Tia Booth says ‘true love’ motivated Taylor Mock’s proposal
Tia Booth took to her Instagram stories for a pregnancy AMA.
One fan asked about her fiance’s decision to propose, questioning, “Do you think he would have proposed if it wasn’t a shotgun situation?”
Tia clarified, “He proposed *before* so it’s obviously true love ok?”
Answering in her video as well, Tia explained that she and Taylor got engaged before knowing they were pregnant.
In fact, Tia shared that the two found out they were expecting just nine days after the proposal when Taylor surprised her during The Bachelor: Live On Stage. According to Tia, pregnancy did not motivate their desire to be married.
