The winner of the 13th season of the romantic reality show “The Bachelor” Inna Belen announced her engagement. Her chosen one was a man she had known since school..

The blogger announced an important event in her life on December 30 on Instagram, posting a personal photo with a ring and admitting that she only said “yes” to her beloved on the third try.. Ivan Yalovenko became Inna's chosen one. According to Belen, the man proposed to her three times - in March, August and November.. It was the third attempt that was decisive. He made his first marriage proposal through the “Diya” application at a time when this function had just appeared in the application.

In her post on InstaStories, Inna admitted that she was not ready for marriage for a long time: “I need to tell you a funny story called “she finally decided on the third try,” because I was from the “I don’t want to get married anymore” series.. Try in March, try in August and voila in November it’s a resounding “yes”. The blogger also shared her personal story of meeting her future husband. According to her, they have known each other since 2002, when they studied at the same school.. In 2013, there was already communication between them, but then the relationship never began. “And now it’s 2025 - you want me to bear your last name, and our family gets bigger. I love you, Yalovenko. And I never thought that one day I would say “yes” with such a heart that it barely fits in my chest,” added Belen.

In May of this year, Belen publicly showed her new lover for almost the first time, publishing a romantic photo shoot. Then she admitted that she felt calm and confident next to him, and this relationship was radically different from previous ones. In the post, the volunteer noted that the man became a support for her, not trying to “save”, but simply staying close.

Belen was probably then hinting at her previous relationship experience with public figure Alexander Budko, known as “Teren,” who was the main character of the 13th season of “The Bachelor.”. After the completion of the project, a lot of controversy arose around the couple.

Subsequently, blogger Elena Mandzyuk stated that there was actually no relationship between Inna and Alexander, and called rumors about their romance a myth. She also denied any influence on their communication and explained that she only spoke out publicly when, in her opinion, the situation began to harm the veteran's reputation.
