‘Bachelor in Paradise’ alums Becca Kufrin, Thomas Jacobs share baby boy’s name and first photo
Meet Becca Kufrin’s son, Benny!
The “Bachelorette” alum revealed her and Thomas Jacobs’ baby boy’s name while sharing hospital photos on Monday.
“Benson Lee Jacobs Kufrin cracked our hearts wide open on September 21, 2023,” the “Bachelor in Paradise” alums captioned their joint Instagram upload.
”No amount of words can begin to capture the amount of love and awe we have over this tiny man.”
The former reality stars continued, “We are forever changed with this one’s abundance and can’t believe we are parents to this gift.”
Kufrin, 33, went on to explain the inspiration behind the infant’s moniker.
“Benson, Benny for short, is after the town where my father was born and raised,” she wrote. “Lee is for Thomas’s father who sacrifices so much for this country and others. And Jacobs Kufrin is pretty self explanatory but we wanted both parts of us to make this little one whole ❤️.”
Kufrin and Jacobs, 31, concluded, “Now we’re off to go cry again over how much we love him.”
Fellow Bachelor Nation members gushed over the little one in the comments section, with Raven Gates praising his “perfect name.”
Tia Booth wrote that she “can’t wait to snuggle” Benson, while Ali Fedotowsky told the new parents to “enjoy those baby cuddles.”

The social media upload came five days after Kufrin and Jacobs teased their son’s arrival with a photo of a “Baby Sleeping” doormat.
“Soaking in all of the love and snuggles for the time being but we have a new little pumpkin,” the “Bachelor” Season 22 alum told her followers on Saturday.
Kufrin announced her pregnancy in an April Instagram slideshow, writing that she was ready to become a “party of five” with her fiancé, dogs and baby.
She and Jacobs met and fell in love on Season 7 of “BiP” in 2021, only to break up on air and reconcile after the show wrapped.
Kufrin proposed to her partner in May 2022, and the real estate broker got down on one knee himself five months later.
