He expressed it was the first time he felt he had found someone with whom he could be himself ‘unapologetically’. The reality TV personality then pulled out an engagement ring and said,

In December 2023, the two went public with their relationship during the Bachelor In Paradise season 9 finale. Bowers competed for the latest BIP season, however, he ended up as a single man.

Once when the finale of BIP aired, Madrell went Instagram official with her romance with Brayden. She wrote,

“AHHH! We can ‘FINALEy’ shout it from the rooftops!! Beyond the cameras and reality show drama, Brayden (aka MY BOYFRIEND!) and I found something truly special. In each other, we have a space where being unapologetically ourselves is not just accepted but celebrated!”

Further, she shared that his now-fiance is now moving to her hometown of Nashville as they enter the next phase of their relationship. She added,

“Something I never knew I was missing until I did. We can finally share our goofy, love-filled world. San Diego to Nashville won’t be just a change of scenery but the next chapter in our journey as a team.”

“A future where laughter, authenticity, and the strength of ‘US’ define our story. From goofy antics to heartfelt moments, we’re on this adventure together, cheering each other on, and creating a home filled with laughter and love. Grateful for the ease of being exactly who we are with one another. There’s something incredibly special about finding a love that feels like home.”

Well if you don’t know Christina is already a mom to a daughter named Blakely, whom she shared with ex Blake Dennis.
