“All Benny needed was an Olympic-sized gym and the training/support of @Baby Jo and @Simone Biles to take his first steps,” Kufrin, 34, captioned a video shared via TikTok on Saturday, September 15, where they visited rehearsals for the Athleta Presents Gold Over America Tour.
In the video, Chiles, 23, holds seven-month-old Benny’s hands to steady him as he walks across the gymnastics mat to his parents. At the last moment she lets go and Benny takes his first baby steps into his father’s arms, a milestone received with cheers of joy by his parents. Another video showed Benny’s feet walking across a balance beam, this time with even more help from Jacobs, 31.
Kufrin and Jacobs had done previous stints on Bachelor Nation before finally meeting on season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise. (Kufrin won season 22 of The bachelor and was the leader in season 14 of The Bachelorettewhile Jacobs was a contestant on season 17 of The Bachelorette.) The couple married in a courthouse wedding in October 2023, a few weeks before she gave birth to Benson.
While some roses stand the test of time, others wither before Neil Lane’s engagement ring can be resized. The Bachelor premiered on ABC in March 2002, with Alex Michel being named the World’s Most Eligible Bachelor. More than twenty women competed for his heart and one of the most successful reality TV franchises was born. […]
“I would say [it was] as simple as it can be,” Kufrin shared exclusively We weekly in June about her relationship with Jacobs. “We got married three weeks after Benny was born and I felt like that was it [already] married. In that respect it still feels the same and nothing has really changed, except signing the marriage certificate.”
As for the gymnasts, Biles returned from the 2024 Paris Olympics in August with three gold medals and one silver, bringing her total Olympic medal count to 11. This performance made her the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history.
Chiles, on the other hand, scored bronze in the women’s floor exercise final at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. However, she was stripped of the honor following an investigation by the Romanian Olympic Committee and the medal was reallocated to the Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu. Chiles finished in fifth place.
Becca Kufrin found love with Thomas Jacobs after deciding to give reality TV romance another shot. The former Bachelorette, who was previously engaged to Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Garrett Yrigoyen, returned to Bachelor Nation during season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise, which premiered in August 2021. Although it wasn’t love at first sight, […]
In August, Biles said in an interview with People that she wanted to see “justice” for her teammate. “Do you think they followed the correct procedures to reach this ruling? No. That is truly why we want justice for Jordan and why we will continue to support and uplift her,” Biles said.
She added: “And it’s an unfortunate circumstance because nothing like this has ever happened before and it’s a real shame, but we wish all three girls could get the medal, and unfortunately in gymnastics that’s not the case. “
