Krystal Nielson and husband Miles Bowles had a whirlwind romance before their August 2023 wedding.
The Bachelor in Paradise alum was set up with the photographer in May 2020, three months after she announced her split from husband Chris Randone.
Nielson explained on a November 2020 episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast that a pal pushed them together one year after Nielson met Bowles’ mom on a retreat. “She just kind of really encouraged it for weeks. Then when we met, I just knew why she was so certain of us being a great match for each other,” Nielson recalled.
The couple kept their relationship quiet until October 2020, when Nielson posted a photo with her new man on Instagram.
“We have been keeping our relationship private for several months so that we could really focus on building a solid foundation and getting to know each other outside of what you see in the media,” Nielson exclusively told Us Weekly two days after the hard launch.
Nielson announced she is pregnant with her and Bowles’ first child one month later. They welcomed daughter Andara in March 2021.
