Another Bachelor Nation couple is on their way down the aisle.

Chris Bukowski revealed to Page Six exclusively that he plans to propose to girlfriend Anna Redman “soon.”

“I think this could be the year,” the “Bachelor in Paradise” alum told us Thursday evening at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel ahead of the 2024 Super Bowl.

“Maybe not for a wedding, but an engagement.”

Bukowski further explained why he feels now is the right time for him and Redman, 27, to take the next step in their relationship.

“We’ve been together for over a year so it’s been great,” the 37-year-old Chicago native added.

When asked if he would allow the proposal to be televised — as many “Bachelor” franchise actors do — Bukowski was hesitant but apparently not against it.

“I’m kind of behind the scenes, but he’s in the front with the influences,” he said. “I think I will [the proposal] kind of a big thing but in a way.”

Although both Bukowski and Redman are part of Bachelor Nation — she’s appeared on several spinoff shows since 2003 and he made his debut on “The Bachelor” in 2021 — they met in they are reality TV.
