Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs, who met on season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise, recently shared a heartwarming moment of their son Benson taking his first steps with the help of Olympians Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles. In a video posted on TikTok, Chiles and Jacobs were seen assisting Benny as he took his first steps towards his parents, with cheers of joy erupting as he achieved this milestone. The couple, who got married in a courthouse wedding in October 2023, expressed their happiness at this special moment in their son’s life.
Simone Biles, who returned from the 2024 Paris Olympics with three gold medals and one silver, cemented her status as the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history. Jordan Chiles also had a successful run at the Olympics, winning a bronze in the women’s floor exercise final. However, she was later stripped of the honor due to an inquiry by the Romanian Olympic committee, with the medal being reallocated to Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu. Despite this setback, both Biles and Chiles have shown resilience and dedication to their sport.
In an interview with People, Biles expressed her desire to see justice for her teammate Chiles, reflecting on the unprecedented circumstances that led to the medal being taken away. She emphasized the need for correct procedures to be followed in such situations, showing support for Chiles throughout this challenging period. Both Biles and Chiles have continued to uplift each other and remain optimistic about the future, despite the disappointments faced during the Olympics.
Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs spoke about their relationship, describing their marriage as a seamless transition that felt natural even before they officially tied the knot. Kufrin, who won season 22 of The Bachelor and was the lead on season 14 of The Bachelorette, shared that marrying Jacobs felt like a continuation of their strong bond, especially with the arrival of their son Benson. Their commitment to each other and their family was evident in the touching moment when Benny took his first steps, surrounded by love and support from those closest to them.
The video shared by Kufrin captured a special moment in Benny’s life as he walked with the help of Chiles and Jacobs, showcasing the support and guidance he receives from his parents and those around him. The couple’s journey from their time in Bachelor Nation to becoming a family has been filled with love, joy, and now, the excitement of witnessing their son’s developmental milestones. With the support of Olympians like Biles and Chiles, Benny’s first steps became a memorable and heartwarming experience for his parents.
As Biles and Chiles navigate the challenges and triumphs of their gymnastics careers, they remain united in their dedication to the sport and to each other. Despite the unexpected turn of events at the Olympics, both athletes have shown resilience and determination in the face of adversity, inspiring others with their grace and strength. Kufrin and Jacobs, along with their son Benson, are grateful for the support and kindness shown by Biles and Chiles, making Benny’s first steps not just a milestone in his life, but a moment filled with love, friendship, and the spirit of teamwork.
