Caelynn recently posted a YouTube video and shared how she's trying to get pregnant over a year after marrying her Bachelor in Paradise love, Dean.

"We are trying to start a family," Caelynn shared in the upload to her YouTube channel of the couple's plans for 2025.

"It's on the vision board, which might be weird. I don't know if that's considered a goal because we are actively trying. It's just harder to make a baby than I thought it would be."

Caelynn and Dean fell in love on Bachelor in Paradise's sixth season, and they got married in September 2023 in Colorado.

After doing quite a bit of traveling, Caelynn revealed that she and Dean are ready to settle down and enjoy home life more -- and that includes trying for Baby No. 1.

"I know everyone says that, 'No, I'm going to get pregnant so easily.' My mom got pregnant so fast with all of her kids. I was like, 'That's going to be me too,'" Caelynn said.

But Caelynn admitted "ovulation is tricky" and she's "still figuring all that out."

Caelynn, for instance, had tried to use a fertility tracking device after hearing it worked for her friend after just one month. That "wasn't the case" for Caelynn, however.

Dean and Caelynn both changed their last names to Bell in honor of Dean's late mother, Debbie Bell, after they became husband and wife.

"Dean is so compassionate. He has a way of making everyone feel so special and I really admire that about him," Caelynn gushed to People after exchanging vows.

"He's taught me a lot in the past four years of us being together. He never says no or he can't do something, he always tries, and almost always succeeds and it's been great to flip my perspective on things and start challenging myself more."

Caelynn concluded, "Each year with Dean gets better, so I'm excited to see how we grow as husband and wife. Hopefully kids are in our future as well."

Dean surprised his fiancee with a new engagement ring -- her fourth one from Dean -- in Spring 2023 while they were exploring a bamboo forest in Kyoto, Japan.

Dean had lost his original 4.5 carat diamond for Caelynn, and so he proposed in October 2022 with a temporary ring featuring a tiny diamond. Caelynn wore a temporary ring with a replica moissanite stone for a while, and then Caelynn's final ring is a real diamond.

Dean and Caelynn previously said they plan to have kids of their own as well as adopt.

On Bachelor in Paradise's sixth season, which aired in Summer 2019, Dean broke up with Caelynn on her birthday and left the show alone because he didn't think he was ready to provide the commitment that Caelynn wanted.

However, Dean returned for Caelynn later on and begged her to give him a second chance, and the pair left Paradise dating each other.

Dean proposed marriage to Caelynn in late 2022 following a grueling 22-mile hike to Hawaii's Kauai Island about three years after they had begun dating.

Caelynn then popped the question to Dean in December 2022, which made their engagement even more "official." She forced him to conquer his fear of riding horses since he had pushed her out of her comfort zone with that brutal Hawaiian hike.

Caelynn and Dean -- who had admitted he'd prefer to just get married in a low-key courthouse ceremony -- initially planned to elope in Italy but then they realized Colorado would be a better wedding destination because all of their friends would be able to attend.

Once Dean got "the van life" out of his system, he and Caelynn moved into a home together in Las Vegas in Spring 2021. Caelynn and Dean later relocated to Denver, CO.

Back in June 2022, Dean revealed on his podcast that he had made a deal with Caelynn about getting engaged.

"I made a deal with [Caelynn]. I was like, 'I'll buy you a ring if you buy me a truck,'" Dean said, which sparked criticism from some fans that Dean didn't treat Caelynn very well.

Dean also admitted at the time how he had thrown a "hissy fit" upon seeing the 4.5 karat ring Caelynn was hoping to have on her finger one day and the pair got into "a scuffle."

Dean said getting engaged was simply "a touchy subject" in his relationship, adding, "Caelynn makes significantly more money than I do and here I am having to spend all this money on something I don't even want. Like, I want her to get what she wants, but she's the one who wants to get married."

But then Caelynn came through and bought Dean a truck in August 2022.

Back in April 2022, Caelynn recalled her reaction to Dean's request that she propose marriage to him.

"When Dean first said that, I thought, 'Okay, [it's] another thing Dean is saying to break the mold.' Sometimes he says things just for a reaction, and he'll admit that. I thought that's kind of what he was doing," Caelynn explained in a Q&A on YouTube.

"But the more I thought about it, the more I loved it, because traditionally, he would propose to me. That's something I've dreamt of for so long, and that's something that he doesn't get -- a day that's catered to him and this special moment where he's really thought of. That's when I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I love this.'"

Caelynn pointed out how she and Dean have "a partnership" and so they both deserved to have a proposal day. She therefore got "really really into" the idea.

Dean and Caelynn have been wearing wedding bands since 2020 to show they are committed to each other. Caelynn told Us Weekly in 2022 that it "really frustrates" her when fans assume Dean isn't good to her.

"He is hilarious and he's very sarcastic and he's also the most romantic person I think I've ever met. He's so thoughtful," Caelynn boasted at the time.

"So I think that's a big misconception -- that I'm, like, more invested in the relationship or he, like, doesn't treat me right. I'm like, 'No, he treats me exceptionally well and he's always going out of his way to just surprise me and do romantic things.'"

Prior to meeting on Paradise, Caelynn competed for Colton Underwood's heart on The Bachelor's 23rd season, and Dean had been on multiple The Bachelor spinoffs after initially appearing on Rachel Lindsay's season of The Bachelorette.

Dean previously gushed to Us his relationship with Caelynn is "monumentally different" from other women he's dated in the past. Dean was previously linked to Kristina Schulman, Danielle Lombard and Lesley Murphy from The Bachelor world alone.

"She's very intelligent and compassionate. I am able to be myself around her and she's able to be herself and that's how we create synergy and build around each other," Dean explained of Caelynn.

"For the first time in my Bachelor franchise relationship history, I feel like I'm able to say what I want, do what I want, and allow my partner to build with me while I'm doing that."

Dean, however, believed in late 2019 that marriage was "never going to happen" for them.

"She does joke around about us getting married all the time, and I always say, 'Sorry, it's not going to happen.' I don't know, I'm super unconventional and she obviously is a little more conventional," Dean told the magazine at the time.

"We joke around about it. Just try to keep expectations to a minimum, you know? Like I said on the show, underpromise, overdeliver."
