Quite the week of The Bachelor news. First, Andrew Firestone announced that he and wife Ivana Bozilovic are expecting their first child.
Now former Bachelorette Jen Schefft is engaged to boyfriend Joe Waterman!
“I’m so excited and so happy,” says Schefft.
The couple, who live in Chicago, met on a blind date in February. Their matchmaker: One of Schefft’s previous blind dates, with whom she didn’t click.
“We really get each other,” Schefft says of Waterman, 35, a trader. “I guess it’s true things move fast when you meet the right person.”
Schefft, who struck out on both The Bachelor in 2003 and The Bachelorette in 2005, went on to author the relationship book Better Single Than Sorry.
She is the director of ad sales for Heavy.com.
Joe Waterman didn’t know much about Schefft from TV – but he stays away from the series’ signature flower. “He gives me flowers but never roses,” she says.
