The Bachelor alum Amanda Stanton has announced she's engaged to boyfriend Michael Fogel less than a year after publicly announcing their relationship.

"YES !!!" Amanda, 31, captioned a Thursday Instagram photo in which she had her arms wrapped around Michael's neck as he hugged her tightly next to a Christmas tree.

The esthetician and fashion designer shared more glimpses of the romantic living-room marriage proposal on her Instagram Story.
In addition to uploading a video of her nine-year-old daughter Kinsley pouring two glasses of sparkling wine for Amanda and her new fiance to celebrate, Amanda also posted an image of the couple embracing and wrote, "When you know, you know."

She continued, "Ahhh I'm still freaking out & shaking lol. Can't wait to tell you all everything! All the love from y'all means so much to me. ILYSM!!!"
And finally, Amanda shared a picture of Kinsley and her youngest daughter Charlie, 7, hugging their soon-to-be stepfather.
Amanda, Michael and Amanda's daughters -- whom Amanda welcomed with her ex-husband Nick Buonfiglio -- also spent Thanksgiving together late last month.
Amanda was married to Nick from 2012 to 2015 and then competed for Ben Higgins' heart on The Bachelor's 20th season one year after getting a divorce.
After Amanda finished in third place on Ben's season, the Lani the Label founder looked for love on Season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise.

Amanda accepted a marriage proposal from former The Bachelorette star Andi Dorfman's ex-fiance Josh Murray during the finale, but they called it quits on their engagement and announced their split in December 2016.

Amanda and Josh had a nasty public breakup, with Amanda calling Josh "the worst" and admitting she had wrongly ignored friends' warnings.
Amanda decided to search for The One on television again by participating in Bachelor in Paradise's fourth edition the next summer, when former The Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher's runner-up Robby Hayes pursued her.
However, Amanda and Robby's romance was short-lived and she confirmed their split in September 2017.

"Robby was somebody who was doing all these sweet things for me and saying that he wants a family and a future, and then we get off the show and all he wanted to do is party and not call me," Amanda told People at the finale taping, which aired later that month.
Amanda subsequently got romantically involved -- off-camera -- with Tillow co-founder Bobby Jacobs and the couple went Instagram official in May 2018.
Bobby, however, appeared to break Amanda's heart just about one year later.
"I'm sad. I cried a lot... I was completely blindsided [by the breakup] and it just happened very suddenly," Amanda told her fans on social media in April 2019.
After a series of heartbreak and men letting her down, Amanda told Us Weekly in April 2020 that dating and getting married again weren't high on her list of "priorities" considering she had "so many other things to worry about" in her life.

But Amanda proceeded to date attorney Oren Agman in 2020 before finally meeting Michael earlier this year.
Amanda made her romance with Michael Instagram official during a vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in February, Us reported.
"It's still new, so they're taking things slow and just enjoying their time together," a source told the magazine at the time. "He has met her daughters, of course, since they're with her half the time."
The source revealed Amanda and Michael had actually "been friends for a couple of years" and Amanda's friends thought they would be "a good match."
Amanda apparently fell hard and fast for Michael, because in August, she told Us that she was hoping her man would pop the question soon.
When an Instagram user asked when she wanted to get engaged, Amanda reportedly replied, "If we're being honest, yesterday."
