The reality TV star took to Instagram to pose alongside his man and noted that "life is going to be fun with you."
Colton told People: "After my birthday, Jordan and I went to Big Sur for a weekend getaway to decompress and relax in nature.
"I couldn't have pictured a more beautiful place to celebrate an amazing milestone in my life and relationship."
He concluded: "I'm extremely happy! 2021 was the most transformative year of my life.
"Starting 2022 off with my best friend, teammate and now fiancé is something I never thought was going to be possible."
COMING OUT
The pair kicked off their relationship in 2021 as Colton revealed he is gay during an interview with GMA host Robin Roberts.
He said at the time: "This year has been a lot for a lot of people.
“It's probably made a lot of people look in the mirror and confront what they were running from.
"For me, I've run from myself for a long time, and I've hated myself for a long time. I'm gay. And I came to terms with that earlier this year.
Adding: “The next step in all of this was letting people know. I'm still nervous, it's been a journey for sure."
He recalled a particular experience in high school that he battled with throughout his life, in which he was "super insecure" and "thought he was gay."
The reality star revealed his classmates thought he may be gay as they questioned his faith and abstinence from sex, writing: "It was one of those things where you hear something so often, you start believing it.
"I thought, maybe I am gay. The captain of the football team should be having sex and drinking, right? But I wasn’t."
Just days before the release of his Netflix special, Underwood discussed his sexuality again, admitting that he might not have come out if it weren't for Cassie Randolph.
“I think that was sort of a huge wake-up call," Underwood told US Weekly when talking about the drama with his ex. "I’m sad that it even got to that point to where that had to be my wake-up call and me affecting other people in my life was sort of the moment that I realized I had to come out.
“Obviously, I wish I would have had the courage to come out without having to be pushed.”
Adding: "When it boiled down to it, it was because I wasn’t myself. I wasn’t being true to who I was, and I wasn’t in a really good place.”
