After falling in love and getting engaged on The Bachelor's 27th season, which aired last year on ABC, Kaity and Zach decided to give their relationship its best chance of succeeding by talking to a professional.

Kaity, 28, revealed on Instagram that she and Zach, 27, began therapy as a couple right after their engagement aired on The Bachelor's March 2023 finale.

When asked if she and Zach plan to have any premarital counseling before their wedding, Kaity revealed that therapy has already helped her relationship with Zach, which is now thriving, according to Us Weekly.

"Zach and I started couples therapy right after the show," Kaity wrote via Instagram Stories on Wednesday, March 20.

"Couples counseling can be incredibly beneficial even when things are going well in a relationship."

The travel nurse, who currently lives with Zach in Texas, elaborated on how therapy is useful for "strengthening communication skills" and "addressing unresolved issues."

Kaity shared, "It helps maintain our already very healthy relationship. And especially after getting off a crazy show like The Bachelor, it helped facilitate vulnerability and openness which I used to have a hard time with."

Kaity and Zach just moved into a new home together in Austin three months ago.

"Officially our new home," Kaity gushed on Instagram Stories in January, alongside a photo of their new two-story house.

Kaity and Zach celebrated the one-year anniversary of their The Bachelor engagement in late November 2023.

At the time, The Bachelor couple told BachelorNation.com that getting married wasn't their "priority" at the moment.

Getting a house, starting our future, and still building our relationship are our priorities," Zach said at the time. "This is our first time to just take things at the pace we want to instead of having a deadline."

Zach and Kaity said they initially pictured themselves tying the knot in 2025.

While Zach didn't confirm with BachelorNation.com whether he and Kaity were still eyeing 2025 for their wedding date, he noted how their nuptials "will be later down the road."

"We're not rushed," he explained. "When the time is right, the time is right."

Kaity backed Zach's sentiment and said, "Yeah, we're just doing things at our own pace and doing what we want to do. We are just living our normal lives and having a very normal relationship!"

The Bachelor 27 couple began living and renting an Austin apartment together in July 2023.

"We're looking to get into a new apartment next year for a year, but during that time, we're saving up and will hopefully buy a house by the end of next year," Zach said last summer.

Kaity added how she and her fiance were "trying to set up financial goals" that would ultimately allow them to buy a house in Austin, where they plan to live for the next five years at least.

"That's where we see ourselves planting roots. Our foundation home will be there," Zach confirmed.

Both Zach and Kaity -- who both lived in Austin prior to filming The Bachelor -- returned to their normal careers in software sales and nursing, respectively, after falling in love on the ABC reality dating show.

In October 2023, Kaity told BachelorNation.com that she and Zach were tossing around the idea of a destination wedding.

"We're totally open to exploring new ideas and new environments like maybe Canada, who knows," Kaity shared at the time.

On The Bachelor: After the Final Rose in March 2023, Zach and Kaity first announced how they had "already started looking at venues" for their wedding.

"But also, at AFR, we said 2025 -- and I think that's just realistic. I think that's smart. I don't think we need to put pedal to the metal, like, we have our whole lives together so why rush into things?" Zach said.

Kaity explained how she and Zach "just want to make sure it's right" in terms of how the wedding will turn out, and the former The Bachelor star agreed.

"If I wasn't sure, then... I know I wouldn't have [proposed]... And when I [picked] Kaity, there was not a single doubt in my mind. I was like, 'I am going to marry that woman. I can't imagine not,'" Zach gushed.

"And [I feel] even stronger now because I've gotten to know her more and we're still learning a lot about each other."

While The Bachelor couple's relationship was still fairly new at that point, Kaity insisted, "We are right for each other," without any hesitation.

Zach also acknowledged how "planning a wedding takes a long time."

But the pair has faced issues in their relationship just like any other couple.

The Bachelor 27 star admitted he and Kaity fight and bicker but, at the end of the day, "the love is there" and he doesn't think that love is going to go anywhere.

"I didn't think it was fully possible... through a TV show, but it kind of just feels like a blessing, and we're just really lucky," Zach noted.

In terms of what they're looking forward to the most in their relationship, both Kaity and Zach said last year that it would be "starting a family."

Kaity, in fact, revealed, "We're definitely having kids, 100 percent."

Zach starred on The Bachelor after having his own heart broken by Rachel Recchia on The Bachelorette's nineteenth season last year. He decided to leave in third place after Fantasy Suites, but it appeared Rachel was going to eliminate him anyway.
