The Bachelor stars Jimmy Nicholson and Holly Kingston are ENGAGED

Jimmy Nicholson and Holly Kingston are engaged. 

The Bachelor couple broke the news to Stellar Magazine this weekend, revealing that Jimmy popped the question during their recent romantic Italian vacation. 

The 32-year-old got down on one knee on the balcony at Hotel Lorelei Londres in Sorrento, Italy, after leading his 28-year-old love to the location via a series of clues. 

Holly is said to have wept with joy while accepting the proposal, which occurred with a stunning sunset in the background. 

Jimmy had planned the proposal for several months, buying a diamond ring from g from Sydney’s Cerrone jewellers and asking Holly’s parents for their permission. 

‘It was important to ask both her mum and dad for permission,’ he told Stellar.

The pair are set to walk down the aisle together in a year’s time, if everything goes to plan – and hope to start a family soon after. 

‘In an ideal scenario, we’d get married in the first week of August next year and have three weeks’ honeymoon’ Jimmy said. 

The pair moved into an apartment together in North Bondi in September last year, shortly after The Bachelor finale aired on TV.

The reality TV lovebirds celebrated one year of dating in March and Jimmy posted racy photos with his girlfriend to mark the occasion.

‘With all the bad news circulating the world at the moment, I’m grateful for so much, but I’m especially grateful for this day one year ago, when this incredible girl walked into my life,’ he wrote in the caption.

He was referring to the day in March 2021 when he first met Holly on the red carpet as she introduced herself to him on The Bachelor.

Holly cheekily replied in the comments section: ‘Is it still a one-year anniversary when you dated 22 other girls in the meantime? I don’t see why not…’

They told Stellar magazine in January they were in no rush to get engaged. 

While Holly said they weren’t getting ‘any pressure’ from family and friends to get hitched, Jimmy revealed the questions were mostly coming from Bachelor fans.

‘We do get comments and messages, mostly on Instagram, asking when we’re going to get engaged or married or have babies – and the answer is not yet,’ he said.

Elsewhere in the interview, Holly said she felt a ‘strong’ connection with Jimmy from the moment they met on camera.

‘[Reality TV is] an unusual lead-in to a relationship, but the connection was strong from the start. I knew I was in love with him and he felt the same,’ she said. 

The couple declared their love for each other in the season finale of The Bachelor last year
