Former Bachelor star Bekah Martinez welcomed her first child with boyfriend Grayston Leonard earlier this year and seems happier than ever, but her road to motherhood has not been easy.

In fact, in a recent Instagram post, the 24-year-old opens up about getting “unexpectedly pregnant” just three months into her relationship with Leonard.

“This man is wonderful. And handsome. And a great dad. I love him so much, but there’s so much you don’t see that goes on behind the instagram scenes,” she wrote alongside a photo of him.

“I think it’s easy to look at our photos together and think we transitioned seamlessly into a life with each other, and that couldn’t be further from the truth.”

“Getting unexpectedly pregnant only three months into a relationship isn’t all fun and games. Actually, it’s mostly tears and arguments (or at least that was our experience).”

Though she couldn’t be happier with her little girl, Ruthie Ray, it hasn’t been all sunshine and roses — and she gets very honest about it all.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’ve never been happier than I am now. I couldn’t think of a better person to be my partner or the father of my child, but dealing with the stress of an unplanned pregnancy with someone you barely know is ROUGH,” she explained.

“We’re still getting to know each other now; we skipped past the whole dating phase and haven’t had much time to talk about things that aren’t baby-related.”

In fact, she and Leonard figured out a way for them to work on their issues as a family.

“All that being said, we’re starting therapy together and I’m looking forward to where the future takes us,” she said.

“This post is just meant to be a reminder that everyone has issues. Nothing is as perfect as perceived, and ALL relationships have struggles.”
