Becca Kufrin Is Pregnant, Expecting Baby No. 2 With Thomas Jacobs

by

Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs are expanding their coven.

The couple, known from Bachelor in Paradise, is expecting another baby, a little over two years after having their son, Benson.

Becca and Thomas announced on Instagram on October 30th that they are expecting another child in April 2026.

Becca and Thomas continued their Halloween fun in a video announcing they’re expecting another baby. Becca, 35, dressed as a witch, and Thomas, 33, wore a skeleton shirt, and together they playfully ‘cast a spell’ over a small cauldron. They then revealed their ultrasound, followed by a cute shot of their son, Benson, wearing a skeleton outfit and sitting beside a pumpkin that said “Big Brother.”

Becca was excited to finally share her news, posting on Instagram that she was incredibly tired. She playfully revealed the “cat was out of the bag” and admitted to being the “sleepiest girl” anyone had ever seen.

“I think this baby might be part vampire,” she joked, “sucking the life outta me.”

Since welcoming her son, Benson, the reality TV star has openly shared her struggles with postpartum depression. She married Thomas in 2023 after dating for almost two years.

She admitted to Momcozy that she hadn’t anticipated how exhausting early motherhood would be. Between the sleepless nights, fluctuating hormones, and the demands of breastfeeding and pumping, she felt completely overwhelmed, especially in the first few weeks and months. She described feeling like she was in a daze and couldn’t quite keep things together.

She was grateful for Thomas, explaining that having him experience the same challenges alongside her was a huge support.

Things were particularly difficult for the former Bachelor contestant in the first few months after her baby, Benson, was born. She found herself crying multiple times each day – about five times, every single day.

She shared that she’d struggled with anxiety her whole life, but it became much worse after having a child. Her husband, Thomas, noticed she was obsessively cleaning and urged her to relax, pointing out she needed to rest when their baby, Benny, was asleep. But she found it impossible to quiet her racing thoughts and couldn’t stop herself.

Despite the challenges, she’s grateful she found a way to cope, saying, “It’s been a crazy journey, but also the greatest gift. I can’t picture my life without Benny. I’ve realized it’s okay to loosen control and ask for support when I need it.”

As she and Thomas discussed having more children, she had often talked about how happy she was watching him be a father.

She told Us Weekly in April how happy she was to see Thomas become a father. She explained that their relationship was already strong – they were best friends and in love before their son, Benson, was born – but having a child has taken their connection to an even deeper and more intimate level.

You know, I always say relationships aren’t always easy, and seeing Dale’s sweet comment on Kat’s Instagram really resonated with me.

Even though they live almost 2,000 miles apart – she’s in Minnesota and he’s in California – she’s still optimistic about things.
