Yes,Colton Underwoodand Cassie Randolph have discussed engagement. But yes, they’re still taking things slow — despite the fact thatBachelorNationis eagerly anticipating their next move.
But the reality stars understand the continued interest in their relationship (and pendingengagement). “Everybody’s sort of been on this ride with us and this journey with this. We want them to sort of come along and stay up with us, stay up-to-date,” the former NFL player said. “They’re invested and we appreciate it. The fans have been amazing.”

On Underwood’s season ofThe Bachelor(which aired from January-March), frontrunner Randolph, 23, shocked fans when she was unable to commit to an engagement andleft the show before their Fantasy Suite date— but he fought to get her back after breaking up with the remaining contestants because he knew she was the one for him.
“I thought I made the right decision in leaving,” Randolph previously toldPEOPLE. “But Colton fought for me. And he has shown me what a healthy relationship looks like.”
“Colton never put pressure on me,” she continued. “I think that’s why we’re still here today, because we took it at our own pace. We didn’t want to rush something that was going to be forever.”

Randolph and Underwood left the show as a couple — and though there was no proposal, both have made it clear that that’s the plan moving forward.
“She doesn’t have a ring on her finger yet,” Underwood told PEOPLE. “But she will, one day.”
Randolph moved to Los Angelesfrom her hometown of Huntington Beach followingThe Bachelorfinale. Although she’s much closer to the former NFL player (who relocated from Denver earlier this year), the two have yet to move in together.
Underwood admits, “It’s been talked about,” but says “we don’t really want to force anything.”
“We just want to let it naturally happen,” he adds. “There’s a few steps that we still have left in our relationship to get there.”
