‘Bachelor’ Contestant Tia Booth Pregnant With Her First Child
Tia Booth announced that she’s expecting her first child with her fiance Taylor Mock on Father’s Day. She said it’s been ‘a challenging season’ since her dad died earlier this year.
Former The Bachelor star Tia Booth, 30, is pregnant with her first child. She shared Instagram photos, which can be seen HERE, of herself and her fiancé Taylor Mock, who lovingly cradled the mom-to-be’s baby bump. Tia announced the big news on Father’s Day (June 19) and also included a throwback photo of her late dad Kenny Booth, who passed away in February 2022. In her length caption, Tia explained that she has bittersweet feelings about being pregnant following her father’s death.
“This has undoubtedly been my most challenging season thus far,” Tia wrote. “I’ve never felt such overwhelming sadness and pure joy at the same time. It’s been difficult to be grateful for the good as if one of the most important people in my life is missing the celebration. While I wish I could tell my dad all the good news in person, it brings me peace that he knows about it long before I do.”
Tia went on to say that having a baby while still mourning the loss of her dad “proves that high emotions can exist simultaneously, and I have no doubt my dad had a hand in this. Happy heavenly Father’s Day to the first man I ever loved and Happy soon-to-be Father’s Day to my forever🤍.” Fellow Bachelor alums Lauren Luyendyk, Kaitlyn Bristowe, and Becca Kufrin all congratulated Tia on her pregnancy, as did her fans.
