When it comes to finding love, few have had more harrowing and public journeys than Colton Underwood.
Underwood first gained moderate notoriety when his career with the NFL began to take off.
However, the pair never made it down the aisle.

It wasn’t until he experienced attempted blackmail, according toVariety, that he decided to come out.
“I’m gay.
I’m the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been in my life.

Just months later, in September 2021, Underwood and boyfriendJordan Brownconfirmed that they were in a relationship.
Underwood recently spent a post-birthday weekend in Big Sur with Brown, which is where the couple got engaged.
“I’m extremely happy!
2021 was the most transformative year of my life,” Underwood said toPeople.
It looks as though the couple is enjoying pre-wedded bliss and looking forward to walking down the aisle.
