Becca and Thomas took to Instagram on Sunday, May 19 with a joint post to announce their exciting news.
"It has always been a dream of mine to raise a family in an original craftsman home. Pinching myself that we get to do exactly that," Thomas, 31, captioned a family photo and video, tagging Becca.
"Home sweet home," he added.
The photo featured the couple sitting on the red-brick front porch of their new house while Becca was holding up their son, Benson "Benny" Lee Jacobs Kufrin. In the corner, a "SOLD" sign rested by their feet.
In the video, Thomas captured Becca and Benson walking through the front door of their new house.
As Becca bounced her baby boy and headed into the living room, which has a nice brick fireplace, she could be heard shouting, "Home sweet home!"
Many Bachelor Nation alums congratulated the happy couple.
"Stunning !! We need the house tour !!" Kaity Biggar wrote.
"Mari and I can't wait to move into the guest house," Kenny Braasch commented.
"Congrats fam!!" Abigail Heringer gushed.

During an Instagram Q&A in October, a fan asked Thomas how many children he and Becca would like to have.
"Three-piece chicken combo is what we've been talking about," Thomas said.
"However, if No. 2 is a little girl, we will reconsider our options. If No. 2's a boy, definitely, [we want to have] No. 3 because Daddy needs a little girl so badly."

Becca and Thomas went on to explain how they arrived at their baby boy's unique and sentimental name.
"Benson, Benny for short, is after the town where my father was born and raised. Lee is for Thomas's father who sacrifices so much for this country and others," the couple shared.
"And Jacobs Kufrin is pretty self explanatory but we wanted both parts of us to make this little one whole. Now we're off to go cry again over how much we love him."

Becca previously revealed that she had discovered she was pregnant on January 21, 2023.
Becca wrote on Instagram Stories last year that she had conceived naturally but still has eggs "on ice" in case the couple needs them in the future.
Becca originally appeared as a bachelorette on The Bachelor's 22nd season starring Arie Luyendyk Jr., and the season ended with the pair getting engaged.
However, Arie broke up with Becca for his runner-up, his current wife Lauren Burnham, before The Bachelor season's finale aired on ABC in March 2018.
Becca was then chosen by ABC to star on The Bachelorette's fourteenth edition later in 2018. Her season ended with an engagement to Garrett Yrigoyen, but the couple ended up splitting a couple of years later in Summer 2020.
Becca then decided to participate in Bachelor in Paradise's 2021 season -- becoming the first former The Bachelorette star to ever do so.
Meanwhile, Thomas had appeared on Season 17 of The Bachelorette earlier in 2021 before joining the cast of Bachelor in Paradise's seventh season only a couple of months after he was eliminated from his The Bachelorette season.
Thomas had competed for the heart of The Bachelorette star Katie Thurston on the season; however, Katie sent him home at the third Rose Ceremony after the other bachelors told her they believed he was appearing on The Bachelorette for the wrong reasons.

During Bachelor in Paradise's seventh-season finale, Becca was shown breaking up with Thomas and crushing his heart before overnight Fantasy Suite dates because, despite having "an incredible start" to a relationship, Becca 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 and real-life challenges.
However, the October 2021 finale concluded with an update on Becca and Thomas' relationship, revealing they had reunited after the Bachelor in Paradise season finished filming and were "happy and in love."
During subsequent media interviews, Becca revealed she was the one who had tracked down Thomas' phone number and initiated their reunion.

Becca said she and Thomas met up in San Diego and picked up right where they had left off, and Thomas told Hollywood Life he had no hesitation or reservations about giving Becca another chance.
Becca had also boasted about how Thomas was different from her past relationships.
"He is so supportive and he's just funny and quirky in the cutest ways," The Bachelorette alum said.
"Everything about him, I just felt safe with," she continued, "unlike anything I had in the past. I was just like, 'This guy is my guy.'"
Becca then flipped the traditional script and announced she had proposed marriage to Thomas in May 2022. Thomas eventually popped the question back to Becca in October 2022, doubling down on their commitment to each other and making their engagement even more official.
In December 2022, Becca had also revealed she and Thomas probably wouldn't want to televise their wedding.
"I think right now we would probably say no to a TV wedding," Becca told E! News at the time.
"At least the vows and the ceremony I would want to keep more intimate and have that just be between us and our families. The party, if that were to be on TV, I wouldn't say no."
