When asked what’s around the corner, Charity told her followers in a recent Q&A session via Instagram Stories, according to BachelorNation.com, “Although DWTS is over, I am still doing the tour for two weeks in February. In the meantime, we will be moving and spending time with family over the holidays!”
Charity also teased that the pair is going to take advantage of their trip to Greece, which The Bachelor franchise had gifted them at the end of her season in August.
“And Dotun and I are going to Greece finally! We listened to Papa Jesse to save it for post-show and this could not be more perfect timing!” Charity said, referring to The Bachelorette host Jesse Palmer.
One person asked Charity when she and Dotun plan to get married, and Charity responded, “2025!” She also added the sparkle emoji to her post.
Given The Bachelorette couple appear to be so happy, one Instagram user sought advice on whether single people in their twenties are running out of time to find The One.
“I’m here to tell you that you aren’t. I thought the same, but try not to give yourself a timeline. It’s ok to want to have things at a certain time in life, but when you become fixated on that, you will find yourself going out of your way to obtain things and 9 times out of 10, those things won’t be for you,” Charity explained.
“Spend these years and time becoming the best version of you, finding your true interests, and being intentional about dating and who you spend your time with. Not dating because you’re lonely, but dating with purpose.”

Dotun conducted his own Q&A session via Instagram Stories on Monday, December 18 and revealed his favorite thing about being with his fiancee.
“The way this woman loves is something special,” he gushed. “She accepts me for me and loves the parts of me that even I don’t like myself. And that’s priceless in this life.”
Dotun also boasted about how Charity brings him “so much happiness” but they don’t lose sight of themmselves in the relationship.
“It’s tempting to attach my happiness to this relationship, but I try to always remember we are individuals first. And we both respect each other’s autonomy, which helps us grow as individuals then subsequently as partners,” Dotun shared.
Charity and Dotun also revealed in November that they’re in therapy together and are doing everything it takes to stay strong and healthy as a couple.
“[Dotun] is well onboard [with our sessions]. I don’t want to toot my own horn, but they, like, our therapist is personally, like, really proud of us because we don’t really have, like, problems,” Charity explained to Life & Style.
“It’s just, like, we’re doing things to be proactive, to, like, stay ahead of, like, I guess something going wrong in the in the future.”

At the time, Charity also told BachelorNation.com that she and Dotun were considering a move to the East Coast.
“I’ll probably get a glimpse and taste to see… if I fall in love with L.A,” Charity shared in September.
She pointed out, “But I think right now, we kind of both are looking at New York. We’ll see if that could also change, too.”
And Dotun gushed of their relationship, “Our love has never been deeper, and I continue to fall more and more in love every day… If anything ever happens, this relationship is a priority and I think we have the communication skills to talk about it and take a step back any time it’s needed.”
Charity went on to insist that “nothing” was going to come between them, and she told Us Weekly in a separate interview that Dotun is her “biggest fan” and cheerleader.
“So as busy as we get and as time-consuming as life is, I think we’ve both done such a fantastic job of just making sure that we’re the focus of each other,” Charity told Us a couple of months back.
And Dotun agreed that Charity had prioritized him and would probably continue doing so.
“She continues to give me that reassurance, and I think I’m more excited than she is,” Dotun said. “I’m like, ‘Whatever, let’s do this!’ But I have no doubt in our ability to continue fostering our relationship, and we’ll be together! It will be great.”
