Bachelor Engagement Rings Ranked By Carat Size

Former football player and 35-year-old model got engaged in July 2019. They were married in a private ceremony at the home of a friend in Connecticut on June 5, 2020. They did not reveal their big news until the next year.

Funny thing is, Jesse and Emely admitted that they didn't intend for their wedding to remain secretive.

The former Bachelor on season 5 explained that he originally planned a wedding in Provence (France) for summer 2020. However, the pandemic forced him to postpone it until the summer of 2021. But he didn't want us to wait any longer. We had an intimate, small and private ceremony with our close friends, who were all New Yorkers.

They had planned to hold a more elaborate ceremony for 2021 but they cancelled the event once again due to COVID-19 travel restrictions that made it difficult for Emely and her Brazilian family to attend the celebration. Celebrities are still hoping for a "symbolic" ceremony with their loved ones and parents in 2022.

According to Daily Mail, the duo started dating in 2017 after they met at a New York City boxing class.

"I saw her, and thought she was beautiful. "I didn't meet her until much later, she came in during my departure," Jesse told the outlet about their chance meeting. "We connected and our first date was at Rumble two week later."

Emely is originally from Brazil, and she works as a photographer and model. Her husband Clayton Echard is the host of The Bachelor season 26, which Emely has just begun.

Season 5's leading man was Jesse. Although he did not propose to Jessica Bowlin during the finale, they continued their relationship for several months. Clayton, 28 years old, will benefit from Jesse's experience in helping him (hopefully!) find his future spouse.

The reality TV host said that The Bachelor has been bringing the world many unforgettable love stories for more than twenty years. This includes my own. "Falling in Love is one of the greatest gifts in life, and I am humbled to have the opportunity to host the new Bachelor season. I gained firsthand experience from the show and am grateful to be a part of his journey."
