After Greg Grippo\u2019s emotional Hometowns exit left her heartbroken, Katie decided to push through and finish out the season with Blake Moynes and Justin Glaze as her final two men.<\/p>\n<p>During a romantic Fantasy Suite date with Blake, Katie broke her rule of waiting to say \u201cI love you\u201d until the very end, officially making up her mind that Blake was The One. Despite a rough meeting with her family, Blake got down on one knee and put a ring on Katie\u2019s finger, marking the end of their time on the show and the start of their life together.<\/p>\n<p>The h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y couple appeared on the latest episode of the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bachelornation.com\/pages\/bachelorhappyhour\/\"><em>Bachelor Happy Hour<\/em><\/a> podcast to talk with host Becca Kufrin and guest host Tayshia Adams about their journey and life after the show and what re-watching their proposal means to them.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the world knows about their engagement, people will have their opinions on their relationship. On the podcast, Katie stated that she received advice from both Becca and <em>Bachelorette<\/em> co-host Kaitlyn Bristowe, who both advised her to put away her phone for a while and focus on spending quality time with Blake. Tayshia agreed, saying, \u201cAll is right in your world. You\u2019re right next to each other. That\u2019s all you need to worry about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Becca brought up the fact that Blake joined the show mid-season, asking if either of them thought their journey would have played out differently had he been there from the beginning. Katie and Blake agreed that the result would have remained the same, given their strong connection with each other from the get-go. In fact, his previous experience on the show made it easier for them to connect. \u201cI think what maybe stood out, and like, kinda had in his favor, was he\u2019d gone through this before, so there was a level of chill with him, in terms of, like, the cameras didn\u2019t faze him and the environment, which then made me feel calm because I\u2019m, you know, nervous as the lead.\u201d Blake stated that if he had come out of the limo that first night, their relationship would only have been stronger, given that he would have been in the house longer.<\/p>\n<p>Following up, Becca asked if Blake\u2019s entrance into the house made her feel protective of him, worried about how the other guys would react. \u201cHonestly, no. He\u2019s so confident in himself that not once was I worried about how he was gonna handle it,\u201d Katie said. \u201cI was actually surprised that overall, everyone was pretty accepting of him, but ultimately, I was like, \u2018Good luck! I have my own things to worry about. Wish you the best,\u2019 and yeah, he did just fine without me being there to protect them.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1008871\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1008871\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1008871 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/the-bachelorette-season-17-finale-katie-and-blake-engaged-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"'The Bachelorette,' Season 17 Finale,Katie &amp; Blake\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/the-bachelorette-season-17-finale-katie-and-blake-engaged-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/the-bachelorette-season-17-finale-katie-and-blake-engaged-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/the-bachelorette-season-17-finale-katie-and-blake-engaged-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/the-bachelorette-season-17-finale-katie-and-blake-engaged-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/the-bachelorette-season-17-finale-katie-and-blake-engaged-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/the-bachelorette-season-17-finale-katie-and-blake-engaged.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1008871\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ABC\/Craig Sjodin<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Blake, who appeared on Tayshia\u2019s season of <em>The Bachelorette<\/em>, knew what it was like being on the other side of the situation, as several men joined midway through Season 16. Blake stated that he tried to empathize with the guys in the house since he knew what it was like to be in their shoes. Katie agreed, joking, \u201cThey say Canadians are really nice, and I mean, it\u2019s very obvious that is actually a thing!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Blake\u2019s picturesque proposal seemed perfect onscreen, Katie confessed that she didn\u2019t think it was going to happen. \u201cIt might not be as obvious to viewers, but to me, I wasn\u2019t sure he was proposing until he got down on one knee. So, as he\u2019s talking, I\u2019m thinking he\u2019s gearing me up to say like, \u2018I love you, but let\u2019s, like, wait,\u2019 you know,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd then when he gets down on one knee, I\u2019m truly just so shocked that it\u2019s happening because I had already, in that moment, accepted that he was not going to. And so, I cry every time I watch it. It makes me happy.\u201d For those who stayed until the very end of the episode, Blake ripped his pants when getting up on his horse, which he confirmed actually happened on the podcast. Katie also mentioned that she noticed how tight his pants were and began to worry if he would propose because she couldn\u2019t see a ring box in his pocket!<\/p>\n<p>Post-finale, the couple is still doing well and is enjoying living together for the first time. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s not even about things I\u2019m getting to learn, it\u2019s actually getting to truly measure the progression of our relationship,\u201d said Katie. \u201cWe\u2019re a lot stronger, our love\u2019s a lot stronger, we know each other a lot more. It\u2019s just fun to be able to kinda see of see it progress each and every time.\u201d Blake commented on Katie\u2019s maturity and how living with her shows him \u201chow good of a wife she\u2019ll be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Bachelorette<\/em>, Mondays, 8\/7c, ABC<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
