UK grad wins ‘The Bachelor’

UK graduate Whitney Bischoff won the proposal from Chris Soules on the Monday night finale of ABC’s “The Bachelor.”

Bischoff, 29, earned a Bachelor of Sciences in Nursing from UK in 2007, according to WetPaint.

She is currently a registered nurse for the Fertility Clinics of Illinois in Chicago.

The 19th season of the show ran for 10 weeks and pitted Bischoff against 29 other would-be fiancés.

The proposal was taped in November and Bischoff and Soules, 33, have spent the last four months hiding their engagement. Bischoff told “Good Morning America” that “right now we’re really excited to just start our life as a normal couple in the real world.”

In the season finale, Bischoff indicated that she would move to Soules’ hometown, Arlington, Iowa to become a farmer’s wife.

The couple told “Good Morning America” that they will next spend a few weeks together in Los Angeles while Soules competes on “Dancing With the Stars,” then move to his family’s farm.
