“This has undoubtedly been my most challenging season thus far,” Tia wrote. “I’ve never felt such overwhelming sadness and pure joy at the same time. It’s been difficult to be grateful for the good as if one of the most important people in my life is missing the celebration. While I wish I could tell my dad all the good news in person, it brings me peace that he knows about it long before I do.”

Tia went on to say that having a baby while still mourning the loss of her dad “proves that high emotions can exist simultaneously, and I have no doubt my dad had a hand in this. Happy heavenly Father’s Day to the first man I ever loved and Happy soon-to-be Father’s Day to my forever🤍.” Fellow Bachelor alums Lauren LuyendykKaitlyn Bristowe, and Becca Kufrin all congratulated Tia on her pregnancy, as did her fans.
