On Monday, theBachelor in Paradisealums posted ajoint Instagram post, sharing the first few photos of their newborn son. In the photos, Kufrin, 33, holds her son while she sits in the hospital bed as fiancé Jacobs, 31, leans in to take their first photo as a family of three.
In their caption, the couple revealed their son’s name and shared where they got their inspiration from. “Benson Lee Jacobs Kufrin cracked our hearts wide open on September 21, 2023,” they wrote. “No amount of words can begin to capture the amount of love and awe we have over this tiny man.”
“We are forever changed with this one’s abundance and can’t believe we are parents to this gift. Benson, Benny for short, is after the town where my father was born and raised. 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 ❤️,” they said. “Now we’re off to go cry again over how much we love him.”
