Hannah Brown and Fiance Adam Woolard’s Relationship Timeline

Hannah Brown may not have found love on The Bachelorette, but her relationship with Adam Woolard has fans rooting for their happily ever after. The former Bachelorette, who looked for love on season 15 of the ABC show, was first linked to Woolard in January 2021 after eagle-eyed fans identified him as the mystery man from her Nashville photos the same month. The duo were spotted holding hands days later in Los Angeles, but they didn’t confirm the relationship until Valentine’s Day the following month. In April 2021, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the relationship was “blossoming” and showed signs of turning into “something serious.” Brown announced in August 2023 that Woolard proposed after more than two years together. Scroll down to relive Brown and Woolard’s sweetest moments together:

After the former Bachelor contestant, who appeared on Colton Underwood’s season in 2019, shared a photo of an unnamed man’s feet on a date in Nashville in January 2021, Bachelor Nation speculated that it was Woolard. Days later, the pair were spotted getting cozy and holding hands in Los Angeles.

A source exclusively told Us in January 2021 that the rumored couple “seem like a great match” due to their similar interests. The insider added that it “seems like they’re taking things slow” for now, noting Woolard lives a “more private” life than Brown.

The lovebirds became Instagram official in February 2021. “Happy Valentine’s Day @admandew,” Brown wrote via her Instagram Story at the time, adding a heart emoji alongside a photo of the pair kissing on horseback. Woolard, for his part, posted a cuddling photo with Brown on the love holiday, captioning it, “My sweetie♥️.”

The Alabama native starred alongside her man in country singer Jordan Davis’ music video for “Almost Maybes,” which premiered in February 2021. In the video, Woolard proposes to Brown during a romantic meal.

The former Bachelorette dished about her first date with Woolard during a YouTube video posted on her channel in March 2021. “He asked me out and it was a Mexican restaurant called Chulita,” she recalled. “We had margaritas.” Brown also shared Woolard’s first impression of her with her viewers, revealing that he was “Effortlessly beautiful and vibrant and a little frantic, but so beautiful. Instant spark.”

Brown and Woolard played a game of “Never Have I Ever” on her YouTube channel in May 2021. They showed off their playful relationship revealing whether they’ve ever snooped in each other’s phones and whether they’ve slid into someone’s DMs. Woolard has also helped Brown pick out outfits on her channel and put on makeup.

When the TV personality’s clothing collaboration with Show Me Your Mumu launched in May 2021, her boyfriend was right by her side. The duo modeled the new outfits together in a promo shoot and cute campaign video.

“Many have seen you shine on TV, but few get to see how hard you work ... how thoughtful you are ... and how you care for others ... every single day 😎,” Woolard wrote via Instagram after of the release. “Cannot wait for this collab to drop!! @hannahbrown x @showmeyourmumu - the perfect match.”

“Happy Birthday, @admandew. It’s so fun celebrating you! You radiate goodness, positivity, and joy,” Brown wrote via Instagram in May 2021 alongside a video montage for Woolard’s birthday. “I’m so thankful to be surrounded by your shine. You’re my sweetie💙. Let’s keep dancing, k?” The couple spent the weekend toasting Woolard on the beach in L.A. with friends.

The couple headed to Nashville in June 2021 to celebrate Woolard’s twin nephews’ first birthdays. The duo posed with the birthday boys after Brown hung out with the model’s two brothers, Alex and Austin.

“Adam appreciation post 💙 Just feeling especially blessed today to have you by my side,” the TV personality wrote alongside a series of beach photos via Instagram in June 2021. “Thank you for everything you do for me. I’m one lucky girl.”

Brown shared an adorable video of herself dancing at home with Woolard, soundtracked to "Glad You Exist" by Dan + Shay. "I’m glad you exist," she wrote via Instagram. In the comments section, the model replied, "Easy like ... 💙."

The southern belle and her boyfriend showed off their dance moves via Instagram while asking Brown’s followers a series of questions. “Is he hot or does he just know how to cook?” Brown pondered while shaking it for the camera. “Is she hot or does she just have a southern accent?” Woolard joked as he snapped from side to side.

