Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour went searching for love on Bachelor in Paradise, but the real paradise began when they found each other.
Godwin joined season 6 of the ABC reality show in the summer of 2019 after striking out on Colton Underwood‘s season of The Bachelor. Barbour, for his part, previously competed for the affections of Hannah Brown on season 15 of The Bachelorette.
The couple’s relationship had a rocky start with Godwin first showing interest in Blake Horstmann, who even flew to her hometown to see her a week before Paradise began filming. Eventually, Godwin chose Barbour and the twosome got engaged at the end of the season.
At first, the couple had a long-distance relationship between Godwin’s house in Los Angeles and Barbour’s home in San Diego. However, they found themselves unexpectedly living together amid the coronavirus quarantine.
“Luckily, we’re both easygoing so being trapped together in sweats all day with my BFF isn’t a bad day,” the Bachelor alum told Us Weekly in March 2020. Barbour added, “It makes us want to live together and puppy fever is through the roof.”
Godwin later teased the duo’s plans as they prepared to tie the knot. “For our wedding, we’d just want it to be personal, like, as close-knit as we possibly can. We want to just keep it personal and small,” she told Us in September 2021. “I think it’ll be more enjoyable and we won’t have to be greeting people the whole time essentially. It’s going to be nice I think just to have everybody … like for it to be a memory for everybody and not just like us. We want to really enjoy it.”
