Becca Kufrin and her fiance, Thomas Jacobs, have officially welcomed their first child – a baby boy – and excitedly shared the big news on Instagram on Saturday.
The Bachelorette star, 33, who announced her pregnancy earlier this year in April, reposted a cute image originally shared by the Bachelor In Paradise star, 30.
In the photo, he had taken a quick snap while standing on their front porch that was decorated for the fall season.
The mat placed in front of the door read, ‘Baby Sleeping. Please don’t ruin this for us.’ In the caption of the post, he simply typed out ‘Home’ followed by a blue heart emoji.
On his stories, he uploaded the same picture and penned additional text towards the bottom which read, ‘Thankful. Blessed. Love beyond words.’

Becca reposted the image to her own Instagram stories and typed, ‘Soaking in all of the love and snuggles for the time being but we have a new little pumpkin,’ followed by a yellow heart emoji.
The happy couple first revealed that they were expecting their first child together earlier this year in April.
At the time, the pair shared a joint post that contained a slideshow of pictures as they posed with ultrasounds while their two adorable dogs also joined in on the photo session.
‘Party of 5 coming September 2023. Little Bebe, we can’t wait to meet you, hold you, and watch you grow. We already love you to the moon and back – mom & dad,’ Becca and Thomas penned to their fans and followers.
The following month, Kufrin revealed they were going to be parents to a boy and shared a short, gender reveal clip of Jacobs hitting a ball that burst into blue powder. ‘It’s a…LITTLE TOMMY,’ the TV personality wrote.
A few months earlier in July, the pair held a lavish baby shower in her hometown of Prior Lake, Minnesota.
The party had a starry night theme. ‘Baby showered with so much love. We love you to the moon & back little man,’ Kufrin wrote via Instagram.
‘Thank you to all of our friends and family for spending the day with us. Words can’t express how full and happy our hearts are. Love you all!’

The shower was attended by the couple’s nearest and dearest including Becca’s mom Jill Kufrin and Thomas’ mom Lisa Jacobs.
Thomas also shared snaps from the baby shower on his Instagram page and captioned the post with, ‘First taste of a Minnesotan summer, you betcha.’
And Becca didn’t let her fiance off lightly, and wanted him to understand what she was going through.
‘OK, I decided since I am obviously very pregnant, we’re going to put Thomas to the test today at my baby shower,’ she said on her Instagram stories. ‘OK, so we got the watermelon, some melons and the Saran Wrap.’
Becca used the Saran Wrap to fasten the melons against Thomas’ belly and chest, to mimic the weight that she’s carrying around at the stage of her pregnancy.
‘Trying the bump on for size,’ Becca jokingly captioned a pic 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 during the season finale, they later reunited and rekindled their romance.
In May 2022, Becca popped the big question to Thomas and she revealed on social media that he had said ‘Yes.’ However, the two became engaged a second time when Jacobs proposed later that same year in October.

Last year in June, Kufrin opened up about her proposal to Jacobs during an interview with Us Weekly.
‘[Thomas] is truly the most adventurous, fun, easygoing man. But what I think makes this relationship different with him is that he’s really the one person [I’ve been with] who our values and our morals align,’ she gushed.
‘Yes, we’re engaged and we’ve talked about what our marriage will look like and what a future with kids will look like and how we want our family dynamic to be.’
Becca continued, ‘He’s the first guy who’s really been on the same page with me — of how we wanna raise our kids, what morals and values do we wanna instill in them.’

‘He’s the first guy too that I’m like, “I actually want to spend my entire life with you.” I want to start planning the wedding and I wanna do all of the things where in the past I’m like, “Oh no, it’s necessarily 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 their engagement.
She became engaged a second time with Garrett Yrigoyen after they crossed paths when she was the star of The Bachelorette. However, their engagement was also later called off.
Thomas briefly dated Katie Thurston during his appearance on The Bachelorette back in 2021.
