Jade Roper Tolbert is one strong mama! The Bachelor in Paradise star took to social media shortly before the dramatic Bachelorette season finale aired on Tuesday, July 30, to reveal that she unwillingly gave birth to her second child in her master closet the day before.
Jade, 32, and her husband Tanner Tolbert's family just a got a little bit bigger!
On Monday, July 29, Jade gave birth to the couple's second child — and it wasn't at all how they planned.
"I accidentally gave birth at home last night, in our master closet," the mother-of-two revealed via Instagram. "I’ve been still processing the shock of this all, as this was not all at what I had planned, but I am so so thankful for each person who helped bring our son into the world safely."
"It was one of the scariest moments of my life because I felt so out of control, but Tanner, Tanner’s mom, my mom and the medics and firefighters kept me going when I felt like the world was caving in on me and my unborn baby," Jade added.
"I’ll share my whole birth story soon, but long story short, my water broke and 75 minutes later I gave birth to our healthy baby boy while clutching a bench in our closet," she said.

"I was going to share the happy, cute 'Instagrammable' pics first, but this felt right to me," she wrote alongside a photo of her holding the newborn child in the closet. "So incredibly grateful for the support system we had and for this beautiful boy I get to hold in my arms."
Under the candid snap, Bachelor host Chris Harrison commented, "Now that's the most dramatic delivery ever."
Tanner, 32, took to his own Instagram account to share a photo of himself, Jade and their son in a hospital room hours later. "We are officially a family of 4! Baby boy threw us for a curveball last night... but him and his mom are healthy and all is well... now we just have to pick a name," he wrote.
The couple who got engaged on Bachelor in Paradise in June 2015 and walked down the aisle in January 2016, also share a two-year-old daughter Emerson.
