Charity Lawson told both Dotun Olubeko and Joey Graziadei that she loved them, but in the end, she chose to give the last rose to Dotun Olubeko. It seemed like a hard choice to make, but she did it. The couple got engaged on the tropical beaches of Fiji, and during the "After the Final Rose" special, they said they are still together and doing well.
Lawson is from Columbus, Georgia, and works as a therapist for children and families. She went to Auburn University and got a degree in mental health therapy. The 27-year-old made her first appearance on "The Bachelor" in January, during Zach Shallcross's season. She made it to the final four. After the hometown date, where she introduced Shallcross to her family in Georgia, they said their goodbyes with tears in their eyes.
Dotun Olubeko quickly rose to the top of the list on the show when Charity went bungee jumping with Lawson on a one-on-one date in rural Washington state. During his interview before the jump, he said he was scared of heights. In episode 4, he got the words mixed up and said, "One of my biggest fears is heights."
He jumped with Lawson, and they both jumped again right after. He was also the first person to get a second date with Charity. Dotun, 30, lives in Brooklyn, New York, and works as an integrative medicine expert. He "comes from a ‘big Nigerian family’ and loves his air fryer.
Joey Graziadei was also an early favorite. His answer in a game before the kiss gave him the chance to break "The Bachelor's" record for the longest kiss. Graziadei is a professional tennis player who lives in Hawaii. He and his partner had a powerful conversation about how to deal with the challenges of being an interracial pair.
Lawson isn't sure what to expect from the proposal, but Graziadei is sure that he's the one. He said, "I just think we have something special that she won't be able to refuse." But in the end, Lawson picked Olubeko over Graziadei.
Olubeko got down on one knee, gave Lawson a Neil Lane diamond sparkler, and asked her to marry him. He told her, "The love we have is amazing. Would it be kind of you to make this story come true?"
At the end of the "After the Final Rose" episode, Olubeko told Lawson and the world that she would be a contestant on the next season of "Dancing with the Stars."
