Bachelor Winter Games stars Clare and Benoit talk about TV wedding, engagement ring details
By Ruby Maxwell
Clare Crawley and Benoit Beausejour-Savard got engaged on the Bachelor Winter Games finale after breaking up during the show. What’s next for the happy couple?
How sweet was Benoit’s proposal to Clare during the Bachelor Winter Games after-show? And what about that ring? Although the couple kept their relationship a secret since filming wrapped in December, they are now free to share the details of Clarie’s specially designed ring and their future wedding plans.
Some Bachelor fans thought Dean and Lesley were getting engaged, thanks to producers showing a clip of Dean getting down on one knee. Although he did give Lesley the key to his home, it was Benoit who stole the show when he proposed to a teary-eyed Clare.
Whoa! How about that ring?
That’s a gorgeous piece of bling Clare is sporting on her finger! And yes, it’s from Neil Lane — the resident Bachelor engagement ring maker.
But Benoit tells E! News he didn’t care for the rings Neil showed him, so he had him make one especially for Clare just days before the reunion show was taped last week.

“I had something in mind and Neil Lane didn’t have that one so he had to make a custom one on the spot because it was kind of a last minute decision for me even though I was thinking about it. The decision was made maybe one or two days ago.”
Said to be over two-carats, Clare’s ring is an oval diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds.
The price tag? We’re not sure, but most of the engagement rings that have been given out over the years on the Bachelor franchise shows have been in the $75,000 – $125,000 range.
When’s the wedding?
Clare and Benoit started their post-show romance in late December. They got engaged last week in L.A. when the Bachelor Winter Games “World Tells All” special was taped. Now that cameras aren’t recording their every move, they will have time to celebrate and enjoy being an engaged couple.
As far as a wedding goes, no date has been set yet. However, Clare’s not ruling out a TV wedding, telling E! News, “It’s a celebration of love. Who knows? I never thought it would happen for me. Even on the shows. So, it’s not out of the picture for me.”
