Sydney Gordon gets engaged to boyfriend Nathan Nel
Sydney Gordon has announced her engagement to her boyfriend, Nathan Nel, after just seven months of dating. The Bachelor Season 28 contestant broke the news on Instagram on Sunday, January 25, with a video of the proposal.
The romantic clip unfolds in a breathtaking South African setting, where Nel kneels to one knee, sweeping Gordon off her feet. The tender moment culminates in a heartfelt kiss and embrace. “My soul forever intertwined with yours @natenelnel,” she captioned.
Additionally, the text over the video goes: “No one tells you the feeling you get when the person you love more than anything in this world asks you to spend forever with them. It’s not about the ring, or the wedding, it’s about the mutual commitment, the spiritual intertwine & excitement for forever as a unit.”
The founder of the Rhode Island-based vintage store Folk Vintagen shared a sneak peek of her dazzling engagement ring on Instagram Stories. She revealed that it fills the empty heart tattoo she got three years ago.
Bachelor Nation stars flooded the comments with love, with Hakeem Moulton commenting, “Congrats queen!!!”. Meanwhile, Katelyn DeBacker wrote “Love love love!! Congratulations, Syd.”
Gordon first made her relationship with Nel, a wellness coach and founder of Vitālis Wellness, public on TikTok in August 2025. Back then, she said that, despite having been together for just two months, she “already knew that he’s the one.”
The 30-year-old shared she crossed paths with Nathan Nel at a South African festival. After Gordon got back home, she and Nel kept messaging, and he invited her to jet back to South Africa.
The couple was planning to move in together in Newport, R.I. However, Gordon announced on TikTok on January 3 that they were returning to South Africa. She also revealed her plan of opening a second vintage shop in Cape Town.
