Title: Love Is Blind Alum Jessica Batten Welcomes Baby Boy with Husband Benjamin McGrath
Love Is Blind season 1 contestant Jessica Batten and her husband, Dr. Benjamin McGrath, are overjoyed to announce the arrival of their first child together. The couple welcomed a baby boy named Dax on June 9. They took to social media on June 17 to share their happiness with the world.
In heartwarming photos posted on Instagram, Jessica and Benjamin can be seen cuddling their newborn, introducing him to his older siblings Poppy and Ethan. Benjamin shares his two older children with a previous partner, making the family’s bond even stronger. Jessica had shared her pregnancy news in January, expressing excitement and sending warm wishes and blessings to her followers.
Jessica and Benjamin’s love story began when the Netflix personality confirmed her relationship with Benjamin in July 2020. Jessica recounted that Benjamin first reached out to her on Instagram, and from there, their connection grew stronger. They got engaged in September 2021 after more than a year of dating and secretly tied the knot in the summer of 2022.
Before the arrival of their baby boy, Jessica spoke openly about being a stepmother to Benjamin’s children and expressed her desire to expand their blended family. The couple’s future plans include having more kids, and Jessica shared that she had frozen eggs in the bank, offering hope for their dreams of expanding their family.
Fans of Love Is Blind will remember Jessica from the show’s first season, which aired in February 2020. Although she got engaged to Mark Cuevas on the show, she ultimately left him at the altar during the dramatic finale. Speaking about her post-show experience, Jessica admitted that it was traumatic and took a considerable toll on her, causing her to withdraw from the dating scene for a while.
Moving forward, Jessica and Benjamin are embracing their new role as parents, cherishing the beautiful moments with their newborn son. The couple’s journey from reality TV to a blissful family life is an inspiring testament to love and resilience. We congratulate Jessica and Benjamin on the arrival of baby Dax and wish them endless happiness and love in their journey as parents.
