While bachelor nation couples can come and go, Serena PittShe has always believed that she is capable of achieving her goals. Joe Amabile are going to make it down the aisle — and now she’s ready to officially start wedding planning.
“I think we did always know we were gonna get here. I think the most crucial time is right after the show — at least for us. Going into it, we were like, ‘This is kind of the first test,’” the 24-year-old reality star exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting her partnership with Pantene and the brand’s Pro-Vitamin formula shampoo and deep conditioning treatment. “We know we love each other; we see a future together. But, right after the show, we spend that time outside the world, like, how is that compatibility? Could we live together without wanting to kill each other? After that initial transition went so smoothly, there was really nothing but confidence in the future of our relationship and we always knew we were gonna end up getting married.”
Amabile, 36, and Pitt got engaged in the finale of season 7. Bachelor in ParadiseThe series aired on October 20, 2021.
“I don’t think it ever really bothered us — people asking about [our relationship] — maybe because we did have that confidence,” she continued. “It never felt like [there was]We don’t feel pressured or forced to rush. We just feel confident. People are gonna ask and that’s OK, but then we just have to do what’s best for our relationship.”
While Pitt and Amabile had their own challenges on ABC’s show, season 8 will bring a new twist to the cast. Love Island’Casa Amor is a way to separate couples and bring in new contestants to test their relationships.
“As a viewer, I think it’s gonna be really fun and exciting to watch because it’s something different that we haven’t seen before — it’s gonna bring new challenges, new drama, maybe new love stories. As a past contestant, I would’ve hated that concept,” Pitt told Use. “I would’ve been so frustrated because I’m assuming that they’re gonna wait a little bit into the season to separate them. For me, Joe was very set on me early on. My only goal was to improve our relationship, get to know each others and reach a point where we could both leave together. I don’t know how long they’re separated for, I don’t really know much about it, but all I know is I would’ve been pissed off. I would’ve been like, ‘My whole point here is to hang out with Joe and he’s in another villa in some part of Puerto Vallarta.’”
After the show, the couple decided to take the time to celebrate their engagement by hosting a party in July for their family members and friends.
“We definitely had said after we got engaged [that]We were open to hosting an engagement party. It wasn’t necessarily something that we were like, ‘We have to do this,’ because, obviously, we were engaged for a year before we celebrated, but I know that we wanted to get our family and friends together and that was kind of the best way to go about it,” Pitt said. “Our parents actually met at the engagement party. … It was really more about the coming together of our two worlds. It was a good reason to bring everyone together.”
After much debate, the Canadian native and the former Chicago resident moved in with each other in New York City earlier this year.
“It was really easy,” Pitt told UseAmabile would be thrilled to move in with you. “I feel like we kind of already lived together even though we didn’t because I did [have]Things are great at his Chicago home and we spend a lot time there together. [wasn’t]Living together fully. I mean the two closets definitely was an adjustment and New York apartments are a little smaller than what the Chicago apartment was, but we’ve made it work and we love living together. We’re lucky with how smooth it was. I think we’re very prepared for it.”
