Tia Booth and Taylor Mock’s family is growing.
In August 2024, the couple announced that baby No. 2 is on the way. Booth and Mock are already parents to son Tatum Booth Mock, whom they welcomed in December 2022.
Booth appeared on The Bachelor as well as two seasons of Bachelor in Paradise in pursuit of love, but it turns out her perfect match was a lot closer to home.

The pair made their relationship Instagram official in October 2021 and tied the knot on Nov. 4, 2023.
