Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert are fixing up their new house, with a trio of special helpers in tow.
“We are doing our first little renovation ‘project’ on the new house and thought what a fun thing to include the kids in on,” Roper, 38, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 1, referring to children Emmy, 7, Brooks, 5, and Reed, 4. “Today, we are ripping some wallpaper down and celebrating with a little chicken-banana dance!! Emmy has been asking us to do this dance for a while now and was super excited if you can’t tell.”
In the video, Roper and Tolbert, 38, joined forces with Emmy and Brooks — all wearing sunglasses — for a hilarious dance. (Reed was off-camera, filming the family shenanigans.)
The Bachelor Nation alums purchased a new property in Kansas City, Missouri, in April.
Tolbert party of five! Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert found love on Bachelor in Paradise before welcoming their three children together. Roper and Tolbert wed in January 2016 during a televised ceremony. The pair’s daughter, Emmy, was born in August 2017, nearly two years before baby No. 2 joined the family. Roper gave birth to their eldest son, […]
“Still doesn’t feel real,” Roper wrote via Instagram at the time. “So many things had to fall into place for this to happen, and I truly, really feel at home here. Like it’s always belonged to us. Who’s ready for the renovations? We have no idea what we’re doing.”
Tolbert, meanwhile, jokingly replied, “What are we doing? I don’t even own tools ⚒️ 🧰.”
The couple apparently figured out how to fix up the house by Sunday.
“We’re at the new house and we figured it would only be appropriate and fun to do our first little reno project with the kids,” Roper said in an Instagram Story video. “So, what did we do, Emmy?”
Emmy chimed in to note that they ripped “out wallpaper” in the dining room.
“It was a lot of fun,” Roper added.
The dining area initially had burgundy-colored walls with white crown molding around the ceiling and two rounded windows.
“The dining room is one of my favorite rooms in the whole house,” Roper added via her Instagram Stories. “Can’t wait to make it ‘us.’”
Roper and Tolbert moved back to his native Missouri from California in late 2024. At the time, they planned to build a new property from the ground up.
“We bought 10 acres. This is a dream come true for me,” Roper, who hailed from Nebraska, wrote via Instagram in November 2024. “I grew up in the country and have so many fond memories of my childhood playing outside in nature and exploring with my brothers. Can’t wait to give our kids this kind of childhood. We’re so excited for this journey to build our dream home.”
She revealed earlier this year that they decided to sell the land and purchase an already-built home instead.
