It seems likeDean UnglertandCaelynn Miller-Keyesalready have their New Year’s resolution in mind: TheBachelor in Paradisestars are getting closer to making their relationship ‘official’ — but first, she has to pop the question!
While co-hosting hisHelp! I Suck at Datingpodcast withJared Haibonon Monday, Unglert revealed that an engagement is on the horizon. The topic came up in conversation withDerek Peth and his fiancé Saffron Vadherat former BachelorBen Higgins’wedding.
When Vadher noticed Unglert and Miller-Keyeswearingtheircommitment rings, she asked if they had said “I do” yet, and Unglert recalled, “I said, ‘As far as the government’s concerned, no, but as far as our hearts are concerned, yes.'”
But the couple still have a few important details to lock down — like who will do the proposing: “I don’t know if she’s speaking for me or if she’s saying that she’s going to propose to me,” he said.
“I’ve made it pretty clear to her. I was like, ‘If you really want to get married, you should be the one proposing to me,’ so I think she’s got something in the works for that, which I think is pretty cool. Maybe we can do, like, a dual thing,” he continued. “I guess it’s kind of one of the negatives about going to all of these weddings is it gets your girlfriend in a mood to get married. I guess give us 12 months, 12-13 months and we’ll have something more formal on the books.”

Unglert then teased he’s “got some stuff in the works” as well.
“I don’t want to spoil anything,” he said. “Maybe when it happens, we’ll all be able to weigh in on the situation [on the podcast].”
Unglert, 30, and Miller-Keyes, 26, met on the sixth season ofBachelor in Paradisein 2019. Though Unglert initially pumped the brakes on their summer romance, they eventually left Paradise together.

Unglert recently shared that the couple were inspired to startenvisioning a potential weddingafter visiting Lake Como, Italy.
He said on his podcast in September, “You can’t help but be like, ‘Oh, my gosh. This is amazing. I want this to be the rest of my life. And since I’m here, like, I want you to be in my life for the rest of my life,’ which I always thought those things, obviously.”
Unglert also said the pair have discussed which guests they might want at the ceremony: “Obviously, super major hypothetical, she’s like, ‘Who would you invite? Like, who would you bring?’ Blah blah blah,” he said. “It’s like, ‘I probably wouldn’t bring anyone. You know, like my family. Maybe that’s it.'”
