Clare Crawley is officially engaged!
The former “Bachelorette” star accepted a proposal from boyfriend Ryan Dawkins over the weekend in Las Vegas, she confirmed via Instagram on Monday.
“He has held me in my darkness, loves me through my healing, and we now celebrate the light together,” she captioned a pic of her now-fiancé down on one knee. “The easiest YES of my life ❤️.”
Crawley, 41, also shared a video of the intimate proposal, simply captioning it, “HIM ❤️.”
The hairstylist said she was “over the moon” with Dawkins’ sweet surprise while chatting with People following the engagement.
“This was the last thing I expected right now, especially coming from where I was a year ago,” she explained. “It’s just been a serious journey, and Ryan has been by my side since the very beginning.”
Crawley went on to gush about her fiancé, saying, “Really what he’s in it for is my heart, and he is so consistent and so vocal about how much he loves me. It is something I have never experienced. … It’s been such a gift having him in my life.”
The Mascot Sports CEO, 47, popped the question during a lantern release at the RiSE music festival on Friday.
Although the couple has been together for almost one year, they just recently went Instagram-official last month when Crawley posted a video of the pair laughing while listening to music in the car.
Ever since then, the pair haven’t been able to keep their hands — or mouths — off one another.
The former reality star joked about the “battle wounds” around her mouth after getting frisky with Dawkins in an Instagram Story last month.
“Also, no I didn’t get my lips done, it’s the consequence of having sensitive skin + a hot man with a beard,” the “Bachelor” star joked while cooking.
Prior to her relationship with Dawkins, Crawley got engaged to Dale Moss just weeks into her stint on the hit ABC dating series.
The pair ultimately decided to leave the show halfway through filming — only to break up shortly after.
While the two briefly reconciled eight months later, they called it quits “for good” in September 2021.
Crawley was also linked to “Bachelorette” star Blake Monar after they spent time together with Monar’s family in Indiana. However, the pair never confirmed their relationship — which seemed to fizzle out shortly after.
Although Crawley has opened up about her “painful” love life since her time as the Season 16 lead, it appears she has finally found her fairytale ending.
Reps for Crawley did not immediately respond to our request for comment.
