Bachelor Nation’s Becca Kufrin Announces Shocking Second Pregnancy in Emotional Post, Showing Off Her Baby Bump!
Becca Kufrin Announces Baby No. 2 with Husband Thomas Jacobs: A Growing Family and Growing Baby Bump!
Becca Kufrin, former Bachelorette and reality TV star, has revealed some exciting news — she's expecting baby number two with her husband, Thomas Jacobs!
In an Instagram post that delighted her followers, Kufrin, 35, shared a mirror selfie showcasing her growing baby bump. Smiling brightly, she held up a peace sign, clearly overjoyed by the news. Captioning the photo, she wrote, "October will always be my favorite 🧡," with Jacobs, 33, commenting, "It’s the last slide baby bump for me 😍."
The couple made their announcement on Thursday, October 30, with an adorable Halloween-themed post. Sharing a photo with their son Benson, the family sat beside a pretend cauldron. “Something’s brewing ✨,” they wrote, teasing fans with the news, “Another little boo coming April, 2026 👻.”
Kufrin and Jacobs first met in 2021 during Bachelor in Paradise season 7, where their journey wasn’t without its bumps. The two briefly parted ways during the finale, only to reconcile after the show wrapped. Reflecting on their reunion, Kufrin shared, “We chatted until, like, three or four in the morning some nights and just talked about any and everything... The second I saw him — I think right away he picked me up and kissed me, and then we just had unlimited time to explore what this could be.”
In 2022, the couple got engaged and married in 2023, just three weeks after welcoming their son, Benson. Kufrin has described the whirlwind romance as feeling like they were already married, saying, “In that regard, things still feel the same, and nothing’s really changed other than signing the marriage certificate.”
Kufrin has been open about her experiences with pregnancy and mental health, sharing that the decision to expand their family was a thoughtful one. Back in April, she opened up about the challenges of balancing her mental health while pregnant with Benson, noting that she had to take anxiety medication to manage hormonal shifts. "If we’re ready to do this, do I need to up that dosage?" she shared, emphasizing how important it is to care for herself so she can be the best partner, mother, and individual.
As for Jacobs, Kufrin shared how thrilled he is to be growing their family. “He’s wanted to be a dad for a long time,” she said. “Now, watching him take Benny to baseball games and teach him to play catch, it’s really, really precious. It makes it more special for me because I don’t have my dad in my life anymore.”
The couple's journey is a beautiful testament to the joy of growing together, both in love and family. With their second baby on the way, it's clear that Kufrin and Jacobs are in for an exciting new chapter — one that will no doubt be filled with more joy, laughter, and plenty of memorable moments.
Cory Wharton Says Daughter Maya’s Open-Heart Procedure Has Inspired Him to Give Back to Families in Need
Cory Wharton says his three-year-old daughter Maya’s latest open-heart surgery has inspired him to give back to other children and families, noting that his charitable efforts are “a far cry from MTV.”
As The Ashley previously told you, Cory and ex-girlfriend Taylor Selfridge’s daughter Maya, who was born with a rare form of heart disease called tricuspid atresia, recently underwent her final open-heart surgery called the Fontan. Two weeks after the surgery, Taylor– who also shares daughter Mila with Cory– told fans that the procedure had improved Maya’s oxygenation levels, as well as her overall coloring.
(According to the Cleveland Clinic website, a Fontan procedure “improves circulation in people who have only one working heart ventricle. This problem happens because of one of several congenital heart diseases. The Fontan procedure lets oxygen-poor blood from the lower part of your body go straight to your pulmonary artery– and then lungs– for oxygen instead of going through your heart first.”)
Cory revealed to TMZ this week that, while Maya’s surgery was successful and she was ultimately discharged from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles after a two-week recovery, he realizes that some families aren’t as fortunate.
“I was just happy that we were able to leave the Children’s Hospital, because there’s a lot of families there that they’re not gonna leave, they’re waiting a year or two for a heart transplant,” he said. “ … It’s sad man, walking around there, but there were people in that building that found a way to smile and … just by talking to them over time, I was just like, these people are staying positive when they’re at their lowest and it was crazy for me to see and experience.”
Cory went on to say that the recent experience has inspired him to find ways to help those in need.
“I’m just so thankful to God that we made it out of the hospital, my daughter’s fine and now the biggest thing for me is, like, I’m trying to give back,” he said. “I wanna do whatever I can to try to help out [at] Children’s Hospital or [with] young ones that are in need.
“I wanna give back a little bit … it’s a far cry from MTV, but I wanna try to do something positive with what I got going now,” he added.
As you may remember, Cory and Taylor previously shared that they learned about Maya’s heart condition when Taylor was about 22 weeks pregnant, at which point they were told that Maya would need a series of procedures due to the condition. At just six days old, Maya had a stent put in place; later that year, Maya– then seven-months-old– underwent her first open-heart surgery, during which she suffered some complications.
Taylor shared this month that Maya should not need any more open-heart surgeries in her lifetime; and if she does, it would not be until adulthood.
