“[It’s] the next step of our beautiful journey together,” Rosado said of their engagement. “I’m so emotional because when we first started dating, he used to always tell me, ‘I’m going to make you my wife.'”

She continued, “Although in my heart I knew we were always meant to be, now that it’s official, it’s even more special than I could have ever dreamed.”

Rosado said she and Chad may get married in the Bahamas.

“We are already talking about possibly getting married in the Bahamas and having the Valley Boys Junkanoo close us out,” she told PEOPLE. “It’s a special spot for us, we celebrated our daughter’s first birthday in the Bahamas as a family over the holidays.”
