The (legitimately) happy couple also talk wedding plans and where they might want to settle down.
It might have been the most feel-good ending toThe Bachelorette… ever?
(Beingnamed the next Bachelorprobably helped heal Joey’s broken heart.)

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Congratulations!
CHARITY LAWSON:Getting in the same Uber and going to dinner, that’s about it.
Also, going out with some friends.

It was like, “Oh my gosh, we’re doing this together!”
What are you most looking forward to doing together?
CHARITY:I’m a skilled grocery shopper.
What was that first post-show meeting with Mama Vickie like?
There’ve been lots of FaceTimes in-between.
Every now and then we just check in with the parents.
Dotun, do you feel like you’ve won your future mother-in-law over?
DOTUN:Um, I hope so.
Like Charity said, she’s a very tough woman in a good way.
So yeah, it’s only upwards from here.
We’re making progress.
Dotun, did you have any interactions with him that night?
DOTUN:Actually, I spoke with him a lot.
But I just said stuff like, “Fate brought me here.
Charity seems like a great person.”
I didn’t even get to talk to Dotun on night one!
He had way more conversations with Dotun than I did.
CHARITY:I respect it.
I respect my mom no matter how difficult that moment in time was.
I was quite literally losing my mind, so I think you guys all saw that, too.
DOTUN:Yeah, my mom is on the opposite side of the spectrum [laughs].
That lady is something else.
I love her, though, and obviously her enthusiasm only actually brought us closer.
It keeps getting brought up, and I think it’s apt for our cultures to have both.
So we’ll have the Nigerian wedding and possibly a more intimate one for closer friends and family.
When we get there, we’ll get there.
Duringhometown dates, Dotun, your grandma called it!
She said you and Charity were “bonded from Heaven.”
DOTUN:It’s wild, I had no idea.
I watched that back and was like, “Grandma said that?”
I was like, “Dang, Grandma knew!”
CHARITY: So beautiful.
Charity, as you mentioned, you’re based in Georgia and Dotun is in Brooklyn.
What are you guys thinking in terms of where you want to settle?
Luckily I can work remotely with everything I do.
So we’ll be in LA for a few months, and after that, who knows?
But definitely wherever we go, we’ll be together.
CHARITY:The experience itself is so life-changing.
Just from a lead’s perspective, it’s obviously completely different from being a contestant.
That’s the challenging part.
We’ll be watching and wishing him the best.
Dotun, have you been able to talk to Joey to give him any advice on finding love?
But I know he’s ecstatic for me and I’m ecstatic for him.
Truly, he’s going to be a great Bachelor, I know it.
He’s so intentional.
Shoot,Ifell in love with the guy!
