I loved Nayte from the beginning. Everything about him; his confidence, how he was romancing Michelle, how realistic he was, how disappointed he always got whenever he didn't get a one on one😂, how excited he was when he finally got it, the way he kisses Michelle.... I can go on and on... hoping the best for them

[@duckypam]

I'm so glad she picked him. Be with the guy who is rational and who thinks things out, rather than saying all the "right things". I hope they can work this out and be good to each other.

I’m over the moon for these two!!!! The first Black couple in the “Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise, they are both beautiful and representing “Black Love” beautifully!!❤️🖤💚 Congratulations on your engagement, upcoming wedding and brand new house!! Happy Kwanzaa!!

Excuse me! 'BI-RACIAL'!!!! BLACK ? THEIR MOTHERS ARE WHITE!!!! THAT'S LIKE CALLING THEM A 'WHITE' COUPLE & TOTALLY IGNORING THEIR BLACK FATHERS!

[@lionzDen23]

I found it super weird that they were ALL bi racial and All the parents were black fathers and white mothers... quite diverse. 👍

[@rochelles5782]

I can’t stop smiling watching these two. The chemistry is everything. I love you Michelle and Nayte 🙏❤️.

[@darcygraham2430]

Such a great couple...liked her and Nayte together all the way through. Michelle was SO classy, so articulate, cut to the chase when she needed to. You could see how she was listening intently when she asked really smart questions of the men. She got her answers when she needed them, but Nayte was her guy all along. Love this ending!

[@Mimi-yp5yg]

Very cute and they seem like a great match! Other folks commenting below with the negativity is just comical - it’s so obvious Brandon wasn’t her match (the show was really trying to sell that to make it seem it wasn’t Nayte all along and people kept falling for it LOL), Nayte and Michelle seem genuinely happy and committed and breath of fresh air compared to past franchise couples.

[@lillianesenkungu7437]

Michelle is that GIRL and i love how Nayte lets her shine through not intimidated

[@safemodesafemode1027]

i watched this show from the beginning , and this dude was always confident in his own skin, altho other guys on the show tried to twist that into him being arrogant, women love confident men, that's part the reason why he is engaged today

@King SwayJ Funny Rachel Lindsay didn't throw a hissy fit when the creator of "The Bachelor" listed his Hawaiian estate for sale as "plantation style"...I thought she was the go-to gal for all thing racist on "The Bachelor"?! Then there's the two separate interviews she conducted, one w/CHarrison & one w/Emmanuel Acho over the Antebellum controversy...funny how she wasn't up in arms and throwing a hissy fit when Acho told her to calm down w/the tensions and try to seek some understanding...wonder why she's such a little instigator?!

[@tryit2450]

Lol how over in KZbin now many are praising and saying great stuff. While in Twitter and Instagram people we're not to positive about her choice to Nayte. Which tbh I also did think that Nayte looked like a Playboy and like he was just trying to be the one that be the winner. But seeing how it ended in The Bachelorette and how happy they looked and seeing them now over here in this interview and seeing how they continue to smile and be happy. I see that even if this is the 1st real relationship. I think Michelle is good for him bc she will teach him to see life thru her world. And she feels really happy with him. Which is what we want is her overall happiness. So thankyou to the both bc you both made me see otherwise and I always like to see when something works out for the better✨✨

I was surprised she picked Nate. I figured, she would've choose the person her parents picked. I felt, so sorry for the other guy...He looked so sad and hurt. He seemed like such a nice guy. I felt like she lead him on..but I guess, that's the risk of being on a show like this..I wanted her to choose Nate because I thought they look the best together..he is super cute and tall..but all the guys were pretty cute this season..So, she couldn't go wrong in the looks department..Which, is rare..Definitely, glad that finally two black people choose each other!! Congrats..#blacklovewins

Hi Lauren zema.

[@jasminemayo872]

Okay, Michelle, and Nayte, listen to me very carefully. When you first get together and make love to one another, you're going to find it easier to be together without speaking. It's the look when you look at one another, and that's when you know you're soulmates. It's a great feeling to be able to do that. I wish you love, health, and happiness. Anything you need, get down on your knees and ask Jesus! He will never leave you. Bye, Congrats, again.

[@marlenesimpson3489]

I hope that they have babies right away. Two energetic people, seemingly in love, they will crash and burn quickly if they don't have something more important to focus on. Just my opinion.

💯 agree. Lauren Zima was unbelievable rude and disrespectful to Bryan Abasolo and Rachel Lindsay interview. She never brought up Peter Kraus couldn’t commit bcuz he had a girlfriend. See text messages from interview the girlfriend did with Realty Steve. Peter went on the show for fame but now we know none of Rachel’s other 3 men are settled in any relationship. Could you image Rachel with Dean; sleeping the his can (what a joke the Fan base is).
