Bachelor in Paradise stars Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs are expecting their second baby, sharing the news with a spooky announcement fit for Halloween.
“Something’s brewing ✨,” Kufrin, 35, and Jacobs, 33, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, October 30, sharing a video of themselves sitting with son Benson at a pretend cauldron. “Another little boo coming April, 2026 👻.”
In the adorable footage, Kufrin, Jacobs and their 2-year-old son pretended to cast a spell over the toy cauldron. Kufrin subsequently pulled out an ultrasound photo from the pot before kissing her husband.
In a follow-up clip, Benson wore a skeleton-themed onesie and sat next to a jack-o-lantern that had “Big Brother” carved into the pumpkin.
Kufrin recently told Us Weekly that she and Jacobs had been discussing the right time to expand their family.
“Thomas is not the one who would have to be pregnant and carry this baby and deal with all the internal and external changes,” the former Bachelorette exclusively told Us in April. “When I was pregnant [with Benson], I did go on anxiety medication and we had to raise the dosage just so I could get through that hard time and keep myself balanced hormonally.”
She continued, “The other day, I was thinking, ‘If we’re ready to do this, do I need to up that dosage?’ For me to be at my best — for not only myself, but for my partner, for our current toddler and this oncoming baby — I need to really take care of myself. I don’t want to feel too much ego or pride to ask my doctor to up that dosage to help.”
Despite her fears, Kufrin proclaimed that Jacobs is “ready” to become a father of two.
“He’s wanted to be a dad for a long time,” she told Us. “He was ready, so to watch him now be able to experience things like taking Benny to baseball games with him, taking Benny outside to start to play catch and teach him how to dunk his little basketball, it’s really, really precious. I think it makes it more special for me because I don’t have my dad in my life anymore.”
Kufrin, whose father died when she was 19 years old, ultimately named Benson after her dad’s hometown in Minnesota.
“To see Thomas become a dad is such a beautiful moment,” Kufrin gushed. “He was my best friend and my love before we had Benson, but now it’s just so much deeper because it’s a whole different level of that bond and that intimacy when you have a little one.”
Kufrin and Jacobs have been together since 2021 after meeting during Bachelor in Paradise season 7. After getting engaged in 2022, the pair tied the knot in a courthouse ceremony in October 2023 after Benson’s arrival.
“We got married three weeks after Benny was born, and I felt like we were [already] married,” Kufrin told Us in 2024. “In that regard, things still feel the same and nothing’s really changed other than signing the marriage certificate.”
