The Bachelor alum Abigail Heringer has revealed her relationship with boyfriend Noah Erb is getting pretty serious because she's moving to the West Coast to be closer to him.

Abigail, who is originally from Oregon, recently announced on Instagram that she's relocating from New York City to the West Coast, where Noah -- who's originally from Oklahoma -- currently resides and works as a travel nurse.

"The main reason why I decided not to renew my lease for another year in New York was in part because my rent was increasing, but also my family and Noah are both on the west coast," Abigail wrote on Instagram earlier this month.
Abigail therefore enthusiastically called the move a "no brainer" for her.

"One of the things I love about finally being in the same place as Noah is obviously that we're not doing long distance anymore," she continued in her post, "but also that I've been able to get more into a routine."
"I'm excited to have a normal schedule after the last few months of traveling all the time to see Noah," she concluded.
Prior to appearing on Matt James' season of The Bachelor last year, Abigail worked as a client financial manager.
After failing to win Matt's heart on Season 25 of the ABC reality series, Abigail looked for love on Bachelor in Paradise's seventh season last summer.
Although Noah and Abigail were shown breaking up towards the end of the process, they reconciled once they returned home and began taking things "slowly."

However, the couple revealed on social media in October 2021 that they were both in love with each other.
Abigail posted a video montage of the couple at the time and wrote, "I love you @noah_erb."

And Noah uploaded images of the pair and captioned them, "It's a shame y'all only get to see a tiny bit of our lives, but believe me when I say we make the most of it."
Noah added how he and Abigail had been sneaking around for four months and he was so happy to finally declare her "babes" in public after Bachelor in Paradise's finale aired.

Noah also wrote on Instagram last year, "You never know what you got until it's gone, then you never let it go. I love you @abigail_heringer. Here is to laughing through life until we are old. (World, meet my new GF, turns out we do know how to talk to each other and I think I'll keep her)."
Abigail and Noah didn't exactly glide through Paradise as a couple. They briefly split along the way due to Abigail missing a spark with Noah and putting her walls up to self-protect, but Noah decided to push through the friend-zone and fight for her.
Noah, however, had been fighting a gut feeling the entire time that Abigail may not be his "person," especially since she was so guarded towards him.
And so just as Abigail was ready to tell Noah she was certainly "falling in love" with him -- after Noah had already expressed his love days beforehand -- Noah decided to end their relationship and let her down gently.
Abigail admitted that she felt lied to and betrayed, but Noah insisted he had been upfront and honest with her throughout the whole process. Noah said that while Abigail is "perfect in so many ways," she wasn't perfect for him.

Abigail and Noah both left the show single, crying and alone, but Bachelor in Paradise provided viewers with an update on the couple at the end of its early-October season finale.
"Noah and Abigail left Paradise and realized they missed each other," according to an onscreen graphic. "They are hanging out and taking things...SLOWLY."
News of Abigail and Noah's romantic reunion had leaked out prior to the finale.
Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone reported in late September 2021 that Noah and Abigail had been seeing each other post-show, and on October 1, he tweeted a photo showing the pair at a coffee shop in Oklahoma together.
Noah also posted a video on Instagram Stories in early October poking fun at rumors about Abigail allegedly having hooked up with Clare Crawley's ex Dale Moss earlier in the year.
A woman could be heard laughing, and so Noah's followers assumed that person was Abigail and she apparently found the Dale rumors funny.
Prior to appearing on Bachelor in Paradise, Noah competed for Clare and Tayshia Adams on The Bachelorette's sixteenth season in 2020.
