Reality TV star Rachel Lindsay made history as the first African-American ‘Bachelorette,’ however she’s still packing on surprises for us. In an interview with Mario Lopez on Extra, Lindsay opens up about her celebrity couple status- which happens to be an engagement! “I’m so excited, it’s just exuding from me… I can’t hide it,” Lindsay told Lopez. She also went on to say her fiancé went the traditional route and asked her parents’ permission before getting down on one knee. Though a celebrity wedding is in her future, Lindsay has not started planning yet, saying, “I’m focused on the engagement right now.” Hopefully she’ll get into the wedding planning spirit after the episode airs and her spouse can be revealed.
There’s officially a new celebrity couple getting ready to head down the aisle! What are some ways to know you’re ready to tie the knot?
