Wedding bells are ringing!

Bachelor Nation fans got to know Chloie Costello on Season 29 of “The Bachelor” as she looked for love with Grant Ellis. 

Since her time on the show, she has been keeping fans updated with her life online and hanging out with fellow Bachelor Nation alumni.

Last week, Chloie took to Instagram to hard-launch her new relationship with boyfriend Hutch Hershberger.

And now, the Bachelor Nation star is chatting on the “Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour” podcast about how Hutch is the one for her!

Chloie shared about their love story and revealed that the two of them knew each other before she went on “The Bachelor.” 

“There was a guy that I’ve been friends with for a few years. And when I was out in L.A. last year, he had moved back. He’s from L.A.,” she said. 

“And we had kind of established we’re not friends anymore and so we started seeing each other for a few months, but the timing wasn’t right. We ended things, and then fast-forward six or seven months… he showed up in New York right before I was leaving and didn’t know that I was going on the show… I go on the show, and I get back, and shortly after that, he reached out again.” 

Podcast co-hosts Susan Noles and Kathy Swarts then asked Chloie where the two of them are in their relationship now, and Chloie excitedly replied, “Now we’re in love! He’s the best.” 

Susan then asked what changed in their relationship from before and Chloie answered that she feels like they needed more time. 

“It just wasn’t the right time,” she replied. “And I think we both saw this thing in one another, but we both kind of needed a little bit more time to figure things out and I feel like once I got off the show, it was like, ‘Okay, I got my cake and got to eat it too. I got this amazing experience, I learned so much, I met amazing people. I feel like I was meant to go on the show and make this experience.’ 

“And so I just feel like after, everything kind of shifted and clicked and we met back up and just kind of immediately were like, ‘This is it.’”

Chloie also went on to share what she loves most about him and what makes their relationship so special. 

She expressed, “I think he’s extremely empathetic and caring. He has the biggest heart. I think that he is so silly and playful and makes me laugh and I’ve never really had that in a partner before. And I feel like I’ve always been the biggest personality in a relationship and we really kind of go back and forth, which is such a fun dynamic.” 

Kathy then asked if the two are talking about getting married, and Chloie gave a very exciting answer. 

“Yeah, we are talking marriage! He’s the one. He’s the one, yeah. It’s crazy to say,” she replied.
