Happily ever after!<\/p>\n
Bachelor Nation watched Mel Owens search for love on Season 2 of \u201cThe Golden Bachelor,\u201d and fans just saw him hand out his final rose.<\/p>\n
The finale ended with him giving Peg a ring as a symbol of his commitment, and the two have been enjoying life together ever since.<\/p>\n
The happy couple stopped by for an exclusive chat with\u00a0BachelorNation.com, where they opened up about their future plans, the holidays, a potential engagement, where they\u2019ll live, and more.<\/p>\n
When it comes to the commitment ring, Mel shared what it means to him.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cA ring is symbolic of the commitment, but you have to live the commitment and stand by it with your actions. This was our commitment going forward to live our lives the way we want to. Whatever comes after, comes after, we are going to live the way we want to live and it\u2019s going to be fun. The ring is a symbol, but it\u2019s more the way we act towards each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

The unlucky in love beauty\u00a0bounced back from her recent heartache with a smile at\u00a0Winter<\/span>\u00a0Wonderland in Hyde Park,\u00a0London<\/span>.<\/p>\n She joined Liv Hawkins, Casey, and All Stars winning couple\u00a0Molly Smith\u00a0and\u00a0Tom Clare\u00a0at the festive spectacular.<\/p>\n A source said: \u201cLauren and Casey were inseparable all night and really flirty. They were hanging out with Tom and Molly and couldn\u2019t take their eyes off each other.\u201d<\/p>\n Lauren looked stylish in a thick fur coat, white crop top and baggy jeans, while Casey wrapped up in a quilted jacket, zip-up top and blue jeans.<\/p>\n At one point, smitten Lauren bit her finger with her eyes locked on Casey, who recently made his fourth appearance on the\u00a0dating<\/span>\u00a0show for\u00a0Love Island Games.<\/p>\n He\u2019s been single since splitting from his villa ex\u00a0Gabby Allen\u00a0in May.<\/p>\n Harrison and Lauren appeared to take cheeky swipes at each other following their separation last week.<\/p>\n The pair called it quits just two months after the ITV2 show ended in August \u2013 but many fans were surprised it lasted that long given Harrison\u2019s womanising ways in the villa.<\/p>\n Though the pair insisted everything was amicable, their TikTok uploads suggested underlying tension.<\/p>\n Harrison posted a picture of himself, writing: \u201cNah babe I still fancy you, it\u2019s just the fact you reached for your vape before your brushed your\u00a0<\/p>\n He captioned it: \u201cJust a trend guys, can\u2019t relate.\u201d Insisting it wasn\u2019t about Lauren when quizzed by fans, he said: \u201cNo, she doesn\u2019t vape.\u201d<\/p>\n Lauren\u00a0appeared to respond with a video clip of her wearing a leopard print top and standing in a bathroom.<\/p>\n She wrote: \u201cNah don\u2019t worry I still fancy you, it\u2019s just when you take longer to get ready than me that throws me off.\u201d<\/p>\n Harrison\u00a0later posted a video of himself singing a song called Ten Years Time by Henry Moodie and wrote: \u201cThis is your sign to break no contact.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cGo message your ex gang.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans were quick to have their say on the apparent back and forth.<\/p>\n One unimpressed person commented: \u201cLauren dodged a massive bullet.\u201d<\/p>\n Another TikTok user speculated: \u201cHe knew people would assume this is about Lauren and still posted it.\u201d<\/p>\n Somebody else said: \u201cIt\u2019s actually crazy that Lauren couldn\u2019t see how little he respects her. I do feel bad for her, but God it\u2019s not like everyone didn\u2019t warn her.\u201d<\/p>\n Lauren broke the\u00a0news<\/span>\u00a0of the split, writing on Instagram: \u201cHi everyone, Harrison and I have decided to no longer continue our relationship but will remain friends as everything was amicable and mutual.<\/p>\n \u201cWe share such amazing memories together, ones that not many can relate to.<\/p>\n \u201cPlease respect our privacy whilst we navigate going our separate ways.\u201d<\/p>\n Harrison\u00a0shared his own statement\u00a0that read: \u201cLife\u2019s obviously been really full-on since leaving the villa.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously between work, travel, and everything going on, it just became really hard to find time to really focus on each other.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t want it to get to that point. I don\u2019t think either of us did, but we just had to have a conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n The star told The Daily Mail: \u201cWe sat down, had an open and honest conversation and have decided to part ways but there\u2019s no bad blood at all.<\/p>\n \u201cWe just drifted a bit after the show which is unfortunate, but we\u2019re still on really good terms. I\u2019ve still got a lot of love for her and I wish her all the best as well.\u201d<\/p>\n After their statements were released, fans speculated\u00a0they had \u201cplanned\u201d their split\u00a0so they can get snapped up by bosses for the\u00a0next<\/span>\u00a0series of All Stars when it kicks off in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happily ever after!
