“Bachelor in Paradise” alum Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert have welcomed their second child, but the birth didn’t go as planned.
Taking to Instagram, Roper, 32, revealed she “accidentally gave birth” to the couple’s baby boy at home, calling the experience “one of the scariest moments” of her life.
“I accidentally gave birth at home last night, in our master closet,” Roper began. “I’ve been still processing the shock of this all, as this was not all at what I had planned, but I am so so thankful for each person who helped bring our son into the world safely.”
Roper explained that after her water broke, she gave birth 75 minutes later “to a healthy baby boy while clutching a bench in our closet.”
“It was one of the scariest moments of my life because I felt so out of control, but Tanner, Tanner’s mom, my mom and the medics and firefighters kept me going when I felt like the world was caving in on me and my unborn baby,” she shared.
After meeting on Season 2 of “Bachelor in Paradise” in 2015, Roper and Tolbert, 32, married the following year. They also share a 1-year-old daughter, Emerson.
