The couple started dating on the fourth season of “Bachelor in Paradise.” In 2017, Gates revealed when she knew she was in love with Gottschalk, posting on Instagram, “I knew I was gonna keep Adam around the first weekend we spent together outside of paradise.”
She added, “We met in Memphis & had a blast that weekend (after the initial awkward moment we realized okay this isn't paradise anymore.. this is our REAL lives.) & the morning after a night of dinner, drinking & dancing Adam had put my phone on the charger, left a glass of water by my bed, food & an Advil (hah!).”
A year later, Raven played coy about a possible engagement on “The Morning Toast.” She said, “I don't know, maybe, maybe.”
She shared about their life in Dallas, “I'm really obsessed with Adam. I'm just really happy to be with him. I really do feel, like, butterflies talking about him. He at first was, like, so obsessed with me, and now I'm so obsessed with him. I'm calling him from work, like, 'When are you coming home? Are you home yet? Can you come home early?'”
At the time, a source told Us Weekly, “People close to them wouldn't be surprised if they get engaged sometime in the summer or around 'Paradise' Season 5!”
The engagement happened two months before the sixth season will premiere!
