Becca Kufrinknows she wants to spend the rest of her life with boyfriendThomas Jacobs.
On theBachelor Happy Hourpodcast on Wednesday, Kufrin’s co-hostMichelle Youngasked whether the couple have had discussions about getting engaged. In response, the season 14 Bachelorette said, “Yes. We’ve talked about it.”
“It’s actually something we’ve talked about for quite a while now,” the 32-year-old continued. “He, like, jokingly proposed with a paper clip ring once. And I was like, ‘I would say yes to this paper clip ring, except it cuts my finger all the time.’ I mean, it’s definitely on the horizon.”
However, Kufrin has laid out requirements for Jacobs, 29, to follow before she will accept a proposal from him. “He knows this. He needs to ask for my mother’s blessing. So, he can’t get down on one knee until that happens,” she said.

“Life has just been so crazy right now because of the [BachelorLive] tour and obviously, I’ve been all over and back and forth. And I think, like, we just kind of need to get back into my groove and settled,” she continued. “But I think [an engagement] would happen. I mean, I know it will one day. I just don’t know when.”
Added Kufrin: “But you know, he knows what I want. I know what he wants too, so who knows? I’m not all about the tradition so we’ll see.”

“I’m at the point where it’s like, I want to spend my life with him. I want to be with him. I don’t need anything big, extravagant, public in any way,” she said. “I just want it to be us.”
Kufrin and Jacobs met on the seventh season ofBachelor in Paradise, which aired last summer. Though Kufrin initially ended their relationship before leaving the beach, the pairreconciled shortly after filming.
“I’m sorry for breaking up with you on national television, but I’ll take every day to make it up to you, Tommy,” she wroteon Instagramafter the season finale aired. “Thanks for making my heart smile far more than it ever has. Now time to start this real life.”
Jacobs has since saidthe breakup “needed” to happenso that they’d realize their love is worthwhile.
“I knew she felt it too. Like, I had faith that it was going to actually lead to a future conversation,” he said on theTalking It Outpodcast in October. “And I was just waiting for the moment and the opportunity just to see her again.”
