Tenley announced she was pregnant with Baby No. 2 in November 2023.
"Surprise!!!! A second Leopold baby is on the way, due in May 2024! Looks like I might have a birthday buddy!" Tenley wrote via Instagram on November 12.
"We couldn't be more excited and so relieved to finally share this special news with all of you & include you the rest of the way! Rell is beyond excited to be a big sister!"
Tenley's first child, three-year-old daughter Rell, was born on September 20, 2020.
On Mother's Day earlier this month, Tenley posted a sweet message to her daughter on social media, writing, "You made me mama. The greatest privilege of my life. You have unraveled me & rebuilt me into what I think is the best version of who God intended for me to be."
"And soon we will both have another new adventure ahead together as you become big sis," she continued, "[and] I am rebuilt again learning to be a mother of 2. Thank you Taylor, for these precious gifts you've given me that make me 'mama.'"
And then on November 13, Tenley posted a video of Rell running on the beach while holding sonogram images. In the video, Tenley's baby bump was on full display.
"I couldn't not share these sweet memories in motion... I'll definitely share more about when we knew we were finally ready to open up the door to start trying. The biggest nudge, we were ALL ready," Tenley wrote.

"We've already been having a ton of fun with our little sidekick joining us on memorable worldwide adventures, and now keeping us hopeful in 'Quarantine life.'"
Tenley continued by writing, "We pray that this special bit of news brings a little bit of joy & hope during a time of chaos and uncertainty our world is facing right now. And to any longing, & hopeful hearts, our hearts are with you, and prayers are for you. God's plans are always greater than we can ever imagine! Ephesians 3:20."

Tenley and Taylor got engaged in January 2018 after two years of dating and wasted no time tying the knot. They enjoyed a wedding ceremony in April 2018 right outside of San Diego, CA.
Tenley had met the love of her life through a mutual friend who attended the same church as Taylor.
After dating the product-line manager for a sandal company for only three weeks, Tenley gushed about how she was "going to marry him."
The Bachelor alum revealed she was dating a new guy -- and that she was "crazy" about him -- in early February 2016.
Tenley told Us Weekly of her "gorgeous" Taylor at the time, "His smile is just contagious. He's amazing, his heart is what got me. I had the best first date of my life with him and in that minute of just meeting him, I knew there was something really special about him."
Taylor was apparently unaware of Tenley's reality TV past when they began dating, which she saw as a big bonus.
"I think it's strange for him. He didn't know me from The Bachelor, which is really really cool," Tenley told Us at the time, adding that her man had no interest in watching old episodes of the ABC reality dating series.
Tenley initially vied for Jake Pavelka's heart on Season 14 of The Bachelor and finished as the runner-up.
After competing on Bachelor Pad's first season and experiencing traumatic heartbreak from her 2014 split with longtime boyfriend Kiptyn Locke, Tenley decided to put herself out there again and join the second-season cast of Bachelor in Paradise.
The city girl fell in love with former The Bachelorette suitor Joshua Albers in Paradise; however, she didn't think she could make a long-distance relationship work with him. Due to their different lifestyles, Tenley called it quits with the Idaho welder on the last day of filming.
