'The Bachelorette' star Andi Dorfman gushed about having three kids with Josh Murray shortly before split

Not long before Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray called off their engagement, the tenth-season The Bachelorette couple happily discussed their big future plans -- which clearly all came crashing down.


When asked where they saw themselves in five years, Dorfman told with LA Travel magazine she wanted children badly.

"Parents of two [kids] working on number three... [and] I hope we still live in Atlanta, I think, in five years. We talk about having kids, but I want to feel like I can do it all. I want to feel like I can have a career in fashion, I would love to design clothes. I'm actually just starting to get my feet in it now, starting with some T-shirts," Dorfman told LA Travel.

"I would like to design high-end looking clothes for an affordable price. I hate that you can't buy a $30 shirt that doesn't fall apart after wearing it two times, but you also can't afford a $300 shirt, so I would love to find a way to have great materials with great cuts at an affordable price for everybody. I wouldn't design anything I wouldn't want to wear or that I personally wouldn't buy."

Murray, on the other hand, became more invested in health and fitness over time.


"I'm big into [it]," he said. "I love trying to change people's lives for the better. I see myself still doing financial advising as well... I have a great team around me."

The couple announced their split on January 8. They got engaged on May 9 although their proposal didn't air on television until late July. Once their experience on The Bachelorette came to an end, Murray and Dorfman admitted their lifestyle changed drastically and they never attempted to recreate any of their over-the-top dates.

"It's not like we try and keep up with all these romantic dates that we went on," Dorfman explained.

"I'll never be able to one-up her on a date she's been on, for sure!" Murray added.

"We also saw a realness in each other while we were on these dates, and yes it was amazing to be in these castles and in these romantic places but it was more amazing to see our relationship happening and see the conversation that was coming about it," Dorfman said.


The former Bachelorette then continued, "We got to do these incredible things that most people would be lucky to ever do, but you kind of take it as an isolative. We did that, it was amazing, but now it's back to reality, and we love the reality part too."

Murray noted that Dorfman's father asked him when they first met how he'd handle all the glitz and glamour dying down.

"I was like, 'I'm glad this isn't real life, I know what real life is about and I can't wait to get back to just relaxing and being myself, I don't need all this stuff to make me happy,'" Murray said.

But Murray and Dorfman still kept the romance alive by traveling quite often when the show finished.

"We went [on a safehouse visit] to Tulum, which is Mexico as we've never seen it before. It's like a yoga town, there are a lot of eco-friendly hotels, and it's a totally different version of Mexico than what people are used to. We've also traveled a lot to LA and New York [and] Alabama," Dorfman told LA Travel.


"We've [also] done some traveling for weddings to North Carolina," Murray added.

They also both saw themselves heading to South Africa for a future vacation.

"We've had a lot of support from the fans out there so it'd be nice to hang out with... [them] and definitely do an African safari," Murray noted.

Dorfman and the former pro baseball player seemed to share a very similar outlook on fame, wealth and happiness. They both hoped to make a difference -- Dorfman with her fashion and Murray apparently with fitness.

"We walked into this lifestyle where there's a lot of people following you and looking at your every move. Some of it is looking up to us, which is an amazing feeling, but it also comes with a responsibility, and Josh was always good about that from the beginning," Dorfman explained.


"People use their power in so many different ways, whether it's to be famous or to be rich... [and] that power in a funny way is very powerful, so why not use it to promote things that you really believe in? It's amazing what you can do with a sense of power, even if it's only short term. Just to do better for people is an incredible feeling."

Murray completely agreed with that sentiment.

"We've definitely been very blessed to see a lot of things and do a lot of things -- whether it's in the fashion world or me doing what I do, we just love helping people, making people happy. That we can make as big as a difference as we can, that's what's nice about everything," Josh told the magazine.

"I think when God gives you so much, it comes with a lot of responsibility, and you need to do the right things. That's what we're most excited about."
