Jade Roper Tolbert Shares the ‘Biggest Challenge’ in Her Marriage to Tanner Tolbert
Keeping it real.
Bachelor Nation fan-favorite couple Jade Roper Tolbert and Tanner Tolbert first fell in love and got engaged on the beach during Season 2 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Since then, they’ve gotten married and welcomed three children together: Emerson, Brooks, and Reed.
The couple recently bought their dream home in Kansas City, and Jade loves keeping followers updated with their lives on social media.
And this week, the Bachelor Nation star took to her Instagram Story to answer some fan questions and opened up about her marriage to Tanner.
One person asked her what the biggest challenge in her marriage is, and Jade responded honestly, “I think most of the time it’s probably when we make assumptions about the other person’s behaviors or actions or thinking, which I guess basically breaks down to lack of communication.”
The Bachelor Nation star continued and expressed that it can be a challenge for them to find time for communication.
She said, “But it’s so hard to have lots of quality time for communication with younger kids. My brain and Tanner’s brain think very differently, so trying to understand each other can be hard sometimes. Lol.”
Another person then switched gears and asked what is on Jade’s holiday list this year, and she replied, “I was talking to a friend about this the other day.”
Jade continued, expressing, “I know it sounds corny, but truly just having my family’s health is the best gift. 💝”
Jade also admitted she’s considering unplugging from social media for a couple days.
She shared, “I think a couple planned unplugs would be really good for me. I’ve been doing this job for over ten years, and really have never had a true break, never even had maternity leaves…I don’t have plans to fully leave social media or anything like that, I think breaks are imperative, even for everyone who consumes social media.”
We always love hearing from Jade and we appreciate that she keeps it real with her followers. We love the Tolbert family!
