Hannah, who also set up dates and gave contestants advice, explained that her early departure from Paradise was because she had to put her own love life first.
"To be honest, I wasn't even in Paradise for the finale -- I was off to get married!" Hannah revealed to Entertainment Weekly, referring to her July 26 wedding ceremony with Adam Woolard.
She added, "So it will be just as fun to watch for me."
Bachelor in Paradise's Season 10 finale is set to air on Tuesday, September 2 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
A handful of couples still remain on the show, and they will apparently be faced with a big "love or money" decision with $500,000 on the line.
Although Hannah didn't get to see how the season ended, she said she anticipates the finale will be "dramatic, shocking [and] romantic" for viewers.
While watching drama unfold throughout the Bachelor in Paradise season, Hannah was probably relieved she already found The One in Adam, who had proposed marriage to her in August 2023.
Hannah and Adam got married in a "timeless" and "classic" wedding ceremony in front of 101 guests at Domaine du Mont Leuze in France just about two years later.
Hannah admitted earlier this summer that planning a wedding amid her hectic work schedule, which included Bachelor in Paradise, was "crazy."
Hannah therefore said she was so grateful that Adam "really stepped up, probably more than most grooms" would have for their nuptials.

According to legal documents recently obtained by Us Weekly, Hannah and Adam had filed marriage paperwork in a Tennessee court on June 21.
Hannah and Adam met on the Hinge dating app when they were both living in Los Angeles, CA.
The Bachelor alum admitted she actually "liked" Adam's picture first, only to find out that they lived on the same street, during a May 2024 appearance on "The Ben and Ashley I: Almost Famous Podcast."
After having a brief exchange about the coincidence, Hannah said Adam was "very direct" and asked her out for a drink in his second message to her.
Hannah explained that Adam didn't know she had starred on The Bachelorette's fifteenth season when they first talked and he was solely interested in her because of her "top notch" dating profile.
Hannah found fame when she competed on Colton Underwood's season of The Bachelor. When she failed to win Colton's heart, she starred on The Bachelorette in 2019 and got engaged to Jed Wyatt.

Hannah realized she still had feelings for her runner-up, Tyler Cameron, once her engagement ended, and so she asked him on a date on The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose in July 2019.
However, Hannah and Tyler's relationship was confusing for Hannah and never really left the friend zone.

Hannah recalled receiving mixed signals from Tyler from 2019-2020 in her first memoir, God Bless This Mess: Learning to Live and Love Through Life's Best (and Worst) Moments.
Not only did Hannah write that she felt like Tyler's "backup player who never got to play in the game," but she also said their relationship "wasn't some game" to her and he "broke" her heart when he began dating supermodel Gigi Hadid shortly after The Bachelorette 15 wrapped on TV.
Hannah also gave her relationship with her The Bachelorette third-place finisher, Peter Weber, another shot.
Hannah briefly appeared on Peter's The Bachelor season and made it known that she had lingering feelings for him. Peter nearly quit the show to date Hannah, but he didn't think that would be fair to his bachelorettes.
Hannah later revealed she and Peter had slept together while The Bachelor's 24th season was airing in February 2020 after they both attended Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour's engagement party in Los Angeles.
Hannah wrote in her first memoir -- which was released in November 2021 -- that the sexual encounter, which had taken place in the California home of Peter's parents, "just sucked" and it was "a poor decision" on her part.
"I just have compassion for that time in my life -- for myself, for him, and for everyone involved," Hannah told co-hosts Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti on their "Almost Famous" podcast.
Hannah admitted she was "broken" after that time in her life but Adam helped her see the light and get through it.
