Bachelor alum Ben Flajnik found his true love!
Flajnik (40) revealed on Instagram that he married his “best friend” last month in an intimate ceremony, sharing a photo of the couple in full wedding attire.
In the picture he posted on his Instagram, he and his bride can be seen beaming big smiles at the camera while holding each other’s hands. Flajnik wore what appeared to be a dark blue suit with a gray tie and a white rose button, matching his new wife, whose name he has kept secret.
The bride looked gorgeous in a white off-the-shoulder wedding dress that hugged her curves before she draped herself with a small train at the bottom. She wore a long veil that also reached to the floor with flower motifs sewn into the fabric. She completed her wedding look with a pair of strung pearl necklaces and carried a bouquet of white roses.

The couple broke up less than a year later – although they revealed on Bachelorin the episode “After the Final Rose” in which they briefly rekindled their romance after their broken engagement.
“We are engaged. We are in a good place,” said Flajnik at the time. “Now that the main part of the show is over and all the negativity is gone, it can only get better… The root of the problem is that we haven’t been able to be with each other and talk about these things.”
However, the couple did not work out and Robinson eventually married Humberto Preciado, and the couple welcomed two children with a third on the way.
