Bachelorette star Andi Dorfman has announced her engagement to Blaine Hart.
The 34-year-old, who appeared in season 10 of the reality dating show, confirmed her happy news this week, spilling the beans on their very romantic sunset proposal.
The couple started dating last year, 15 years after they first met, and made their romance Instagram official on New Year’s Eve, but have already taken the next step.
Speaking to about the seriously romantic scene, she explained that her new fiancé got down on one knee on the beach, after he initially tempted her with cocktails by the water.
But the surprises weren’t over as they returned home to both of their families in their house to celebrate.
‘That’s when I really started bawling,’ she said of the scenes.
The lovebirds reconnected last summer, more than decade after they met, and have been inseparable ever since.
Andi stepped into the spotlight in 2014, taking part on the Bachelor – before taking center stage in the Bachelorette soon after.
In the season finale, she got engaged to Josh Murray but it wasn’t to last and they announced their split after a few months.
Because of this, she was determined to keep her relationship with Blaine under wraps, in a bid to ‘protect’ their bond.
‘I wanted to protect Blaine a bit from the world of the public eye and I didn’t want that to play a role in our relationship,’ she told the publication. ‘But it’s fun for me to share it now, and it makes me feel really good to see that people are truly happy that I finally found love.
‘Not only do we love each other tremendously, but we like being with each other. We both just want to make the other happy and in turn our relationship is a lot of fun. That’s the word I’d use to describe our relationship: fun.
‘I knew Blaine was different and I remember just hoping that the shoe wouldn’t drop and this was the real deal and it turned out it was!’
