Another Bachelor Nation success story! Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour went searching for love on Bachelor in Paradise, but the real paradise began when they found each other.
Godwin joined season 6 of the ABC reality show in the summer of 2019 after striking out on Colton Underwood‘s season of The Bachelor. Barbour, for his part, previously competed for the affections of Hannah Brown on season 15 of The Bachelorette.
The couple’s relationship had a rocky start with Godwin first showing interest in Blake Horstmann, who even flew to her hometown to see her a week before Paradise began filming. Godwin later sparked a connection with Barbour but ended up kissing Horstmann multiple times in front of him.
Eventually, Godwin chose Barbour and the twosome got engaged at the end of the season. At first, the couple had a long-distance relationship between Godwin’s house in Los Angeles and Barbour’s home in San Diego. However, they found themselves unexpectedly living together amid the coronavirus quarantine.
“Luckily, we’re both easygoing so being trapped together in sweats all day with my BFF isn’t a bad day,” the Bachelor alum told Us Weekly in March 2020. Barbour added, “It makes us want to live together and puppy fever is through the roof.”
The pair’s time in self-isolation also helped them discover new things about each other. “I’ve learned that Dylan has zero fear when it comes to expiration dates on food,” Godwin said at the time. “Pretty sure we used two-year-old mustard the other day. Honestly, not too bad!”
Barbour, meanwhile, stumbled upon the social media influencer’s favorite food. “I didn’t know Han liked banana pancakes till I made them the other morning,” he said. “Now, they’re on my regular breakfast menu.”
Four months later, Godwin shared that she wasn’t sure if they would have issues living together, but the former beauty pageant contestant was pleasantly surprised.
“Although we have a good balance in our relationship, you never know what type of roommate someone will be until you actually live with them for a long period of time,” she said in July 2020. “Luckily, Dylan has been an awesome roommate and we really balance chores out well. We’re also good at giving each other personal space when we need it, too!”

Godwin told Us that the coronavirus quarantine made her want to move in with Barbour as soon as possible. "Getting to spend more time in San Diego has definitely made me realize how much I love it and getting to spend more time with Dylan makes me realize how much I love coffee in bed every morning,” the reality star said at the time. “We are definitely on the hunt for a bigger San Diego place that we can both call home!” Marion Curtis/StarPix for Kensie/Shutterstock
Godwin told Us that they aren't "rushing" their wedding plans because of the coronavirus pandemic. "So, the wedding planning journey I put to a little bit of a pause just with COVID and everything," the Alabama native said at the time. "And we're trying to wait to see what the state of the world is going to be in the next year or two. So, for now, I'm Pinterest boarding it and saving photos and we're talking about it and getting excited about it. But, I think that'll just make it even more special when we're able to actually have our big fun day." Shutterstock

"People get so, like, angry," the model joked in an interview with E! News, explaining why she and her fiancé haven't yet tied the knot. "They're like, ‘When's the wedding already? What's taking you forever?' ... We're chillin’. I think why we've been kind of cool with just chillin’ is because, like, we have a mortgage together. It's funny how people get so angry. One day we'll give it to them and they'll be really excited, hopefully." Barbour chimed in, revealing the pair were eyeing a spring 2023 wedding date. "It takes 12 months to plan a wedding, but we're not gonna get married in the winter," he said. "We did look at venues. We have a planner." Marion Curtis/StarPix for Kensie/Shutterstock
“You’re the most loving, caring and selfless woman I’ve ever met,” Barbour gushed via Instagram on Godwin’s 27th birthday. “You focus your energy on anyone and everyone you come across, and you know how to light up a room with your wit and humor. From launching your website and app (and it literally being on the top trending charts) to walking in NYFW, it’s been a privilege to watch you accomplish your goals, and I know you’re just getting started. I love you and happy birthday. Like this photo if we should have 5 kids, comment for 6.” Courtesy of Dylan Barbour/Instagram
