Bachelor Nation’s Becca Tilley Is Engaged to Hayley Kiyoko! See Her Massive Ring
Congratulations are in order for Bachelor Nation alum Becca Tilley! The former two-time contestant didn’t find love on The Bachelor, but she’s now engaged to longtime girlfriend Hayley Kiyoko.
The ladies announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post on Thursday, July 10, with Kiyoko gushing, “My dream girl said yes to forever…”
The post also included photos from the proposal, which featured Kioyko down on one knee and Tilley in tears. The singer popped the question overlooking the water, and the women jumped into the bright blue sea to celebrate afterwards.
There were also close-up shots of Tilley’s massive emerald-cut ring, which sits atop a thin gold band. The comments section was filled with supportive messages from fellow Bachelor Nation stars and other celebs.
Of course, Tilley’s Season 20 castmate and BFF JoJo Fletcher was one of the first commenters, gushing, “My girls! I love yall so much and cannot wait to see this beautiful next chapter unfold for the two of you!” Becca Kufrin wrote, “Stop it right now CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ soak in this special time and feel allllll the love!” and Ashley Iaconetti said, “AAAAAWWHHHHHHHHHHYH congratulations! I knew this was the next wedding! Love you both.”
Tilley was the runner-up on Chris Soules‘ season of The Bachelor, then returned to date Ben Higgins the following year. She was eliminated in Week 7, just ahead of hometown dates.
Although Tilley and Kiyoko didn’t confirm their relationship until 2022, there was years of speculation that they were an item. Kiyoko eventually revealed that they’d been together since 2018 when they went public.
After coming out, Tilley said on her podcast, “I was not prepared for the amount of love and support that we got. Like, I just could have never predicted.” Kiyoko also told People, “It feels really good. I mean, we lived a very normal life. It just wasn’t on social media. We lived very open. And we’ve been together for four years, but now it’s on social media. And now we get to share with the world. It’s just been really nice. We’ve had so much love and support.”