“Happy birthday, Sweetie!! If you’re smiling, it’s because of YOU,” he gushed. “You’ve created such an amazing life… so happy to be a part of it. Excited for what this next year will bring 💙.”

She responded in the comments section, "I love you! You are my favorite wish come true💙.”

When Brown's book, God Bless This Mess: Learning to Live and Love Through Life’s Best (and Worst) Moments, debuted, Woolard eagerly supported the project. "GOD BLESS THIS MESS IS OUT TODAY!!!" he wrote via Instagram. "So proud of you @hannahbrown … I saw the grind firsthand. You deserve it all."

In the comments of the post, the newly minted author replied, "I love you so freakin much! Thank you my sweetie!"

The twosome took their romance to New York City for early Christmas celebrations, which included ice skating at Rockefeller Center and tickets to the Radio City Rockettes.

The twosome introduced their social media followers to puppy Wally on January 22.

Brown wasn’t in a rush to get engaged.

“I just wanna take it day by day and I'm so grateful for the relationship that I have,” Brown said on Us Weekly’s “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast. “People are always like, ‘What's next? What are you doing?’ I am just so happy and content where I am right now in my relationship and not putting any pressure on what's next, which is very different than being on The Bachelor or Bachelorette.”

The couple confirmed they moved in together in Santa Monica.

“Provence and @admandew, they both stole my heart 💚,” Brown captioned a series of Instagram photos while traveling through France with her boyfriend.

"Missing midnights in paris today ✨," the reality star captioned a photo dump from the couple's French travels.

Brown accidentally sparked rumors that she and Woolard had called it quits when she shared a TikTok video using audio that declared, "I'm no long in my 'falling in love with everyone phase'. ... I only love Jesus now." When some fans questioned whether the clip hinted at a breakup, however, she quickly set the record straight. "Omg no!! Just referencing my time as bachelorette," Brown wrote in the comments.

The Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test star opened up exclusively to Us about the possibility of getting engaged to Woolard amid their “great” relationship. “Of course we’ve talked about it, but I am so great where we’re at,” Brown explained. “I think he is too, but I do think it could be a possibility at some point. But [it’s]not something that I’m rushing. It’s actually so funny [that] I was on this TV show and I was the Bachelorette. But maybe that taught me I’m just not in a rush for anything. I’m really happy with where I am at.”

At that point, the couple had been together for more than two years and were still going strong. “He’s the best. He’s just the most encouraging, optimistic person,” she told Us. “He is just so great at encouraging me and just celebrating the life that we have together. We’re doing great. I’ve always said this, but he just continues to make me feel just so comfortable in who I am and who we are.”

The couple confirmed that they are leaving Santa Monica to move to Nashville.

Brown and Woolard got engaged after more than two years of dating. Brown announced the news via Instagram, sharing several photos from the big moment. “So happy,” she captioned the sweet snaps. “I love our steady love.” 

The twosome were all smiles while celebrating Easter. “We are Full (souls and bellies),” they captioned a joint Instagram Story video of Woolard giving Brown a piggyback ride.

“We’re officially home owners! 🏡🤗 Having a house to make a home has been a life dream of mine,” Brown announced via Instagram, sharing a photo outside the couple’s Nashville abode. “I am so honored to be able to create spaces that will hold precious memories and to live the big and small life moments between the walls. This house is so sweet already, but to make this OUR family home will be the greatest privilege.”

Brown shared that she and Woolard were not living in the same house as they prepared for their wedding. “We have lived together [since] eight months into our relationship and we decided to just trust God and we are not living in this house together until we get married this summer. It was obviously a big decision and very different and new, but we both separately were having these thoughts in our prayer and just feeling the Lord to call us to do this,” Brown said in an Instagram Story video, adding that their relationship was “really great” since relocating. “I felt the most connected to Adam that I ever had because we are so intentional about the time that we have together. [I’m] excited for what God has for our marriage. I really am.”

Us Weekly obtained legal documents confirming that Brown and Woolard filed marriage paperwork in a Davidson County, Tennessee, court on June 21.

The pair’s legal marriage followed Brown sharing a July 12 Instagram post of herself holding a marriage certificate next to Woolard as the pair smiled for the camera.
