Becca Kufrin’s Son Benson Take His First Steps with the Help of Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles: Watch
The former ‘Bachelorette’ star and her husband, Thomas Jacobs, shared a clip of the adorable moment on Instagram
Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs just experienced another big parenting milestone, thanks to some superstar gymnasts!
On Saturday, Sept. 14, the married couple and former Bachelor in Paradise stars shared a joint Instagram post documenting their 11-month-old son Benson’s first steps — which he surprisingly took in front of Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles and other Olympians during Biles’ Gold Over America Tour rehearsal.
“Benny took his first steps,” the couple captioned a video of the sentimental moment.
At the start of the clip, both Biles, 27, and Chiles, 23, posed for a photo with Benson on a gym mat, before the video cut to footage of the baby staring curiously at Biles while she was mid-routine. Then, after a shot of Jacobs holding his son on a balance beam, the real magic happened.
Chiles can be seen in the video holding Benson by his hands, before slowly walking him toward his proud parents as he stood on both feet. Chiles then let Benson go and he took two steps entirely on his own. The footage was soundtracked by Andra Day’s song “Rise Up.”
“You got this!” Jacobs said in the clip, as both parents screamed with joy when Benson fell into his dad’s arms.
As they celebrated the special moment, Jacobs lifted Benson in the air and Kufrin, 34, excitedly danced around the mat.
