We’ve never locked eyes like that in our lives. We were holding hands, so intense, and I was listening to his every word, but still blacked out.†Tartick posted a clip of the proposal to his TikTok, captioned, “Just the reaction I was hoping for, engaged to the love of my life.†Bristowe was previously engaged to Shawn Booth, the winner of her Bachelorette season.
