Charity ends up with Dotun on Season 20 of 'The Bachelorette.'

Before the season began, resident Bachelor Nation spoiler Reality Steve had no idea who Charity ended up with. All he knew was that Charity's final four men would be Joey, Xavier, Aaron B., and Dotun. Luckily, he was right, but there was still so much more to learn about what would happen after the Final Four ... such as Xavier's cheating ways. Like, who could have predicted that?!

The season took many unexpected twists and turns from Brayden getting the first impression rose to Aaron B. returning to try to win Charity back during Fantasy Suites week. But it also had the best outcome possible: Charity ends up with a man who never even watched The Bachelorette and was legitimately just looking for love. Finally, someone who's there for the right reasons!

In a dramatically romantic finale, Charity gives Dotun Olubeko her final rose and he gets down on one knee. During the After the Final Rose special, we learned even more about their fairytale romance, from how they're feeling after the show's ending to what we should expect from them going forward.

"We’ve anticipated this moment. Just to be free and in public, to live lives normally. This is everything,” Charity said during the special. “She continued, You made me feel alive. You made me believe in love again. You made me feel so valued and so seen. I see you as my husband. I see you as my future. I see it so clear and I don’t have any doubts. I love you so much.”

Dotun seemed just as excited. "She's everything to me," he said and added that he's "never been so sure" of anything in his life. Perhaps Charity and Dotun will be the Bachelorette couple that finally sticks!

During the season, Charity fell in love with multiple people, so she could've ended up with anyone.

Ahead of the season premiere, Charity spoke with Extra and dished about her journey to find love. The leading lady brushed over her current relationship status before opening up about how difficult the experience was and falling in love with multiple people.

"It's emotionally taxing, and you see me obviously vocalize being in love with two people," she told the outlet. "It's a lot, so I never obviously imagined that I would be in the position for that to happen, but it happens."

Charity also explained how her work as a therapist helped her navigate the show, telling Extra, "I truly credit a lot of my coping mechanisms, like my ability to regulate my emotions in high-intensity moments, to my background as a therapist, but also how I navigate and approach these relationships."

"I think I have a little bit of an insight of how to approach people, how to approach conversations. I pride myself on being an active listener, [and a] good communicator," she added. Clearly, her expertise in communicating worked.

Hats off to the happy couple!
