Who is Joshua Wolfe? 'Bachelor' star Vanessa Grimaldi engaged to Canadian beau 3 years after Nick Viall split

Vanessa Grimaldi has found her happily ever after! The 32-year old former 'Bachelor'  star took to Instagram on Monday to announce that she's engaged to boyfriend Joshua Wolfe. The couple has been together for more than a year now.

The romantic news came after Grimaldi told her Instagram family that the couple was headed on a road trip to Quebec City. "August 9th, 2020 will forever be my favorite DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!" she wrote alongside a series of proposal pictures. "@jbrwolfe YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING AND I CANNOT WAIT TO BE FOREVER AND EVER WITH YOU!!!!!! #Engaged." In an exclusive interview with People, Grimaldi said Wolfe, 35, proposed her atop the Saint-Louis Gate "in what was an intimate, beautiful moment that was candle-lit."

An accordion player performed songs, including "A Whole New World" from Aladdin, for the fiancés. "It was absolutely beautiful!" the bride-to-be blushed. In the interview, she also said, "I knew we were going to get engaged eventually, but I had no idea it was going to happen when it did," she smiled. "Josh is the first person I am with where I am at complete ease and where I never second-guessed his love for me. I’ve been ready to say YES! I am the luckiest woman!" Vanessa introduced Wolfe to her Instagram fans on a January 2019 selfie with the caption "#mcm." Since then, both have shared countless images that perfectly illustrate how much they care for each other.

Joshua popped the question at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec. The beautiful proposal side was full candles, music and champagne. "She said yes," he wrote alongside a sweet picture on Instagram.

Wolfe approached Grimaldi through social media DMs. They spoke on the phone for about a month, while she was out of town (they both live in Montreal). When she came back, the couple went on their first date in New York City. In the same interview, she told People, "I feel at home whenever I am with Josh. His love and affection for his family is something I’ve always admired about him and what I’ve always looked for in a partner," Grimaldi says. "I love how much he values family and that he loves spending quality time all together. That is how we both were raised and one of the many reasons I grew a strong connection with him from the beginning. Who knew my person was living in the same city as me all these years!"

As reported by People, the love birds will celebrate with a small engagement party at their favorite Lebanese restaurant, Garage Beirut, in Montreal. They also said that a portion of their wedding will be donated to Red Cross, Lebanon to help those who faced losses last week in the Beirut explosion. 

Grimaldi who is a special education teacher by profession became a reality TV star when she accepted Nick Viall's final rose in 'The Bachelor', but later they split. The couple even got engaged after five months of the aired proposal. "We just realized we were different people fighting to keep a relationship when ultimately we just weren’t the best fit for each other,” she told People at the time.

When Grimaldi and Wolfe's proposal pictures went viral, a lot of good wishes started pouring in, Viall wished his ex well in the Instagram comments, writing, "Well thank god I followed you back a week ago to hear this news. Congrats to you two! Lucky guy." Other members of 'Bachelor' Nation joined in on the congrats, with Viall's other ex, Rachel Lindsay, commenting, "Omg I told you I could feel your happiness and then this happens!!! I’m so excited for you!!! Congrats!!!!"
