behind-the-scenes video<\/a> of the proposal on Sunday, January 5, with Darian writing in the caption, \u201cTo Us, Always & forever.\u201d<\/p>\nIn the video, Darian walked Jadejha into the room filled with candles and rose petals, where she was surprised with a red flower arch in the shape of a heart, that read, \u201cWill you marry me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Darian held Jadejha\u2019s hands, seemingly telling her a heartfelt speech before dropping to one knee and proposing with what appeared to be a circular diamond on a band of smaller sparking stones.<\/p>\n
\u201cI manifested her, she manifested me, we manifested each other,\u201d Darian said in the clip. \u201cThis is my baby. This is my future wife. This is my fianc\u00e9e!\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple celebrated with a bottle of champagne, surrounded by family and friends, including Savannah Miller<\/strong>, a fellow contestant from their season of The Circle<\/em>.<\/p>\nDarian, a middle school teacher, and Jadejha, a cybersecurity beginner, met while competing on season 7 of The Circle<\/em>, which premiered on Netflix in September 2024.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>

Their relationship was flirty as they often called each other their Circle<\/em> wife\/husband. Although they fell short before the finale, they shared their first kiss on the reality TV series and even had a mock wedding.<\/p>\nThe pair became a couple after filming ended and had already been talking about making it down the aisle in October 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been dating all year long, and it\u2019s been good, and he\u2019s been talking about a ring and stuff like that,\u201d Jadejha previously told Entertainment Weekly<\/em>. \u201cSo I\u2019m trying not to spoil the surprise for myself. I\u2019m trying not to pay attention to any clues, but he\u2019s a terrible liar, so we\u2019ll see when that comes. You never know, there might be some engagement photos dropping soon.\u201d<\/p>\nJadejha touched on their mock The Circle<\/em> wedding and kept a part of her bridal outfit for when she and Darian tie the knot in real life.<\/p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s this little secret that I have with production that no one knows, but I think now is the perfect time to tell someone,\u201d Jadejha explained. \u201cOn the night of the finale when we were all getting ready to walk out, some people from production and wardrobe came down to me, and they gave me the garter from my wedding dress from the wedding episode and they said, \u2018Take this to wear in your wedding if you get married to Darian.\u2019 And I still have that to this day.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
