Zach rejected his runner-up Gabi Elnicki, leaving her devastated and "humiliated," and ultimately proposed marriage to his winner, Kaity, during the Final Rose Ceremony of Season 27 in Thailand.

Kaity and Zach expressed how they were madly in love with each other and couldn't wait to start a life together in the real world, and on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose -- which aired live on Monday night, several months after the finale taped -- the couple confirmed they're still together and happy.

But Zach, 26, said he and Kaity are in "no rush" to get married, according to People.

The couple have talked about tying the knot in 2025, and Zach shared with the magazine, "Right now, the main emphasis is living together in Austin [this summer], getting to know each other more and more, and just see how things go."

And Kaity, 28, added, "We have the rest of our lives together, so why does everything need to be a rush? It doesn't."

But that doesn't mean the couple hasn't thought about their future together.

Zach and Kaity said they can picture themselves being married with children within five years.

"[We hope to be] married with some little ones running around -- maybe one, maybe two," Zach said.

Kaity admitted some of the people who will receive an invitation to her wedding "may raise a couple eyebrows" such as Gabi, Zach's third-place The Bachelor finisher Ariel Frenkel -- whom Kaity called "a huge supporter" -- and fellow The Bachelor 27 contestants Jess Girod and Mercedes Northup.

And Kaity pointed out how she "would like a beach house" with Zach down the road.

The pair also see themselves traveling and enjoying new experiences together.

"We're going to start living in Austin, but after a year in Austin, figure out if we want to try something else and explore and travel the world," Zach shared.

Kaity said she'd love to vacation in Portugal first.

"[But] there's tons of places that I want to go, and I know Zach does too. We're both very adventurous," Kaity acknowledged.

In the meantime, the newly-engaged couple hope to live a "normal life" off-camera.

"We've seen each other quite a few times and we [got] these 'Happy Couple weekends.' I've never gotten sick of him, so it's been great," Kaity gushed of her fiance.

"All I want is more time with him. When he gets to Austin, we're just going to try and live this normal life that we've been wanting to for so long. We're super excited."

Kaity said that no matter what comes the couple's way, they're going to be "a team."

"We do communicate so well together. We are going to make amazing life partners, and I just can't wait for the rest of our lives," she concluded.

Kaity and Zach had to overcome a major hurdle in their relationship before getting engaged. Zach had slept with Gabi in the Fantasy Suites, and Kaity had to get past worrying about Zach's strong connection with another woman.

When asked how Fantasy Suite Week impacted their relationship on After the Final Rose, Kaity -- who had been given the last of Zach's three overnight dates in Thailand -- admitted it was "definitely a tough episode to watch back."

"I'm not going to sugarcoat that by any means. Am I ever going to watch that episode again? Nope! Definitely not," Kaity quipped.

During that controversial episode, Zach admitted to Gabi that he was "falling in love" with her.

Gabi also felt "violated" and betrayed by Zach when he decided to tell Kaity about his private sexual encounter with the Vermont native.

But in hindsight, Kaity said her relationship with Zach is "100 percent" worth "all the tears" and ups and downs she had endured on The Bachelor.

Prior to starring as the Bachelor, Zach competed for Rachel Recchia's heart on The Bachelorette's nineteenth season.

Zach and Rachel mutually split following their overnight Fantasy Suite date, during which Zach had accused Rachel of being a totally different person off-camera.

Rachel, in turn, called Zach's public comments about the demise of their relationship "really negative" and "so hurtful."
