A glimmer of hope rose from amongst a sea of heartbreak and an ocean of tears on “Bachelor in Paradise” Season 2.
On Monday night’s season finale, Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert “found love” and took their “connection” to the next level: an engagement!
Tanner (a castoff from Kaitlyn Bristowe’s “Bachelorette” season), proposed to Jade (the “wild mustang” from Chris Soules’ “Bachelor” season), on the beach.
“I can’t give you this rose today,” Tanner told a worried Jade, before adding, “What we have is worth is so much more than a rose — than a million roses — I love you, Jade, and I want to keep on loving you for the rest of my entire life.”
The 28-year-old Tanner got down on one knee and presented Jade with a 2-carat Neil Lane diamond engagement ring.
Jade told her now-fiance, “You make me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, and worthy, and understood, which I don’t think I’ve ever felt from a man before, and I think even though paradise is ending, I have a sense of peace about it because we both want to work on a future together.”
Following the show, Jade and Tanner stopped by “After Paradise,” and confirmed they are engaged for “real real.”

On Tuesday, the bride-to-be took to Instagram to share her happiness (and a shot of her sparkler).
“Does this ring make me look engaged? Oh, wait. I am,” she captioned the cute pic. “I love this picture so much, Tanner caught this moment in Mexico our first morning as an engaged couple. We were still giddy, but also a little scared knowing that our relationship was stepping into the real world where our lives were so different. Glad you came into my life Tanner and showed me that two people can get through anything when love is the foundation.”
