Herron also wrote a lengthy message in the post’s caption to let her followers know about her feelings regarding her engagement.

She began her note by writing, ‘We are thrilled to share the announcement of our engagement! In our favorite place, with close friends and Rio, Dylan popped the question in front of Mount Sopris.’

The media personality also expressed that she was ecstatic to have ended up with the filmmaker and that her experiences on reality television paled in comparison to how she felt about her now-fiance.

‘To everyone who thinks life has to go in one particular order, or by a specific time… IT DOESN’T. I’d wait a lifetime all over again—through the heartbreaks, years of self-work and countless rose ceremonies—to end up with this person,’ she wrote.

Herron went on to note that the two were so invested in their relationship that they had agreed to start a family following their impending nuptials. 

‘We make each other better, we have so much fun and we’re going to become parents together, so we decided to do the damn thing,’ she wrote. 

The reality television personality’s video also showed the moment that her partner went down on one knee to pop the question to his now-fiancee.

It also featured moments from the post-engagement celebration and river rafting trip, on which they were accompanied by several friends.

Herron and Dylan met in 2017 after he was hired as a videographer for her inaugural SheLift retreat in Colorado.

In an Instagram post from 2018 where she described the circumstances of their first meeting, she wrote that she ‘was pretty certain I had a crush on him’ after working together.

The social media figure also noted that she ‘was drawn to his creative instinct, expertise on the ski hill, ability to direct firmly yet allow for compassion in a vulnerable environment.’

She then recalled that, after kissing him at the end of their first date, he was ‘undeniably hooked’ and they began a relationship shortly afterward, with Herron moving to his hometown of Carbondale, Colorado.

Herron is best known for her appearances on various seasons of shows from the Bachelor franchise.

She appeared on season 17 of The Bachelor, where she competed with 26 other contestants for the affection of author Sean Lowe.

Although she made it past the early stages, the newly-engaged media personality was eliminated in the sixth week of the competition. 

The reality television figure went on to be featured in the first and third seasons of Bachelor In Paradise, although she did not end up with another contestant during either appearance.
