Yrigoyen’s proposal to Farrar comes two years after he asked for “Bachelorette” Season 14 lead Becca Kufrin’s hand in marriage. 

In 2018, as his “Bachelorette” journey was unfolding, Yrigoyen was called out for “liking” Instagram posts that mocked undocumented immigrants, the trans community, liberal feminists, and that spread misinformation about Parkland, Fla., shooting survivor David Hogg.

Yrigoyen later apologized

He and Kufrin eventually split in September 2020, largely because of Yrigoyen’s support for the pro-police Blue Lives Matter movement that coincided with the Black Lives Matter movement.
