Becca, coming off two broken engagements, didn't want to leave The Bachelor franchise for the third time with a man unless she knew everything about him, including how he'd face adversity.
Bachelor in Paradise's finale concluded with an update on Becca and Thomas' relationship that revealed the pair had reunited after filming ended and are now dating, "happy and in love."
When recalling the details of how he and Becca got back together, Thomas, 28, shared, "Becca reached out. It was something I was hoping [for]," Hollywood Life reported.
On Becca's way out of Paradise, a teary-eyed Thomas admitted he was "falling in love" with her and had so much faith in what they had and what their future could be like together, which made Becca question her decision and feel regretful.
"I left in a vulnerable place, leaving my faith somewhat in her hands because I knew what we had," Thomas shared.
"I was rewarded for that and it was something that, right when we reconnected, we didn't skip a beat. The person who she saw on the beach was the person who she saw in real life."
Becca previously revealed that she had texted Thomas two days after leaving the beach, essentially right when she got her phone back from Bachelor in Paradise producers.
Becca, who starred on The Bachelorette's fourteenth season in 2018, said when she realized Thomas wanted to fight for her and their relationship, she was prepared to do the same.

Thomas confirmed that he had no hesitation or reservations about giving Becca another chance.
"I had zero fear in my body," Thomas admitted to Hollywood Life. "I was just 100 percent focused on the relationship I wanted and the person who I wanted to be with."
Thomas said, in fact, that he and Becca got back together "immediately" upon seeing each other again.
"It was right where we left off and it's growing every day since then," Thomas shared. "Since then, we've probably spent no more than five days apart and it's been awesome."
Thomas concluded that "life's amazing" now with Becca by his side.
"Life's good," the real estate broker gushed. "It's a weird, new normal and I wouldn't trade it for anything."
Before appearing on Paradise, Thomas competed for Katie Thurston's heart on The Bachelorette's seventeenth season earlier this year and was portrayed as a villain.

On The Bachelor's 22nd season in 2018, Arie broke up with Becca and ended their engagement because he decided he was still in love with his runner-up, Lauren Burnham, who is now his wife and the mother of his three children.
Becca later thought she had found The One in Garrett, but she announced their split in September 2020.
"I never felt like those two men, you know, we had promised our lives to each other at one point and I had the ring. We were committed for a short amount of time, but I never felt like they were all in, like, ready to fight," Becca said on an October episode of the "Talking It Out" podcast hosted by The Bachelorette alums Mike Johnson and Bryan Abasolo.
"And for both of those breakups, there wasn't much dialogue or passion, it... more so just ended in the way that it did," she elaborated.
It apparently took no time at all for Becca to reach the conclusion she and Thomas are meant to be
"I'm gonna probably hate myself for actually admitting this to anyone, but I called my mom -- and even though I was engaged twice in the past -- I was like, 'Mom, I think I want to marry this guy,'" Becca shared with Mike and Bryan.
"It's the first time I've ever actually said that out loud."
Becca also revealed Thomas has sent her "multiple text messages" asking about engagement rings, even though he playfully requested that she be the one to propose marriage to him this time.

"It's something we've talked about," Thomas disclosed on the "Talking It Out" episode. "I mean, I don't want to spend my life with anybody else... I wouldn't want to wake up next to anybody else."
Thomas and Becca have been documenting their love story ever since reconciling on their respective Instagram accounts, and Becca has defended her relationship one more than one occasion.
