‘Bachelor in Paradise’ alum Michelle Money engaged to golfer Mike Weir: ‘Me and you forever!’

The couple first met by chance in 2016. “I was entering a restaurant with my daughter, and he happened to be going out with a group of friends. “I didn’t see him, but apparently he saw me and asked his friends if any of them knew me,” explains Money.

“They happened to know a mutual friend who ended up giving Mike my number. We went on our first date and never looked back! I only found out months later that after he first saw me at that restaurant, he couldn’t stop thinking about me, so he left a friend’s house and drove to the restaurant to try to find me, but I was already gone!”

Marriage wasn’t always in the cards for Weir and Money.

“We spent the first five years of our relationship understanding that we would never get married,” she says. “He was my forever boyfriend and vice versa. After my daughter Brielle had a very bad longboarding accident where she almost lost her life, I started to look at things differently.”

Money’s daughter Brielle was in a coma and spent 26 days in the hospital after suffering a traumatic brain injury in 2020.

“It became so clear to me that Mike was more than just a forever boyfriend to me,” she says. “He was an incredible support to me and Brielle during the most difficult period of my life. He brought us closer in a way I had never experienced, and marriage seemed like a beautiful commitment I wanted to make to him. Now we can’t believe we were thinking about not getting married. He is truly the love of my life!”

Weir popped the question to Money in January during a trip to New Zealand. “We took a helicopter to the top of the glacier where there was the most incredible glacial lake. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him there on the glacier. It was amazing.”
