The 29-year-old podcast host and Bravo star officially said ‘yes’ to the 45-year-old Irish born comedian on Valentine’s Day, revealing more details of the proposal during a conversation with People

Though the pair only began dating in July, both shared that they knew ‘fairly quickly’ they had found their person, Hannah confidently saying, ‘When you know you know.’ 

Put a ring on it: Summer House star Hannah Berner, 29, is engaged to her boyfriend of eight months Des Bishop, 45, revealing that he proposed on Valentine’s Day, telling People in conversation,’When you know you know’

Berner — whose past relationship woes continue to play out on the hit Bravo show — acknowledged that though it ‘happened so fast,’ the pair were ‘very excited.’ 

She said that humor has been a big part of their relationship — both being in the comedic space — which has carried their relationship and even was the foundation of the proposal. 

Bishop who met Hannah through Instagram decided to distract her with a funny video while he got into position. 

‘When we first started dating, Des would send me this really funny video, singing videos, that would make me laugh. On Valentine’s Day, I woke up and I had a video of him singing, which I hadn’t gotten since the summer. And then it ends with him being like, “I have a surprise for you”,’ she shared. 

Unexpected: 'I'm in bed with my Invisalign on, and my breath is terrible. And he's just kneeling on the side, and then he just pulls out the ring. I think I just made weird crying noises,' she shared of the proposal

She continued to provide more details of the proposal, revealing that she was in a less than flattering state when he decided to get down on one knee. 

‘I’m in bed with my Invisalign on, and my breath is terrible. And he’s just kneeling on the side, and then he just pulls out the ring. I think I just made weird crying noises,’ she said. 

Both reflected on the whirlwind relationship and how they knew it was meant to be.  

Bishop said that he was ‘fairly certain fairly quickly that Hannah was for the one for [him].’

‘When I met her the first time, my immediate thought was not only is she beautiful, but I just want to spend all the time with her because she’s so much fun,’ he said.

Berner said ‘He lets me be me, and we laugh together. I make him laugh, and he makes me laugh…I really just fell in love with how his mind works. And I really listen to his advice, and I really just respect him.’ 

She had previously told Alexandra Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast in late July that he was the oldest person she had ever dated. 

‘We were on the beach and we kissed and the oldest guy guy I’ve ever kissed was 36…so I was afraid – I was attracted to him – but what if I feel like I’m kissing my creepy older uncle,’ she joked. 

Despite the initial hesitation, the relationship quickly got serious but they were forced apart when she had to go film Summer House for six weeks in The Hamptons.

Due to the global pandemic, the cast was not allowed to venture out or have guests over to the house (as they had in previous seasons), but the pair gassed up the relationship when they reunited in September and began virtually living together.     

Now with a ring on her finger, Berner spoke on behalf of the couple saying that they ‘want to get married sooner rather than later,’ adding ‘why wait,’ if they’re best friends.      

Hannah also gushed about his choice in ring: ‘It’s just perfect because I can wear it with my sweats. I can wear it more dressed up,’ adding ‘I feel like it’s, as my friends would say, very me.’  

He did good: Berner said the ring was 'very her' also adding that they have spoken about getting married 'sooner rather than later' because 'why wait?'
