So Bachelor Nation, who’s dress did you like better?

Her composure throughout the goodbye – a few tears shed through a tight-lipped, but forgiving smile – was just another testament to her being a fan favourite throughout the season.

Now that it is clear who he chose, many still need to know if the pair are still together?

Ultimately, Nick embraced his feelings for Vanessa, admitting he’d perhaps been running from his emotions. “Guess what, we’re going to wait even longer!'”

Grimaldi and Viall confirmed that they are still engaged since wrapping production on The Bachelor, though haven’t set a wedding date yet.

“I can fall hard”, The Bachelor star admitted. She will be the one to call the shots and pick the man of her dreams. However, once I was kind of able and free to kind of make my choice, I felt like my heart knew for a while. We’re all ready to move on.

And then, in the season finale, Nick got down on one knee and asked Vanessa to marry him after sending home second-place finisher Raven Gates.

The “After the Final Rose” special is usually pretty boring. Let Bachelor nation help you! He clearly loved her enough to do that!

However, “I’ve been falling in love with her for a very long time”, he said.

“I’m definitely done with the Bachelor franchise, but I’m very grateful for my time”, he said.

Jake and Vienna got into a nasty fight about their breakup during an interview with Chris Harrison. I think I fear the unknown at this point.

I don’t know if something had shifted in his relationship with Raven, so there were doubts in my mind.

But at the end of it, he didn’t do anything special for me that he didn’t do for Vanessa obviously. That’s the girl he’s more into, for sure. “I was just waiting for the right moment to do it”.

After watching how her now-fiance treated Gates in the finale, Grimaldi said, “I can’t completely understand, but I can sympathize”.

Nick and Vanessa also opened up on why their relationship hasn’t been easy thus far. Fourth time’s a charm, right Nick?
