Bachelor in Paradise's Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs Celebrate Buying New House: ‘Home Sweet Home’

Becca Kufrin and her husband Thomas Jacobs are new homeowners!

The Bachelor in Paradise alums announced in an Instagram post on Sunday, May 19, that they've bought a new house in San Diego, Calif.

"It has always been a dream of mine to raise a family in an original craftsman home. Pinching myself that we get to do exactly that 🥰," Jacobs, 31, wrote in the caption.

"Home sweet home," he added.

The post features a photo of the couple sitting on the brick front porch of their new house, holding their baby son, Benson, as a sign with the word "SOLD" rests in front of them. In a video taken by Jacobs, the young family can be seen entering their new home, and Kufrin, 34, bounces her son up and down as they walk into the empty living room and shout, "Home sweet home!"

Kufrin and Jacobs, a contestant on Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette, met for the first time on season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise. In an emotional season finale, they broke up but reconciled after filming, Kufrin confirmed on Instagram after the episode aired.

Kufrin then proposed to Jacobs in May 2022, announcing in an Instagram post: "In the ultimate plot twist ... HE SAID YES!"

"We've been keeping this secret just between us and close family & friends for a while but we're so excited to shout it from the rooftops!" she wrote at the time.

Just five months later, Jacobs officially proposed to Kufrin, with the former season 14 Bachelorette lead telling PEOPLE at the time: "We are so excited! It's time we can finally start wedding planning."

"The thought, care and excitement that he put behind his proposal meant the world to me. He prepped for weeks to get it ready," she said. "[Apparently] he took pictures of the ring with me in the background and was able to show it to most of our friends and family beforehand so most felt included."

"It was so cute to see him in that moment. But I never thought he'd actually propose after I just got done stabbing a pumpkin and had pumpkin guts under my fingernails!" Kufrin joked.

"Benson Lee Jacobs Kufrin cracked our hearts wide open on September 21, 2023," they wrote at the time. "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," they continued. "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."

The couple tied the knot in October 2023 in a courthouse ceremony with their then-infant son in attendance.

“10/13/23 | Mr. & Mrs.” they captioned a carousel of photos on Instagram, showing off Kufrin's casual white dress, Jacobs' tan suit and their son's stroller.
