News broke on Sunday, June 2, that Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk got engaged Friday, and fans of the two and of Bachelor Nation as a whole, have been super happy and supportive of the couple. This includes their former reality television co-stars. In fact, the Bachelor alums' reactions to Raven and Adam's engagement showed that they were just as excited as the fans.
Even though there's a lot of talk about the Bachelor franchise being fake, a lot of couples have been born on — or because of — The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise, and Raven and Adam are proof that true love can, indeed, be found on reality television. The couple have been dating for two years and met on Bachelor in Paradise. Raven made her Bachelor Nation debut on Nick Viall's season of The Bachelor, while Adam was contestant on Rachel Lindsay's season of The Bachelorette.
Raven announced her engagement with an Instagram post,featuring gorgeous engagement shots by Courtney Matthews, and shared some romantic lyrics from country singer Shania Twain. "I’m keeping you forever and for always/We will be together all of our days/Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face...💞Always 💞" she wrote.
