Melissa Rycroft And Fiance Talk About Their True Love

Tye Strickland with fiance Melissa Rycroft

Everything seems to be finally falling into place for Bachelor alum, Melissa Rycroft.  Melissa’s life has made a complete 360 since being dumped publicly by her then fiance, Jason Mesnick, just months ago.

Melissa has since had a successful run on Dancing With The Stars, gotten a job with GMA, and recently gotten engaged to her beau, Tye Strickland.

“Tye is my true love,” Melissa, 26, tells PEOPLE in its new issue.  These days, Melissa harbors no hard feelings towards her ex, Jason, because the situation brought her to where she is today.  “No disrespect [to Jason] at all, but that situation doesn’t compare to where I am now – engaged and happy. It’s a different feeling,” she says.

Tye, 28, also speaks out for the first time about their relationship, “The last six months have not been normal…But we wouldn’t change it because what we had to go through has allowed us to be where we are today. It’s been a blessing in disguise, and I don’t think either of us has ill feelings towards anyone.”

The happy couple will be appearing tomorrow, July 28th, on The Bachelorette: After The Final Rose.  I’m certain Melissa has her reservations appearing on this show considering what happened the last time she was on it.
