Viewers watched Barbour propose to Godwin during theBachelor in Paradisefinale, which aired on Sept. 17, 2019.
“This is the end ofParadise, but it’s just the beginning of our story,” Barbour said in his speech. “I didn’t come here to spend my summer with you, I came here to spend my life with you. And I’m ready for that life to start now.”
At first, Godwin expressed some hesitancy to hop into another serious relationship after her ex —The Bachelor’sColton Underwood— broke her heart during season 23 of the show. She said the thought of being “broken again” was something that “terrified” her, also noting that despite receiving her father’s blessing of her and Underwood’s past romance, the relationship still “crumbled.”
