Over footage of Becca and Thomas filling a raised plant bed with herbs, Thomas wrote, "POV: You're trying to grow the family and a seedling hasn't sprouted yet. So you build her a garden."
The video showed Becca and Thomas happily picking out plants at the store, organizing them, putting them into soil, and then watering them with the help of their son Benson "Benny" Lee Jacobs Kufrin.
"Together, you fill it with life," Thomas continued.
"You tend to it. You care for it. You love on it. And one day, your family garden will continue to grow."
The clip concluded with Becca and Thomas kissing, and Thomas captioned the post, "Tending to the garden #familylife."
Becca commented on the video, "Fingers crossed for a green thumb," and many fans showered the couple with supportive and encouraging messages.
When one person asked if the post served as a pregnancy announcement, Thomas clarified, "No, not quite. We're trying out here tho!"
Becca and Thomas bought a house together in May 2024.
Thomas wrote on social media at the time, "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. Home sweet home."
Becca and Thomas had an intimate and impromptu wedding ceremony and tied the knot in October 2023, just a few weeks after Benson was born in September of that year.

During an Instagram Q&A in October 2023, 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 at the time.
"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, who met Thomas on Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2021, wrote via Instagram Stories in 2023 how she had conceived her first baby naturally but still had eggs "on ice" in case the couple needed them in the future.

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.
On Katie Thurston's The Bachelorette season, Katie sent him home at the third Rose Ceremony. Several bachelors believed Thomas had joined The Bachelorette cast 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.
"After we ended things, I think I waited a couple days. I didn't have my phone right away and he didn't have his phone right away, so I think I gave it two days," Becca said during an appearance on the former "Talking It Out with Bachelor Nation" podcast.
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.

"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.
