This Week in Bachelor Nation History: Desiree & Chris Siegfried Enjoy a Special 1-on-1 Date in Munich
Throwing it back!
Fans first met Desiree on Season 17 of “The Bachelor.” While things didn’t work out between Desiree and Sean Lowe, Des went on to be the Season 9 Bachelorette.
Throughout the ups and downs of her journey as the Bachelorette, Chris Siegfried continued to show up for Des regardless of what happened with the other men.
She eventually gave Chris her final rose and the two got engaged during the Season 9 finale.
The couple is still together to this day and they share two children, Asher Wrigley and Zander Cruz.
Now, this week in Bachelor Nation history, we’re looking back on one of their first dates together in none other than Munich, Germany!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
During Season 9 of “The Bachelorette,” Des got to travel to Europe for the very first time with the men vying for her heart.
Upon arriving in Munich, she said, “It’s beautiful here and I’m going to have the best time of my life. Munich is so romantic. The buildings are beautiful and full of history. The architecture in this city is just amazing. I am so excited to date in this city.”
And for her first date in the city, Desiree took Chris to tour the old city and sightsee.
The two had a blast sampling sausages and beer and even tried on lederhosen!
During their date, Des and Chris swapped relationship stories and Chris ended it by reading a romantic poem he wrote just for her.
Touched by his sincerity, Desiree kissed Chris, and love was clearly in the air!
Later that night, the two continued their date with dinner in a royal hall where they were serenaded by singer Matt White who sang his hit “Love and Affection.”
Chris ended up receiving the rose and, well, the rest is history!
