Getting candid.

Bachelor Nation fan-favorite couple Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes (now known as the Bells) found love on Season 6 of “Bachelor in Paradise” and got engaged in 2022.

The two officially tied the knot on September 23, 2023, at Beyul Retreat in Meredith, Colorado.

Now the two just bought a home in Colorado and are starting their lives in Dean’s beautiful home state.

The fan-favorite duo stopped by BachelorNation.com for an exclusive chat about their relationship and shared advice for other couples.

Caelynn started off saying that no matter what, “People are always going to have opinions about you and people never thought we were going to last, and as long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”

Dean chimed in, adding, “At the beginning of our relationship, there was some negativity surrounding it publicly, and instead of letting that drive us apart, it brought us closer in a lot of ways. It gave us something to fight for and I love proving people wrong. It’s nice to overcome an obstacle together stronger.”

And since they’ve overcome ups and downs together as a couple, Caelynn and Dean shared advice for other couples.

Caelynn said that whether you’re a public couple or not, “I think privacy and protecting your relationship has to be first and foremost. We are in a public relationship, but I also don’t feel like we’re that public. We choose to share the parts of our life that we want to share and that’s the best way to keep the relationship successful.”

Dean also shared his words of wisdom, saying, “I think the best advice I have for couples is to stick to your guns. When Caelynn and I disagree on something, I want to stand my ground and I want her to stand on hers. I don’t want either of us to set aside our own thoughts to people please. We’re big on bending, not breaking. I want her to defend herself. If I’m mad about something and she stands up for herself, I respect it a lot. That goes for all couples, not just Bachelor couples.”

The Bachelor Nation couple also revealed that they love double dating with fellow Bachelor Nation couples.

Caelynn said, “We love double dating with Ben Higgins and Jess Clare and Wells Adams and Sarah Hyland. I also met Molly Mesnick at the Golden Wedding and loved her so much, and Dean really hit it off with Jason Mesnick, so hopefully we see more of them. We also love Trista and Ryan Sutter too!”

And Dean added, “You can’t go wrong with any of the Bachelor Nation couples. We really love them all. We got to see Jade and Tanner Tolbert too, and Raven and Adam Gottschalk and Jared and Ashley Haibon, so yeah, we really love them all!”

Love that!
