Colton Underwood celebrates his engagement!
Underwood and Brown started dating last summer, soon after Underwood publicly came out as gay in April 2021. Soon after coming out, he released a documentary on Netflix called Coming Out Colton.
It’s been a very tumultuous journey for Underwood who first entered the Bachelor franchise as a contestant on Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette. He eventually became the Bachelor himself where he had a very interesting journey with Cassie Randolph. The two didn’t get engaged on the show but stayed together through some of 2020 just as the pandemic hit. However, they had a very public and dramatic breakup and within a year of it, Colton came out as gay.
While it may have taken a long and difficult journey to get to this point, Underwood seems very happy with how his life has turned out. And now, he’s engaged to the love of his life!
Congratulations Colton Underwood!
Sending our best wishes to Colton and Jordan!
