During a recent Q&A session with her followers on Instagram, Jade revealed whether she and Tanner have any plans to welcome another baby in the future.
"Haha [this is] always a popular question!" Jade responded, according to Bachelor Nation.
"I sometimes imagine our family as a family of 6, but then I also can't imagine Reed not being the baby of the family! I go back and forth."
Another fan asked how she and Tanner maintain a spark in their relationship after years of marriage and several babies, and Jade repeatedly insisted that a couple needs to "communicate."
"Communicate, communicate, communicate," she replied. "One of my favorite accounts to follow is Dr. Tracy Dalgleish. She touches on this topic a lot and gives some great resources and tools for how to navigate through this season of relationships."
Jade went on to assure the Instagram user, "Also, just wanted to validate you and tell you that you're not alone in this particular experience postpartum."
One follower complimented Jade on being "in tune" with her three children, which prompted Jade to gush, "I'm just grateful I get to feel their sunshine and watch them grow into who they are meant to be."
Back in Fall 2021, Jade and Tanner admitted they needed to schedule intimacy in their marriage because their lives were so busy with three kids running around.

"Life is crazy and sometimes it just needs to be scheduled," Jade explained, "because it's important to us to keep that connection and sometimes it only happens that way."

At the time, Jade and Tanner -- who had just moved into a new home in August 2021 -- also said they considered Friday night to be their date night, just staying home and feeding Reed while Tanner's mother watched Brooks and Emmy for a couple hours.
"But once in a while we get out for dinner or a movie or we go down to the beach for a walk for paddle boarding. I believe in the notion of 'keep dating' your spouse, and we try our best to keep it a priority," Jade shared last year.
Jade and Tanner fell in love and got engaged on the Season 2 finale of Bachelor in Paradise in 2015, and they got married in January 2016 for a televised special on ABC.
After Jade and Tanner tied the knot, they later appeared on Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars that same year.
The pair initially lived in the Kansas City area and built a home there, and then Jade and Tanner moved to the Los Angeles, CA, area.
Jade initially competed for Chris Soules' heart on The Bachelor's nineteenth season, while Tanner first appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe's edition of The Bachelorette, Season 11 of the series.
