AceShowbiz - Bekah Martinez is hearing wedding bells. The former contestant of "The Bachelor" announced her engagement to her partner Grayston Leonard by sharing photos in which she showed off her new ring.
The 27-year-old posted the images on Instagram on Sunday, July 10. One of the snaps showed her locking lips with her fiance as she cheekily held her ring finger up to the camera to flaunt her new heart-shaped sparkler. She simply captioned the post by writing, "YES."
Just a few weeks prior, Bekah shared a TikTok video in which she pretended to daydream over Grayston's proposal. However, she divulged that he "already proposed to me three years ago and I said no but still took pics."
On the reason why she didn't accept the first proposal, Bekah explained in another TikTok post that "he proposed only two weeks" after they welcomed their daughter Ruth in 2019. "He proposed only two weeks later, the day after Valentine's Day and I was like, 'This is so sweet, but now is just not the time. I'm still super hormonal. I'm in the thick of postpartum, ' " she recalled.
"Also, our relationship still wasn't in the best place," the TV personality admitted. "We had a lot to sort through, a lot we had to talk through, and I also didn't want an engagement and a marriage to just be because we had a baby... I wanted it to be something special that was a commitment that we both felt like we wanted to make to each other. Just between the two of us."
However, Bekah hinted that things got better between the two after the couple welcomed their son Franklin in 2020. "We have two kids together, we've sorted through a lot in couple's therapy and now I feel ready to say yes," she declared.
