Bachelor alum Cᴀssie Randolph is engaged to musician Brighton Reinhardt, four years after splitting from Colton Underwood.
The former reality star, 29, revealed that her man popped the question along the Newport Coast after she took a pre-dinner stroll with her family, according to People.
As she approached the last cottage on the path, the TV personality revealed Brighton ‘dropped to a knee and asked, “Will you marry me?”‘
As he pulled out a 5.04 carat engagement ring, which is engraved with her first initial and birthstone, Randolph recalled ‘immediately’ saying: ‘Oh my gosh, yes!’
‘I was completely caught off guard,’ she confessed. ‘I had no idea.’
Reinhardt’s proposal was captured by Randolph’s pal, Krissy, who hid ‘a few yards away’ and took pictures of them before going on to congratulate them.

Although they only began dating in 2020, the pair were friends for about ‘five years’ first.
Back in 2021, she told People that their friendship ‘helped make’ their relationship so strong.
‘It was kind of that we were really young and then we just became friends. And that was it for years. We’d hang out with each other’s siblings and families and stuff,’ she explained.
At the time, she referred to Reinhardt as her ‘best friend’ and said that was the key to their happy relationship.
‘I feel like we get each other on a different level, especially being friends for so long before. It just made it really natural and easy,’ she noted. ‘I love everything about him.’
Previously she was in a relationship with Underwood, who came out as gay on April 14, 2021 during an interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America.

Following their breakup, Randolph filed a restraining order against Colton and accused him of stalking her, harᴀssing her and even planting a tracking device in her car.
She was granted a temporary restraining order, but ultimately dismissed it.
Her now-fiancé seemingly addressed the incident in a 2021 track, тιтled Creep, which was released in 2021.
The track’s lyrics read: ‘You can’t stop thinking about my baby / What once was yours in the world is changing / God, I hope you get your thinking right / GPS on the underside / Told her everything will be just fine / Damn, I can’t believe these guys’
In his interview with Robin Roberts, Underwood expressed remorse over the role he played at the end of their relationship.
‘I made mistakes at the end of that relationship, and I ruined the good memories we had by my actions and what I did to hold on to being straight because I didn’t want to look myself in the mirror,’ he said. ‘So for that, I’m extremely, extremely sorry.’
He also insisted that despite his Sєxuality he was in love with Randolph during their relationship and apologized to her during the interview.

The former professional football player continued: ‘I’ve ran from myself for a long time. I’ve hated myself for a long time, and I’m gay. And I came to terms with that earlier this year and have been processing it.’
In his autobiography, Underwood confessed that he questioned whether he was gay as early as grade school, and had been struggling with his emotions.
Last month, Underwood and his husband, Jordan C. Brown, announced the arrival of their first child together.
