Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs’ latest chapter in life could make for compelling television. Nearly three years after their romance blossomed on Bachelor in Paradise, the married couple is now raising their 11-month-old son, Benny, and going through a series of unexpected home renovations.
“I’m not gonna lie. I hate the renovation process,” Kufrin, 34, told at the Swirl Boutique X Marrin Costello pop-up event in Carlsbad, California, on Saturday, August 10. “Thomas loves it much more. I’ve gotten better.”
While Jacobs excels in the hands-on aspects of renovation, such as “tearing things apart and building them back together,” Kufrin is more inclined towards the design elements. “I like the details, like picking out the colors, the pillows, and the aesthetic,” she explained.
The couple frequently shares their visits to various design stores in Southern California and their renovation job sites on social media, often including playful pranks as part of the process.
Although Kufrin and Jacobs, 32, have stepped away from the Bachelor Nation spotlight and are focusing on family life in San Diego, they have considered returning to reality TV if the show had a focus on home design.
“We’ve actually been talking to some producers for different shows,” Kufrin revealed.
“We’ve been in talks with some people about potentially doing something like that. … I think it would be fun because Thomas and I balance each other well.
He likes the ‘I’m gonna tear this up and we have to pull the walls down and rip everything out.’ And then I panic and go, ‘Let’s just go have some wine and pick up some paints.’”
As fans await any potential reality TV return, Kufrin is busy preparing for her son’s first birthday party in September, themed “one lucky duck.” The celebration will feature a duck bounce house, a duck smash cake, and other duck-themed surprises.
“I always thought that I would be the person that wouldn’t do anything big for the first birthday. I used to think it was so stupid,” Kufrin shared.
“I was like, ‘The baby’s not gonna remember anything from this.’ But after I had Benny, Thomas and I spoiled him a little too much.”
Kufrin is also expanding her sparkling wine business, which she believes makes for an ideal gift for new homeowners. “We have four varieties at Bourdon and they’re all vastly different,” she said at the event, wearing an ASTR The Label dress and Marrin Costello jewelry.
“Depending on if you want something light and crisp or something more fruit-forward, we have something for your palate. We also recently launched a red blend, which is non-sparkling. … We have something for everyone.”
