The couple met when Warner, fresh off of a Super Bowl loss, slid into her DMs at the suggestion of his sister-in-law.

“His brother’s wife FaceTimed him and told him there was a girl onThe Bachelorthat was his type and his vibe,” she recalled on theBachelor Happy Hourpodcast. “He thought she was being ridiculous, but he reached out. He waited until I was sent home, and around two weeks later, he found me on Instagram and shot his shot!”

Even though Weber sent Hightower home in week six of the show, she appreciated how everything worked out in the end.

“It wasn’t as great as I wanted in the moment. But looking back, I would never have been where I am in life and I wouldn’t have found the man I’m going to spend the rest of my life with if I hadn’t been onThe Bachelor,” Hightower continued. “It’s just crazy.”
