Bachelor in Paradise star Mari Pepin opens up about life with her husband after the show

When Mari Pepin and Kenny Braasch met on Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise, neither of them knew what would be in store for them.

The pair ended up falling in love and got engaged at the end of the show. Fast forward four years and they're getting ready to celebrate their second wedding anniversary.

Mari and Kenny often share snippets of their lives on social media, where fans can see them enjoying date nights or working out together. Since leaving the Bachelor franchise, Mari has gushed over her life with her husband.

Speaking exclusively to The Express US, she shared, "It's been good. Married life is good.

"I always say married life doesn't feel very different to when we were engaged because we were already living together. So it hasn't changed all that much, but it's fun to have, I guess now legally, like your built in best friend."

Mari admitted she and Kenny "do everything together," before adding, "It's nice to just always have that one person there that you can fall back on for whatever."

The TV star also opened up on what it's been like living with Kenny. "We got a dog together," she told us. "I already had one prior to us being together, so we got a second dog."

Mari joked, "So it's been cool kind of seeing how we quote unquote parent together because I feel like it's a little bit of an indicator for how we would parent like human kids."

The couple have made a lot of changes over the years, moving from a studio apartment to a two-bedroom apartment and it looks like they could be making more changes in the near future.
