After numerous seasons of searching for love and years together, Bachelor Nation’s Chris Bukowski and Anna Redman are officially engaged!
“Best friend. Fiancé. Future wifey,” Bukowski, 39, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, January 4, revealing that he popped the question to Redman, 29, on New Year’s Eve.
Mutual friends Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt initially set the couple up nearly four years earlier. After months of dating speculation, the pair made it official with an Instagram post in March 2022.
Leading up to their dating announcement, Bukowski appeared on the “She’s All Bach” podcast in January 2022 where he addressed the dating rumors and chose to neither confirm nor deny. “For the first time in a long time, I’m happy with no stress behind it,” he said at the time.
He and Redman would later take a trip to Costa Rica for a friend’s wedding. Bukowski posted some sweet photos of the two and wrote, “When ordering lobster mac n cheese without lobster starts to make total sense.”
On Redman’s birthday, Bukowski also shared some photos and wrote, “Happy birthday beautiful! I’m so thankful for you and hope this is your best year yet. I love you.”
Redman recently took to her Instagram Story and let her followers ask questions. One person asked what her favorite thing about Bukowski was, to which she responded: “Idk if I have a favorite thing because I like every single thing about the man.”
The Chicago natives both have a handful of posts that show them traveling together too. On June 1, Redman shared a snap of the two in Stillwater, Minnesota. Love is Blind’s Natalie Lee wrote in the comments: “Love this love.”
Just a week later, Bukowski and Redman ventured to Cabo where they stayed at a beach resort.
Redman is best known for appearing on Matt James’ season 25 of The Bachelor and season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise – both of which she left solo.
Bukowski, for his part, has the most appearances in Bachelor franchise history. Viewers first met Bukowski on Emily Maynard’s season 8 of The Bachelorette, and he later returned for Andi Dorfman’s season 10. During the time gap, he was runner-up on season 3 of Bachelor Pad. Like Redman, Bukowski also participated in Bachelor in Paradise. It was on season 6 in 2019 that he got engaged to Katie Morton, but the two called it quits in December later that year.
