People Magazine‘Bachelor’ Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff cover this week’s issue of People magazine.
Chris Soules went with his gut.
When the “The Bachelor” handed the final rose to Whitney Bischoff during the Season 19 end of the hit ABC reality show, he meant it.
“She was the person I could see myself with,” Soules told People magazine.
“Whitney is my soulmate. It became even more clear at the end. It just felt right.”
Soules, who covers this week’s issue of the mag with his glowing bride-to-be, does not discredit any of the other ladies who were in the running.
“It would have been simpler had there not been so many splendid women,” he said.
Nicole Kohl/ABCChris Soules proposed to Whitney Bischoff on the season end of ‘The Bachelor,’ which aired Monday.
“It was a very hard choice to be in.”
Soules particularly opened up on what incorrect between him and runner-up rival, Becca Tilley.
“Becca is in a different place in her life compared to where I am,” he clarified.
“That doesn’t make it a terrible thing, and it didn’t exchange how I felt about her, but it’s about trying to find the person that you can see in your life and that you have the best chance of making it work forever with.”
“My sister said, ‘You’re not looking for a girlfriend, you’re looking for a wife.’ That’s the truth.”

Now that the season has wrapped, Soules and Bischoff can finally take their relationship out in the open.
“I’m relieved that this is over,” Bischoff said of keeping things under wraps since November.
“I’m looking forward to the life that we’re going to start. I think a lot of splendid things are going to take place.”
The 29-year-ancient blond is set to go to Arlington, Iowa, which is Soules’ hometown, following his stint on “Dancing With Stars,” premiering March 16.
For now, Bischoff plans to commute back and into the world from the West Coast to work in Chicago.
“Hopefully we’ll be in L.A. for a while because Chris is going to take home that Mirrorball Trophy. He’s got rhythm,” she told the mag.
“I think the assumption is farmers don’t dance and that I’m going to go out there and look like a perfect idiot,” Soules added.
“I’m going to try to prove that farmers can dance.”
The newly engaged pair clearly have a busy schedule ahead of them, but they’re not in a rush down the aisle.
“I don’t think you can put a time limit on something like that. When we feel it, it will take place,” Bischoff said of a future wedding date.
