Bachelorette alum Becca Kufrin and her smoldering fiance Thomas Jacobs REVEAL sex of their first baby
The Bachelorette alum Becca Kufrin and her sizzling fiancé Thomas Jacobs have announced the gender of their baby.
Becca, 38, proposed to Thomas a year ago and last month they happily told the public they are expecting their firstborn child.
In a heartwarming video posted this Friday, Becca and Thomas put an athletic spin on the traditional sex reveal trick.
The idea was that Becca would throw a ball at Thomas, who would then hit him with a baseball bat, causing colored dust to come out and break the news.
Although it took a few blows for the ball to actually burst, it finally released a huge blue cloud that declared the baby to be a boy.

Becca then raced across the backyard to her husband-to-be, who took her in his arms as their loved ones cheered.
“It’s a…,” Becca began her caption, skipping a few lines before crowing, “LITTLE TOMMY,” with a smiling face and cold-sweat emoji and a string of blue hearts.
Becca became a reality TV star on The Bachelor in 2018 as one of the women competing for the hand of racing driver and real estate agent Arie Luyendyk Jr.
Arie initially picked Becca as his season-ending winner, but made a dramatic U-turn, overthrowing her in favor of runner-up Lauren Burnham.
To make matters worse, earlier in the season, Becca had turned down a proposal from her old flame Ross Jirgi, who traced her to Peru during filming to pop the question.
Lauren and Arie married the following year and have since welcomed three children together: Alessi, three, and twins Lux and Senna, one.
Meanwhile, on a wave of support from Bachelor Nation fans, Becca became The Bachelorette and chose firefighter Garrett Yrigoyen as her winner.
Though they spent over a year trying to make their relationship work, their engagement fell apart in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Thomas, meanwhile, first joined the ABC franchise with the 2021 season of The Bachelorette, but was eliminated in its third week.
Later that year, Becca and Thomas finally met on Bachelor In Paradise, and though their fling fizzled on the show, they later got back together off air.
Becca popped the question to Thomas last May — and a few months later, Thomas, unsurprisingly, made Becca a romantic proposal on the beach in San Diego.
They ecstatically announced the pregnancy on Instagram last month and posted a slideshow of them snuggling into each other while holding the sonogram photos.
“Party of 5 coming September 2023,” the couple wrote in the caption of their joint social media post. “Little Bebe, we can’t wait to meet you, hold you and watch you grow. We already love you to the moon and back – mom & dad”
