Welcome to Bachelor Nation, Franklin James! Bekah Martinez’s newborn son was born in June 2020, and he’s already such a little heartbreaker.
The California native “blissfully” gave birth to her sweet boy in their family living room and announced Franklin’s adorable moniker five days later. This is the reality babe’s second child with boyfriend Grayston Leonard. Needless to say, she and her beau are in baby heaven.
“I don’t know how I got so lucky. Gray, there’s quite literally no one I’d rather raise babies with,” the former Bachelor contestant gushed on Instagram for Father’s Day while noting she loves him “more than words can describe.”
The couple previously welcomed their daughter, Ruth, in February 2019. The newly minted mama of two admitted she was a bit apprehensive about having little ones so close in age.
“I’m mostly nervous about what the postpartum period is going to be like, or what people call the fourth trimester. That was the hardest time for me,” she said during an Instagram Live in December. “You’re generally not getting any sleep at all and you kind of feel like you’re losing your mind.”
Although the podcast host feared she wouldn’t be able to relax and “lay around” as much as the first time around, she’s excited for what the future holds.
“I think as they get older it’s going to be so fun having them close in age,” she added. “I think they’re going to be able to entertain each other a lot and hoping they’ll be best friends.”
Bekah is extremely open about her parenting style with her social media followers and gave a window into the values she plans on instilling in her kids.
“My daughter (and every other person for that matter) deserves to live in a world where they can exist in their natural body without feeling disgusting,” the former contestant from Arie Luyendyk’s season wrote in May while clapping back at a troll. “My family will not be a family that passes down shame about weight, body hair, breast size, acne, height or any of the other millions of things we’re taught are ‘unattractive.’ At the same time, I will never tell my children they can’t change their appearance. I can only help them navigate and process why they want to, as I have done for myself.”
We can’t wait to watch Bekah’s kids grow. Keep scrolling to see baby Franklin’s cutest moments!
