Tia Booth’s pregnancy announcement to her husband Taylor Mock didn’t go exactly as she planned it.
On Sunday, Aug. 25, the former Bachelor in Paradise star, 33, held a Q&A session on her Instagram Stories with fans who were curious about some of the details of her recently-announced pregnancy.
Replying to a fan who asked how she shared the “exciting news” of her pregnancy with Mock, Booth revealed that things didn’t go quite to plan.
“I was trying to keep it a secret so I could surprise him and he found the test wrapper in the trash when he went to cut his toenails hahaha,” she wrote.

In a hilarious video of the moment, the reality TV star filmed her open bathroom trash can with the wrapper of a pregnancy test sitting right at the top — and then pulled out the test itself to show Mock that a thin “positive” line had appeared.
“I think that’s a false positive,” Mock said in the clip as Booth laughed.
The pair, who tied the knot in November 2023, are already parents to 20-month-old son Tatum. They revealed in an Instagram video on Thursday, Aug. 22, that they are expecting their second child together.

“BIG BROTHER TATUM ??,” the couple captioned the video, set to the song “Everything We Need” by Wilfred.
Also on Sunday, Booth answered a few more questions from fans, including about the sex of her baby-on-the-way — to which she replied that the couple is planning on waiting until the baby is born to find out.
“We are not finding out this time,” she explained in a video. “That was my idea. I just wanted to do that. This is our second kid and I wanna do it at least once.”
“Taylor does not like that,” she added. “He wants to know so I’m trying to not let him peer pressure me into finding out. We’ve done the genetic testing — I just didn’t open the email. I’m just waiting for my OB to let me know … the results for everything.”

Booth also added that the only thing she’s worried about is the anatomy scan giving away the secret of the baby’s sex.
“I’m worried I’ll see the parts and know,” she explained. “But we’re excited to hopefully wait and find out.”
Elsewhere in her Instagram Q&A, Booth said that she and Mock are still considering whether or not to give their new baby a name beginning with the letter “T.”
“Taylor thinks that we absolutely cannot leave this kid out,” she said of the naming process in a video. “He thinks that this kid is gonna feel left out. I feel like when they’re older, they will appreciate that they’re a little different.”
