The Bachelorette finally wrapped its 20th season last night. And I can finally say with full confidence that Dotun and Charity are engaged! This has been an agonizing season—but I am so happy that this couple has made it through to the end.
If you haven't been keeping up with this season, just know that Dotun Olubeko is perhaps one of the best Bachelorette contestants I've ever seen. (Sorry, Joey Graziadei—I'm still excited to see you on The Bachelor!) He and the 27-year-old child and family therapist really hit it off in New Orleans, and ever since, Dotun had been a clear frontrunner.
After a rocky date to meet Charity's family last night (which, I'll admit, had me nervous!) Dotun finally proposed to the Bachelorette. It was one of the sweetest proposals I'd seen in many seasons. The couple also appeared looking happy as ever during the After The Final Rose portion of the finale.
"She's everything to me," Dotun told Jesse Palmer in the Tealight Candle Thunderdome. Can you think of a more romantic sentence?
The only downer is that fans won't get to see this wonderful man on the next season of The Bachelor. Still, I'm excited for Joey, and so happy for Charity and Dotun!
Here's everything to know about the latest Bachelorette-made pair.
They're not getting married quite yet.
Okay, let's face it. Charity and Dotun have really only known each other for a couple months—so I think it's totally fair that they want a longer engagement. The Bachelor Nation-made pair told PEOPLE that they'd get married around 2025 or 2026, which gives them plenty of time to enjoy their engagement.
Rest assured, they will be getting married soon-ish. Charity also said she doesn't want some "17-year engagement" which seems like a good sign to me.
"We obviously came here to find love, and we have successfully done that. So [we’re] super happy to get our lives started,” Charity told PEOPLE.
They might have two weddings.
Charity and Dotun are hoping to have a traditional Nigerian wedding, per PEOPLE, which might mean they will have two ceremonies. "I definitely am open to having two weddings,” Charity told the publication.
If they do have multiple, one will be a standard American wedding, per PEOPLE.
Who is Dotun Olubeko?
Dotun, 30, is a former track star who is super focused on health (he's an integrative medicine specialist, according to his ABC bio), and has the absolute sweetest parents. Plus, his family is based in California but he lives in Brooklyn, New York. So, Charity is about to be so New York when she's in L.A.
At one point this season, the winner admitted that he didn't know The Bachelorette had to end with a proposal. This kind of realization would make anyone get cold feet, but Dotun took it in stride. He said getting engaged didn't seem scary at all because he would get to marry Charity. Aww.
Dotun was a frontrunner from the start.
If you were skeptical of Dotun's lead from the very beginning of this season, you must just be on Team Joey. Dotun exemplified time and time again that he is not only the total package, but is perfect for Charity. Even The Bachelorette admitted that she saw an ending with Dotun from the very beginning, per PEOPLE.
Charity also told the publication that she realized just how important Dotun was to her during the hometowns episode. "So at hometowns, Dotun was one of the first people that I told I was falling in love with. And then getting to Fiji, that just truly just solidified where I was like, ‘Yeah, this man has to be it,’” Charity told PEOPLE.
Dotun said he felt the pair's connection was very "metaphysical" and "spiritual," per PEOPLE. This couple's Bachelorette journey was pretty intense. They did everything from runnning a 5k, to bungee jumping, plus had plenty of deep talks. No wonder it ended with a proposal!
Are Charity and Dotun still together?
While Charity and Dotun have managed to fly well below the radar since filming wrapped, they are still very much together—and very happy! As with many couples in Bachelor Nation, they're excited to bring their relationship public after the finale.
Dotun said he's excited for the couple to just "live life," per PEOPLE. "It's going to be grocery shopping, concerts and hanging out with friends. It's really basic," the Bachelorette winner said. "We're looking forward to it all, though. We've been doing our best to live lives apart and in hiding. And in everything we do, we're always like, ‘I wish you were here.’"
And even though they've had to be low key about their budding relationship, Charity also said that it has been "so beautiful" with Dotun so far.
"I feel like [our relationship] never truly stops growing,” she told PEOPLE. “We are so in sync, it's crazy. We're so similar.”
Aww. I'm so happy for this pair!
