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.

The former Bachelor contestant admitted to having a “hard time” with her relationship to Grayston. “It’s funny because a lot of people say the first year of having a baby is the hardest, but for us, the hardest year of our relationship was while I was pregnant,” she said.
