The couple got engaged in season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise. After the show ended, Amabile and Pitt enjoyed a long-distance relationship for months before moving in together to New York in March 2022. In August 2022, they celebrated another milestone in their relationship: their engagement party in Pitt’s hometown of Toronto.

“I think my parents initially came up with the idea of an engagement party for us, just because we obviously had an unconventional engagement,” Pitt told PEOPLE at the time. “We got engaged and it was a secret for a while, so it was a great idea to bring some of our family and close friends together to celebrate a whole year later.”
