A love for the ages!
Bachelor Nation fans saw Raven Gates Gottschalk and Adam Gottschalk meet and fall in love on Season 4 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Since then, the two have tied the knot. They welcomed their son Gates in January 2022 and their second baby boy, Max, in July 2023.
Now, the fan-favorite couple is joining fellow “BIP” couple Serena Pitt and Joe Amabile on “Bachelor Happy Hour” to discuss meeting in “Paradise” and how they plan to tell their kids about their Bachelor Nation love story.
While explaining their plans to share how they met, Raven revealed she’s already gotten a glimpse into talking about it with their boys during a recent encounter.
She said, “For me I guess, I’m just gonna let it happen organically. But what’s so funny is my mom brought a bunch of my keepsakes over a month ago, and I pulled out one of the magazines and it had one of my Hometown dates on it where I was obviously kissing someone that was not Adam. I held it up really quick and I put it down, and Gates said, ‘You’re kissing daddy?’ And I was like, ‘Yes! I was kissing daddy.’ And then I just shoved that right back in there. I was like, ‘Adam throw this in the attic.’ Like, this is just too much.”
Adam laughed and chimed in, expressing how much their lives unexpectedly changed from going on the show.
He admitted, “We always used to tell everyone that we would’ve never probably crossed paths any other way. Like even if I was watching the show and I maybe DM’d her and I never went on it… It would’ve never flourished into what it is today. So, we’re thankful for the show and the stage that it gave us in order to fall in love and move forward.”
The couple then revealed how they plan to share their love story and the takeaway they hope their sons learn from seeing them on “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Raven said, “When the time comes and they see our episode or they see our first date together, I want them to also think, like, ‘Mom and dad did really cool things. They took chances and they did silly stuff. They made mistakes, but also they lived their lives to the fullest and look at what they did.’ That’s kind of how I’m gonna approach it when it gets brought up is… to go live life. Go do the wild, crazy stuff. Go do the stuff you never thought you would do because you have no idea what’s going to happen. And I just want you to have the best life and most fulfilling life ever, and had we not taken that chance, we wouldn’t have met each other I don’t think.”
