Former The Bachelor star Juan Pablo Galavis is reportedly ready to commit to one woman -- his girlfriend Osmariel Villalobos.

According to multiple sources, Galavis is prepared to propose marriage to Villalobos, Us Weekly reported.
Galavis, 35, allegedly needs to finalize his plans to pop the question, however, he's already picked out the engagement ring.
"She'll definitely say yes," one source told Us. "They spend all their time together, and she gets along amazingly with his [eight-year-old] daughter [Camila]. All of Juan's family and friends love her. They have talked about marriage and both know it's what they want."
Galavis, a former pro soccer player, and the 28-year-old Venezuelan beauty queen began dating in Summer 2016.

They are "perfect" for each other, added the source. "She's beautiful, she's into sports like he is and they both love dancing. Osmariel is very tight with family."
The Bachelor franchise's only Latino leading man is therefore "close to getting engaged" to Villalobos, said an insider, who insisted they are "crazy" about one another and have a "shared understanding and bond being from a similar culture."
Galavis has gushed about his girlfriend on social media for months. In February, he called Villalobos the woman he has "always dreamed of having" next to him.
Galavis publicly confirmed to People he was dating Villalobos in August of last year, revealing at the time the pair had only been romantically involved for a few months.
However, he was already smitten with the girl and wrote "I love you" as the caption to one of their Instagram photos together.

"I'm impressed by her. I'm amazed by the things she says and does," Galavis, who was born in the United States but raised in Venezuela, previously told the magazine. "I'm happy to be with her... We're so much alike. She's like a female version of me -- the Juan Pablo that people know personally, not the TV one!"
Galavis and his ex-fiancee Nikki Ferrell had a highly-publicized and criticized relationship following the finale of The Bachelor's eighteenth season in March 2014, which featured an anti-climactic ending in which Galavis told the Kansas City nurse, "I like you," and offered her nothing but his final rose after months of dating.
Many The Bachelor viewers disliked Galavis during his season for how he treated the women, and those negative opinions spilled onto Ferrell for choosing to be with him despite those alleged flaws.
After appearing on VH1's Couples Therapy together, Ferrell and Galavis split in October 2014.
"I knew I was never going to be the No. 1 priority, like, he has a daughter. But I mean, there's a difference between being the second priority and the seventh priority. We're just different people and... we just never saw eye to eye on [things]," Ferrell told The Bachelor host Chris Harrison in January 2015.

However, Ferrell moved on with her life and got engaged in January 2016 to Tyler Vanloo. The couple got married in October of last year during a ceremony attended by former The Bachelorette star Andi Dorfman, who was always a critic of Galavis after briefly dating him on The Bachelor and quitting after their awkward fantasy suite date.
