In 2022, Ben opened his doors to E! News about their plans to have children someday, but explained that they weren’t ready to be parents at that time.
He said, “We’re excited about children. I believe that, God willing, we’re going to have children. But right now, it’s not a conversation that we have often and it’s not something that either of us is looking forward to. You know, when you hear baby fever, I don’t know if either of us has baby fever right now.”
They were married on Saturday, November 13, 2021, at an estate on the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee.
During a 2018 interview with PeopleBen and Jessica spoke candidly about each other and raved about their relationship.
She said, “Ben not only makes me want to be a better person, he actually makes me a better person.
“He assures me in all my dreams and all my goals. I never thought I would have a partner who would accept every part of me,” she added.
The Bachelor alum, who met the brunette beauty through Instagram, called his love interest “so incredibly empathetic and caring.”
“She encourages me and she supports me and I know she cares about me and where I’m going. I’m so happy that I get to love her — and that she loves me — every single day. And I’m so grateful that I found her,” he said.
