Since they’d been trying to conceive for 10 months, the Bachelor alum, 32, admitted, “[Tanner] was pestering me like crazy! I wanted to make it special, but then I was so over him asking, I just said ‘I’m pregnant, OK!?’ So not that special. I was like, ‘Shut up!’ I wanted to plan something!”
Even without a big reveal, the couple, who fell in love on season 2 of Bachelor in Paradise, had a cute celebration. “He grabbed me, hugged me and was crying while laughing, and I was crying,” Jade said.
Their baby girl, though, isn’t sure what to think yet. “She doesn’t understand right now,” the Colorado native said. “We’ve been talking to her about it and showing the ultrasound pictures. I think once it’s closer to the due date and the nursery is all set up, she might get a better idea.”
