Timm Hanly has truly put his Bachelorette and Bachelor In Paradise days behind him after announcing his engagement to his girlfriend Briana De La Motte.
The former reality TV star popped the question to his long-time love over the weekend and shared the news with his Instagram followers on Sunday.
“It was always you, and always will be,” Timm penned in the caption.
The post featured a loved-up photo of the pair embracing in front of rose petals that spelled out ‘I [heart] you’, as well as a close-up snap of the ring.
The couple was quickly congratulated on the news in the comments, including by several of Timm’s former reality TV co-stars and friends.
“Wowwww! Congratulations!!,” Bachelorette co-star Jackson Garlick said, followed by Ciarran Stott, Jamie Doran and Carlin Sterritt.
“Amazingggg! Congratulations guys,” Bachelor In Paradise star Jessica Brody wrote, along with Keira Maguire and Mary Viturino.
Timm followed up with a behind-the-scenes video of the proposal set-up and seemingly took a dig at his Bachie days in the caption.
“Didn’t need a film crew for this,” he said. “This one’s real life.”
In the clip, Briana takes her seat at a candle-lit table set up for two, with the mood for the evening made romantic by rose petals and soft lighting.
The pair had been dating on and off for six years before Timm appeared on Angie Kent’s season of the Bachelorette in 2019, and later on Bachelor In Paradise.
It was in paradise that Timm and Brittany Hockley struck up a romance, and while they left Fiji together to explore things in the ‘real world’, the two split shortly after returning to Australia.
Not only did Timm ghost Britt shortly after their exit, but he also confirmed that he had gotten back with Briana while the show was still airing.
