Why Hannah Godwin became engaged to Dylan Barbour
While some fans might doubt the legitimacy of couples who meet on reality shows, after season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise aired, Godwin made it clear that she had real feelings for Barbour.
“His words and actions lined up,” Godwin told People Magazine. “He would say these things but he would also show me. Our personalities connected. Romantically were very attracted to each other, but I also see him as somebody I can spend every day with and laugh with and who can be my friend. And that’s really cool.”
She continued, “I realized that whomever I gave my rose to, I wouldn’t want to leave without. And that was Dylan. As soon as that clicked, I was all in.”
The couple was long-distance at first
After meeting on Bachelor in Paradise, Godwin and Barbour originally started a long-distance relationship. Even though they lived in different cities, the two made the effort to see each other multiple times a week.
“I would say more often than not, we’re together more than couples that live in the same city that don’t live together, to be honest,” Barbour told People Magazine.
Godwin then admitted their decision to live in different cities was a purposeful one.
“We don’t want to have any undercover or deep-rooted resentment or something for making a decision too early about where we’re going to be,” Godwin told People Magazine. “I feel like Dylan feels like he has a little home here in L.A., and I feel like I have a little home in San Diego right now. That’s what it’s feeling like, which has been nice.”

“So how do I say this casually? We have a wedding date. Like, actually,” Godwin said in a TikTok. “And you would think that after being engaged for almost four years that I would give myself enough time to like really plan it out, be particular, but, you know, it’s happening in six months, in August.”
