In true Bachelor Nation fashion, love stories are never short of surprises—but this one has left fans speechless. Alexe Godin and Andrew Spencer, two beloved alums of Bachelor in Paradise, have officially revealed that they are engaged after tying the knot in a private and secret ceremony.
The unexpected announcement sent shockwaves through Bachelor Nation, as the couple had managed to keep their whirlwind romance—and engagement—completely under wraps until now.
The Secret Ceremony
According to insiders, the intimate ceremony took place earlier this summer, far from the cameras and chaos of reality TV. Only close family members and a handful of trusted friends were in attendance.
“We wanted something just for us, something away from the spotlight,” the couple explained in their joint statement. “Love brought us together in the most unexpected way, and we knew this was the right step for our journey.”
Alexe reportedly wore a minimalist yet elegant white gown, while Andrew opted for a classic tailored suit. The setting was described as “romantic, simple, and deeply personal.”
From Paradise to Forever
Both Alexe and Andrew are no strangers to the ups and downs of love on reality TV. Andrew, who first appeared on The Bachelorette before joining Bachelor in Paradise, won viewers over with his charm, humor, and heartfelt vulnerability. Alexe, known for her authenticity and radiant personality, also made an impression during her time on Paradise.
Although sparks between them weren’t fully captured on camera, their connection blossomed after filming ended. Friends close to the pair reveal that their relationship grew stronger in private, away from the pressures of television.

Another commented: “Honestly, so happy for them. This is the kind of real love story Bachelor Nation needed.”

Others joked: “Chris Harrison is somewhere shaking right now.”
The reveal has also sparked conversations about whether Bachelor Nation couples are better off keeping their romances private instead of navigating them in the public eye.
What’s Next for the Couple?
While Alexe and Andrew have yet to share specific details about wedding plans—or whether they’ll televise a larger celebration—they did confirm that their future together is bright.
Andrew has hinted at settling down and starting a family, while Alexe continues to focus on her career and personal projects. Together, they seem determined to build a foundation rooted in love, respect, and privacy.
“We know the world is curious, but at the end of the day, this is about us,” Alexe shared. “We’re grateful for the support, and we can’t wait for what comes next.”
A Bachelor Nation First?
Secret engagements aren’t entirely new in the Bachelor franchise, but few couples have managed to pull one off as flawlessly as Alexe and Andrew. Their ability to keep the ceremony hidden from the public eye makes this moment all the more magical.
For a franchise often associated with dramatic breakups, the couple’s story is a refreshing reminder that sometimes love truly does find a way—even when the cameras stop rolling.
