True Bachelorette fans know that Ben Z. made it pretty far in Season 11 of the show. He was eliminated shortly after the group arrived in Dublin, Ireland. At the time, Ben said he felt blindsided when he didn’t get a rose and commented that Kaitlyn was a woman his mom “would have been proud to meet.” Ben also appeared on Season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise. However, he ended up quitting the show in week three. But don’t worry — while Ben’s Bachelor journey was over, his search for love was not!
Shortly after leaving Bachelor in Paradise, Ben met Stacy Santilena, a dental hygienist from San Jose, Calif. The two started dating and (drumroll, please) got engaged after two years together! The couple was spending time together near Lake Tahoe in August of 2019 when suddenly, Ben proposed (and Stacy obviously said yes).
“On Friday, August twenty-third at approximately 6:30 p.m., the most amazing man in the world became mine forever!” Stacy wrote on Instagram. “I still pinch myself every day that he is my boyfriend, now I’m trying to wrap my head around him as my fiancé!” They quickly dove into wedding planning and booked a July date at a California ranch. Alas, their wedding plans — along with many other engaged couples’ hit an unexpected obstacle.
