Some celebrity couples have celebrated their love over the years by recapturing the magic of their original proposal.
Long after Arie Luyendyk Jr. found his happily ever after with wife Lauren Burnham, the former Bachelor decided to honor their relationship by getting down on one knee once again in October 2021.
“The ring I gave her on The Bachelor was obviously paid for,” Luyendyk Jr. explained on the couple’s YouTube channel at the time. “We never really felt like it was something I chose for her, so I got her another ring. I’m re-proposing today. I’m a little nervous. … Cross your fingers for me."
Luyendyk Jr. wasn't the only Bachelor Nation alum who decided to have another proposal off camera. Jordan Rodgers popped the question to his fiancé, JoJo Fletcher, three years after they got engaged during season 12 of The Bachelorette.
“I love @joelle_fletcher with all my heart!!” Rodgers wrote via Instagram in August 2019. “I always wanted to re-propose, with no cameras, no producers, no drama … just us. Our first engagement was so real, and meant so much to us both, but as we start to actually plan our wedding for next year I wanted to do it all over again, OUR WAY!”
He continued: “So I bought a new ring, made a plan (that almost fell apart multiple times), and got down on one knee all over again. This time it was simple: Joelle is the love of my life, she is my rock, she is the funniest, strongest, and sweetest person I have ever known. The first time around I fell in love with a lot of what you all love about JoJo. But this time around I got on one knee and vowed to honor and protect her heart, which is the greatest part of her.”
