“Throughout it all, it was always you. I just had to find you. I love you,” Kraus, 40, wrote via Instagram on Friday, July 4, alongside photos from his proposal to Ostapchuk, 34. “Words cannot express the love and happiness we feel. Last night was truly magical and only possible because of an amazing support system of incredible people in our lives! We are so thankful.”

Kraus continued: “Thank you Marge and Jim for sharing your home. Thank you @jenniferrayephoto for the incredible photos. And thank you Mom, Dad, Jack, Lori, and Andy for giving us your blessings and love! We are ENGAGED!! 💍🤍🍾.”

Kraus has been dating Ostapchuk since 2024. Before going public with Ostapchuk, Kraus’ search for The One was documented on season 13 of The Bachelorette. After vying for Lindsay’s heart, Kraus walked away the runner-up. Lindsay, 40, subsequently got engaged to Bryan Abasolo after an infamous argument with Kraus on screen where he told her to “go find someone to have a mediocre life with” during their breakup.

“I think I felt that I knew in that moment that I could provide a very healthy, happy relationship with this person. Whether that was true or not, I can’t tell you. But in that moment, it’s what I felt,” Kraus explained on the “Almost Famous” podcast in May. “The relationship that I had built with her to that point seemed like it would be a lot of fun to be in after that time.”

 

Kraus clarified his “very hurtful and inappropriate” comment.

“I did say those words, which I won’t even repeat because I think they’re really gross,” he added at the time. “And I tried to apologize for it, but that only means so much when it’s in front of millions of people and you’re already hurt and feeling betrayed, I’m sure, by someone who could say that to you.”

Lindsay, meanwhile, has previously called out the focus on her breakup from Kraus over her engagement to Abasolo, 45.

“For me, the reason there was so much emotion [in the finale] was because that was closure for me, that was it,” Lindsay exclusively told Us Weekly in 2018. “And I really haven’t talked to him because I don’t have anything else to say. From what I hear, he’s doing well too.”

Lindsay and Abasolo ultimately got married in 2019. After more than four years of marriage, Us confirmed in January 2024 that they had filed for divorce, which was finalized one year later.

“I was very surprised when I saw that it happened. I was very sad by the fact that so many people were championing the fact that it did happen,” Kraus added in May, noting that it was “disgusting” and “sad to see” the public’s reaction to their split.

“I figured if they were able to make it through all that hardship that they experienced after the show — because it seemed like so many people turned on them, and there’s so much dramatization of the downfall of their relationship prior to it even not succeeding — I figured if they can make it through that, they can make it through anything,” he added.
