Getting candid.
Bachelor Nation stars Anna Redman and Chris Bukowski hard-launched their relationship on social media in 2022.
Fans first met Anna on Season 25 of “The Bachelor,” and she later appeared on Season 7 of “Bachelor in Paradise.” Chris appeared on Season 8 of “The Bachelorette,” Season 3 of “Bachelor Pad,” and Seasons 1, 2, and 6 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
While both have been on multiple Bachelor Nation shows, the pair actually found love off-screen and currently live together in Chicago, Illinois.
After nearly four years together, the couple officially got engaged on New Year’s Eve in a stunning proposal in Costa Rica.

And now, Anna is getting candid about her engagement and sharing why she wasn’t in a rush to marry Chris.
In a new video posted on social media, she shared, “I debated making this video but I feel like I should say it. And please don’t twist my words here… but, I’ve been seeing all the comments on my engagement and a lot of them are just like, ‘Finally! You’ve waited long enough. You deserve this.’ Which I do, I do deserve love, happiness, a big-a** f**king ring… But I just want to make it clear, I wasn’t waiting with bated breath.”
“That’s why I was genuinely shocked,” she went on, “And people are like, ‘You were together for four years, how were you shocked?’ Because I haven’t been rushing this part of my life. When Chris and I met, I wanted a life partner. I wanted to find my person, didn’t mean – and I told him this right away – I was like, I don’t know if I believe in a traditional marriage. I don’t know what that looks like, but I’m not holding myself to the bounds of society’s want for marriage. Does not mean I don’t believe in marriage and I don’t want to do that. Obviously, I want to do that. I meant that marriage means something different to me than most people.”

Anna then explained her reason for going on ‘The Bachelor’ and her relationship with Chris.
She said, “I didn’t want to get married right away, I wanted to find my life partner. I wanted to find the love of my life, and I think that’s more important than just wanting to get married. Early on in our relationship, Chris was like, ‘I’m going to marry you’ and I was like, ‘Okay, but not for a while. Slow.’ I’m not in a rush and… I don’t feel that, which is beautiful as I think a girl entering her thirties. Society tells us to rush and to panic and to make decisions and I just feel so calm in my life. Which is beautiful… It’s so fun to take it all slow. It genuinely is. So fun to relish in being partners, in boyfriend and girlfriend, and now it’s so fun to relish in being a fiancée. It’s so fun — I love this!”
We always love hearing from Anna and appreciate her honesty. We are so glad she and Chris are doing what’s best for them, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for these two!

“NO ONE SHOULD BE SLEEPING ON THE STREETS.” Bradley Walsh has reportedly given away every penny of his £2 million bonus and sponsorship earnings — not for publicity, not for praise, but to build 150 housing units and fund 300 emergency shelter beds for people with nowhere to go. Those close to him say the decision was made quietly, without cameras or announcements. “Bradley didn’t see it as charity,” one source revealed. “He saw it as responsibility.” At a time when most stars protect their wealth, Walsh’s gesture has stunned fans — not because of its size, but because of its sincerity. And as the first doors prepare to open, one line keeps echoing from those who know him best: “He just wanted people to come in from the cold.”
