"Aside from pregnancy, we're also remodeling our new home. Life is pretty hectic at the moment but felt we could somehow manage to squeeze in one last vacation just the three of us."

"The choice was obvious to have our babymoon in our hometown of Santa Barbara!" she told PEOPLE. "I know people are asking, 'Why choose to have a babymoon in the town you live in?!' My answer is always, 'Have you been to Santa Barbara?!' Staying at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort is as close to paradise as you can get."

Jacobs and Appel met in 2019 at a summer rooftop party in Jacobs' hometown of Santa Barbara. They made their relationship Instagram official a few months later.

In March 2021, PEOPLE exclusively revealed the two got engaged while on a snowmobile ride in Park City, Utah. Later that year, the pair secretly tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony.

"After a year and half of dating, we can both agree that this adventure we're on together is just getting started," Jacobs told PEOPLE at the time. "We're a great team and we can't wait for what's ahead! Buckle up!"
