JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers are a reality TV success story.
Fletcher and the former NFL football player ended their run on The Bachelorette with a proposal in 2016 — and after their six-year-long engagement, they officially tied the knot on May 14, 2022.
"There's this very deep love, respect and security that you have once you get married," Fletcher told PEOPLE in April 2024, adding, "We always do everything together, because we enjoy spending time together."
