However, Thomas suggested he's not in a rush to get married, even though Bachelor Nation puts a lot of pressure on its successful couples to get engaged, tie the knot, and welcome children.
"This feels like the most healthy, normal relationship I've ever had," Thomas shared.

"It's just a little more people who are invested in it. But at the end of the day, that doesn't matter to who we are. That doesn't impact our relationship."
Thomas added, "We're just normal people living normal lives."
Becca and Thomas haven't even moved in together yet.
Becca currently resides in Los Angeles, CA, while Thomas has a place in San Diego.
Luckily, there is not much distance between the pair and they can spend a lot of time together.

"It's as close as living together without living together," Thomas revealed. "She has multiple closets at my house. I have stuff at her house."
The Season 17 The Bachelorette contestant joked, "You know it's official when you have toothbrushes at each other's places!"

During an October episode of the "Talking It Out" podcast hosted by The Bachelorette alums Mike Johnson and Bryan Abasolo, Becca revealed how Thomas has sent her "multiple text messages" asking about engagement rings.
"It's something we've talked about," Thomas disclosed during the joint interview. "I mean, I don't want to spend my life with anybody else... I wouldn't want to wake up next to anybody else."

Becca, who starred on The Bachelorette's fourteenth season in 2018, recently gushed about loving life with Thomas, whom she met on Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise this past summer.
On the Bachelor in Paradise finale, Becca was shown breaking up with Thomas and crushing his heart before overnight Fantasy Suite dates because, despite having "an incredible start" to a relationship, Becca didn't want to leave The Bachelor franchise for the third time with a man unless she knew everything about him, including how he'd face adversity and real-life challenges.
However, the finale concluded with an update on Becca and Thomas' relationship, revealing they had reunited after filming ended and are now dating, "happy and in love."
During Becca and Thomas' appearance on "Talking It Out," Becca revealed she's the one who tracked down Thomas' phone number and initiated their reunion.
"After we ended things, I think I waited a couple days. I didn't have my phone right away and he didn't have his phone right away, so I think I gave it two days," Becca said.

Thomas recalled, "I was waiting for my bags in the San Diego airport when I got a text."

While Thomas confessed he was "mad" and "hurt" about his Paradise breakup, he had faith they'd have "a future conversation."
"I was just waiting for the moment and opportunity to see her again," Thomas shared.
"When she first texted me, she started off, 'I know I'm probably the last person you want to hear from right now.' And it couldn't be further from the truth, that's the one text I was waiting to hear."
Thomas shared, "That's the one person I wanted to see. That's the one person I wanted to hold... [Our split] showed us that we experienced something and it was taken away from us for a moment."
Becca said she met up with Thomas in San Diego and they picked up right where they had left off, and Thomas told Hollywood Life that he had no hesitation or reservations about giving Becca another chance.
Becca also boasted about how Thomas is different from her past relationships because he's so passionate about a life with her and was prepared to fight "tooth and nail" to save their romance.
"He is so supportive and he's just funny and quirky in the cutest ways. Everything about him, I just felt safe with, unlike anything I had in the past. I was just like, 'This guy is my guy,'" Becca gushed.
Becca had been engaged twice before starring on The Bachelorette.
Becca had her heart broken by Arie Luyendyk Jr. on The Bachelor's 22nd season in 2018, when he decided to end their engagement because he was still in love with his runner-up, Lauren Burnham, who is now his wife and the mother of his three children.

Becca also had a very public breakup with her The Bachelorette 14 winner, Garrett Yrigoyen, in September 2020.
But the third time may be the charm, as Becca apparently thinks Thomas could be The One and they are meant to be.
"I'm gonna probably hate myself for actually admitting this to anyone, but I called my mom -- and even though I was engaged twice in the past -- I was like, 'Mom, I think I want to marry this guy,'" Becca said on the "Talking It Out" podcast.
"It's the first time I've ever actually said that out loud."
Since the pair began dating in the real world, Becca has defended Thomas and stood up for their relationship on more than one occasion.
