Becca's Bachelorette Journey Begins
Becca, our fearless leading lady, was a fan favorite from Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of The Bachelor. After a heart-wrenching finale that left viewers in tears, Becca was ready to find love again. Her season premiered in May 2018, and 28 handsome, eligible bachelors were vying for her heart.
The Men Enter the Mansion
Among the contestants were some standout guys, like Garrett Yrigoyen, a sweet and charming medical sales rep from Nevada. Blake Horstmann, a charismatic and successful sales rep from Colorado, also caught Becca's eye. And let's not forget Jason Tartick, a handsome and intelligent senior corporate banker from Seattle.
Early Favorites and Early Exits
Becca's season was filled with drama, laughs, and plenty of tears. Early on, some contestants made their mark, while others quickly faded into the background. Chris Randone and Wills Reid were early favorites, but their journeys were cut short. Meanwhile, Colton Underwood's virginity confession and dramatic exit made headlines.
The Drama Unfolds
As the season progressed, the drama intensified. David Ravitz's controversial comments about other contestants led to his elimination. Leo Dottavio's questionable behavior and Nick Spetsas's lies about his past also didn't go unnoticed.
Hometowns and Fantasy Suites
With only a few men left, Becca met their families in the hometown dates. She connected deeply with Garrett's family in Mankato, Minnesota, and Blake's family in Bailey, Colorado. The fantasy suite dates in Thailand were filled with romance and tough decisions for Becca.
The Final Rose Ceremony
The emotionally charged finale aired in August 2018. Becca, Garrett, and Blake were the final three standing. After a heartfelt conversation with Blake, Becca realized she couldn't see a future with him. She sent him home, leaving Garrett and Becca to exchange their final I love you's.
And the Winner is... Garrett Yrigoyen!
In a romantic and emotional proposal, Garrett got down on one knee and presented Becca with a stunning Neil Lane engagement ring. Tears of joy streamed down Becca's face as she accepted his proposal, officially making him the Bachelorette winner of 2018.
Life After The Bachelorette
Since their engagement, Becca and Garrett have been going strong. They've faced challenges, like Garrett's controversial Instagram likes, but they've always come out stronger. They currently live together in California with their fur baby, Chester.
Becca's journey as The Bachelorette in 2018 was filled with highs and lows, but in the end, she found her happily ever after with Garrett. Here's to many more years of love and laughter for this beautiful couple!
