Jen Schefft may have won season 3 of The Bachelor but her relationship with Andrew Firestone quickly fizzled out. She did not fare much better as The Bachelorette, where she famously rejected the proposal of Jerry Ferris, the man that was supposed to win the competition, on live television. It seems that a few years later, things have turned around for this former Bachelorette. People magazine reported last week that Schefft is now engaged to her boyfriend, Joe Waterman, who is 35-years-old. Schefft, 32, told the magazine that she is “so excited” to be engaged and can’t wait to get married. The pair have not set a date yet but do plan to marry in 2009. Schefft said that she’s looking to have a “small and intimate” ceremony with around 50 to 60 of their closest friends and family invited.

Schefft first met her fiancé on a blind date back in February. The two quickly fell in love but the recent proposal came as a complete shock to her. "We had talked about it and I knew it was coming, so I didn't think he could do anything to surprise me, but he did!" Schefft told US Magazine in a recent interview.

Her former fling, Andrew Firestone, has also found true love – and are now about to add to their family! He and wife Ivana recently confirmed to US Magazine that they are expecting their first child. "We're just over the moon, we're so happy," he told the magazine. "It's possible it's even a honeymoon baby!" Andrew and Ivana first began dating in 2005 and were married this year. The baby is due in April of 2009.
