Michelle Younghas found her “soulNayte.”
TheBacheloretteposted a sweet tribute to her now-fiancéNayte Olukoyaon Instagram Tuesday night, just hours after they made their debut as an engaged couple following the season finale ofThe Bachelorette.
In a poem written to Olukoya (or soulNayte, as Young addressed him), she shared the qualities she loves most about her partner. The sweet note also reflected on theirBachelorettejourney and life offscreen together.
“Stepping into the role asThe BacheloretteI was optimistic with what I would find. I hoped for a best friend, a life long [sic] partner, but I truly landed one of a kind,” the letter began.
Young’s poem went on to credit Olukoya with challenging her, supporting her and embracing her for who she is. She then appeared to address concerns (including from her mom) that Nayte may not be 100 percent ready for marriage.
“The way you’ve pushed yourself to be vulnerable, even if it wasn’t for others around us to see. I’ve learned our love story doesn’t need to be perceived as perfect, As long as it’s perfect for you and me.”
The letter was signed. “Love, Your FIANCÉ Michelle.”

“We’re not waiting. There’s no reason to wait with Michelle. Let’s do this,” he said, and added the move will happen “very soon.” In response, theBachelorfranchise gifted the couple with a down payment for a home together.
Young opened up about her decision to give Olukoya her final rose, speaking specifically to his ability to push himself to be vulnerable.
“Behind the scenes, he really was challenging himself. And that’s the thing, is that love doesn’t always have to be like this perfect, intense, magical story that goes through like from start to end with no speed bumps,” she said.
