90 Day Fiancé star Chantel Everett is officially engaged.
Her girlfriend, Ashley Bowen, proposed on Wednesday, Dec. 17.
The moment happened at Uhuburg, a Renaissance-style castle in Helen, Georgia.
Chantel thought they were heading out for a photo and video shoot.
She had no idea what was coming next.
Ashley dropped to one knee.
She pulled out a sparkling ring.
Then she surprised Chantel even more.
Ashley performed an original song titled “Duet for Juliet.”
The moment left Chantel stunned.
“Our love feels like it was written in the stars,” the couple told PEOPLE. “So romantic, so authentic, so raw.”
The Proposal That Changed Everything
The setting looked straight out of a movie.
Stone walls. Castle views. Total shock.
Ashley planned every detail.
The ring sparkled.
The song sealed the deal.
The proposal felt personal and bold.
Very on brand for Chantel.
The couple added, “We love that about ourselves. We love that about our love story.”
From the outside, it looked like pure joy.
No drama. No doubt. Just a yes.
Chantel’s Journey Played Out on TV
Fans watched Chantel grow up on reality TV.
She rose to fame through 90 Day Fiancé and multiple spinoffs.
Her marriage to Pedro Jimeno ended publicly and painfully.
After the divorce, Chantel did not rush into anything.
She took her time.
Everything changed on 90 Day: Hunt for Love.
During the Aug. 18 episode, Chantel opened up about her sexuality.
“So before coming here, a friend of mine who is also a woman reached out to me and told me that they had feelings for me,” she said.
She admitted she wanted to explore that connection.
“I realized that I really care for her,” Chantel added.
That friend was Ashley.
The Kiss That Started It All
Earlier in the season, Chantel shared how it began.
She described drinking wine with Ashley before leaving for the resort.
Then everything shifted.
“One thing led to another, and Ashley kisses me,” Chantel revealed.
“I almost fainted. I really liked it.”
She called it overwhelming.
She called it exciting.
“It felt like my first kiss ever,” she said.
Viewers watched Chantel question her future in real time.
It felt honest. It felt raw.
From Friends to Fiancées
Chantel later explained how she met Ashley.
She met her through her brother River at a birthday party.
They clicked instantly.
At first, it stayed friendly.
Then feelings crept in.
“I remember asking my friend if Ashley liked me,” Chantel recalled.
They told her no.
Turns out, they were wrong.
“Hindsight’s 20/20,” Chantel admitted.
Now the two are inseparable.
From confusion to clarity, this relationship feels different.
It feels chosen.
