I’ve also been afraid to tell people that Tanner and I got pregnant on Bachelor in Paradise while filming," she explained. "I’ve been keeping this weight for a long time, but being pregnant with our second child, all these emotions have been on the surface for me."
"I just felt it was time to get it out of me and share our story and honor our baby. Thank you for all the kind words, they’ve made me feel very loved and have made me feel less alone," Jade concluded.
