Raven Gates Reflects on Leaving ‘Paradise’ with Adam Gottschalk 6 Years Ago: ‘I’m Forever Grateful’

Looking back.
Bachelor Nation fans got to know and love Raven Gates Gottschalk on Season 21 of “The Bachelor” and on Season 4 of “Bachelor in Paradise,” where she met her husband, Adam Gottschalk.
Raven and Adam are currently expecting their second child together, and the Bachelor Nation star just took to Instagram to look back on their love story.
She shared a photo from their final Rose Ceremony in “Paradise” and reflected on leaving the beach together six years ago this week.
Alongside the pic, Raven wrote, “6 years ago today, the cameras turned off, our mic packs were turned in, and we looked at each other & said ‘What do you want to do now?’ We agreed to continue dating, but if at any point it doesn’t work out, let’s not waste each other’s time. Let’s just be honest and end it.”

Fast-forward six years and the two couldn’t be happier!
Raven went on, writing, “6 years later we just got our son’s first haircut together. We started out in ‘Paradise’ and I’m still living in my own true paradise with you and our growing family. I love you, @adam_gottschalk and thank you @bachelorabc for an opportunity of our two worlds colliding. I’m forever grateful.”
So sweet!
Raven also shared this week that she’s got her hospital bag packed and they are getting ready to welcome baby number two!
We can’t wait to meet the newest member of the Gottschalk family, and we love Raven and Adam’s love even more today than we did six years ago.
