“I didn’t savor the pregnancy,” Bekah told fans. “I feel like a lot of people say this but I really felt it this morning. I was like, ‘Man, I wish I had cherished that time having her in my belly, and really just had more of a chance to celebrate it.’”

Bekah revealed “everything changed” after they welcomed Ruth in February 2019. “A lot of the animosity and stress and resentment we were holding towards each other went away when we had her, which I’m grateful for, but I wish we got to have fun while I was pregnant,” she confessed.
