While Jessica and Ben, who got engaged in September 2021, originally planned on a big wedding, life had other plans.
“Ultimately, we decided that we needed more time to pull off the massive celebration that we thought was worthy for our family and friends,” Jessica explained. “Considering the timing we are looking for in terms of family planning, we came to the conclusion that we would elope in 2022 and make big plans for a celebration down the road.”
And along with a wedding, the two are now celebrating their newest addition—which will officially make the family a party of five, as Ben is also father to daughter Poppy, 7 and son Ethan, 6, from a previous relationship.
