota summer.”
And Becca wasn’t letting her fiancé get away with it lightly and wanted him to understand what she was going through.
“OK, I’ve decided since I’m obviously heavily pregnant, we’re going to put Thomas to the test at my baby shower today,” she said on her Instagram Stories. “OK, so we got the watermelon, some melons and the saran wrap.”
Becca secured the melons to Thomas’ stomach and chest using the saran wrap to mimic the weight she carries around at the stage of her pregnancy.
“I’m trying on the stomach to test the size,” Becca jokingly captioned a picture of Thomas playing cornhole with the watermelons still attached to his body.
The lovebirds first crossed paths in 2021 while filming the seventh season of Bachelor In Paradise. Although Becca and Thomas went their separate ways in the season finale, they later reunited and rekindled their romance.
In May 2022, Becca asked Thomas the big question and revealed on social media that he said “yes.” However, the two became engaged a second time when Jacobs proposed in October later that same year.

Last June, Kufrin opened up about her proposal to Jacobs in an interview with Us Weekly.
‘[Thomas] is truly the most adventurous, fun and easy-going man. But what I think makes this relationship with him different is that he really is the one person [I’ve been with] who our values and morals correspond to,” she enthused.
“Yes, we are engaged and have talked about what our marriage will look like, what a future with children will look like and what we want our family dynamic to look like.”
Becca continued, “He’s the first man who really agrees with me about how we want to raise our children, what morals and values we want to instill in them.”
A romance sparked: The lovebirds’ paths crossed for the first time in 2021 while filming the seventh season of “Bachelor In Paradise”. The “same side”: Becca continued: “He’s the first guy who really agrees with me – the way we want.” Raise our children, what morals and values do we want to instill in them?
“He’s also the first guy that makes me think, ‘Actually, I want to spend my whole life with you.’ I want to start planning the wedding and do all the things that in the past made me think, ‘Oh no.’ , that’s definitely something for me, but we’ll see.”
The reality star was previously engaged to Arie Luyendyk Jr., whom she met on The Bachelor in 2018. However, he later broke off the engagement.
She became engaged to Garrett Yrigoyen for a second time after their paths crossed while she was the star of The Bachelorette. However, their engagement was later called off.
During his appearance on The Bachelorette in 2021, Thomas briefly dated Katie Thurston.
