Hannah Godwin And Dylan Barbour's Entire Relationship Timeline
While "The Bachelor" franchise isn't exactly known for a stellar track record when it comes to long-lasting couples, we feel pretty confident that Bachelor Nation favorites Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour are going to stick. The adorable couple met on Season 6 of "Bachelor in Paradise," and after surviving the heat, the drama, and even a love triangle, we're pretty sure that Godwin and Barbour can handle any obstacle that comes their way.
Although Godwin and Barbour have been engaged for over two years now, they're still just as smitten with each other as they were on the show, and have taken some pretty big steps together since the "BiP" finale that aired in 2019. In an interview with Glamour, Barbour sweetly admitted, "I want things to keep being fun, cool, and new. But at the end of the day, it really just matters that Hannah is there."
Since they've taken luxurious trips to Paris, thrown some pretty wild parties, and bought their own house together, we think it's safe to say that Barbour and Godwin are definitely keeping things "fun, cool, and new." Let's take a look at the pair's relationship, from the beaches of Mexico to the San Diego sea.
Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour met on Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise
Although Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour had a rocky start to "Bachelor in Paradise" while they were caught in a love triangle with Blake Horstmann, by the end of the second rose ceremony, Barbour and Godwin were solidified as one of the strongest — and most adorable — couples on the beach (via People).
Barbour explained what the experience was like to The Williams Record and said that, "I had so much fun. We'd hang out in the pool all day and goof off. We'd eat tacos, walk, drink margaritas, just talk — which was super cool — just have normal conversations, like what we wanted to do in life, our families, things like that."
Godwin also revealed in an interview with Glamour that there were a lot of "actual conversations" on the show that the viewers didn't get to see. Godwin shared, "We talked about what [Dylan] wants to do with his job, what his career plans are, what makes him, him."
Dylan Barbour revealed that he was falling in love with Hannah Godwin during BiP
With the love triangle drama out of the way, Dylan Barbour and Hannah Godwin were finally able to focus on their relationship. During a one-on-one date complete with a romantic dinner on "Bachelor in Paradise," Barbour sweetly revealed to Godwin that he was "starting to fall in love" with her. He shared, "I did not come to spend the summer with you, like I came for us to spend everything after it together."
From that moment on, the full focus was on the pair's relationship. Barbour and Godwin were pretty much attached at the hip and spent every moment of paradise chatting in the pool about everything from their favorite foods to real estate (via Glamour).
In an interview with Glamour, Godwin described how she was completely smitten with Barbour during "BiP" from the second he hit the beach. Godwin shared, "You can't plan a connection. Dylan's just very friendly, very sweet, very ... just the best."

Barbour sweetly admitted, "I mean, this is the end of paradise, but it's just the beginning of our story," to which Godwin responded, "I truly didn't know that I could deserve somebody as great as you."
Although Barbour and Godwin were clearly in love, Godwin shared her concerns about getting engaged before her family had the opportunity to meet her potential future husband. She vulnerably explained, "I am terrified and ... really scared about being broken again" after her last relationship with Colton Underwood on "The Bachelor" (via Refinery29). As usual, Barbour always knew exactly what to say. He assured Godwin, "I know how important your family is to you and it is one of the million reasons why I love you." Barbour then promised that he was more than ready to fly to Alabama that night to meet Godwin's parents.
Godwin couldn't help but grin in response, leading Barbour to finally get down on one knee and propose to Godwin. Of course, Godwin accepted.
The two enjoyed spending time together after Bachelor in Paradise

The Bachelor stars announced a potential wedding date

Godwin shared with Us Weekly in September 2021, "We've been eyeing 2023 so we'll see how it goes." She added later, "For our wedding, we'd just want it to be personal, like, as close-knit as we possibly can. We want to just keep it personal and small." She noted that she believes they'll have a better time if they don't have to be constantly welcoming people who attend their big day. She noted, "It's going to be nice I think just to have everybody ... like for it to be a memory for everybody and not just like us. We want to really enjoy it."
Between the duo's multiple partnerships with brands like Rum Haven, the launch of Godwin's photo editing app Setty, promoting Dylan's company Vizer, and hopefully a little wedding planning, Godwin and Barbour have plenty of things to keep them busy until the special day finally does arrive.
