\u201cAnd obviously humble,\u201d he could not resist joking.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, other members of the Bachelor Fam took to comments to share how they had struggles, but ultimately succeeded, to keep this happy news a secret for so long. (We see you, Victoria Fuller)<\/p>\nNick Viall and girlfriend Natalie Joy are engaged. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nNick Viall and Natalie Joy first confirmed their relationship status in January of 2021.<\/p>\n
And how did they meet?<\/p>\n
\u201cShe slid into my DMs. It was very romantic,\u201d he joked on his podcast just weeks after going public.<\/p>\nNick Viall sits here and talks to his podcast audience. Do you ever listen to his podcast? (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cWe kind of kept hanging out, and she finally got to a point where she was like, \u2018I want to date,\u2019\u201d Nick recalled.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI was kind of like, \u2018I don\u2019t know.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Nick: \u201cShe was just like, \u2018OK, this is what I want. It\u2019s fine, no big deal, but I\u2019m gonna go do my thing,\u2019 and she did and I was like, \u2018What?!\u2019 \u2026 She went and showed me exactly what I\u2019d be missing.\u201d<\/p>\nNick Viall and Natalie Joy are engaged to be married. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBy late 2021, insiders were already teasing that Nick and Natalie might become engaged.<\/p>\n
However, they did not announce that milestone until more than a year later.<\/p>\n
Since then, Nick has gushed about how she has taught him so much about love and what it means to be a partner.<\/p>\nNatalie Joy shows off her engagement ring. Fun! (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nObviously, a lot of people raised their eyebrows at this couple\u2019s age gap. Nick is nearly twice her age. <\/p>\n
And he was closer <\/em>to twice her age when they announced their relationship. That was two-and-a-half years ago, give or take.<\/p>\nBut age gaps between adults aren\u2019t some hard-and-fast rule. Sure, it\u2019s a little weird. But it might be what works for them. Congratulations to them both!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
