In 2020, she first appeared on the first season of "Too Hot To Handle," where she coupled up with costar Harry Jowsey however, she later sparked rumors she was dating "Love Is Blind" star Damian Powers after arriving at a reunion event with him on "After the Altar" season one.

Farago's fiancé Jesse Sullivan is a popular TikTok creator.

Sullivan is a TikTok creator who became popular at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic for sharing his story about his gender transition, and his relationship with his child, Arlo, who uses they/them pronouns.

According to his videos, Sullivan gave birth to Arlo when he was just a teenager before he came out.

He later identified as a lesbian and said that he raised Arlo in a "queer environment" and "as gender neutral as I could."

Sullivan came out as a transgender man in a Halloween Instagram post in 2019.

Arlo often appears on Sullivan's TikTok and Instagram posts and last year they even hosted a podcast together called "Interview With My Kid."

Last year, Sullivan also starred in "My Transparent Life," a documentary about his experience of transitioning, as well as the journeys of a trans couple, and a trans woman.

Earlier this year, Farago was forced to explain their relationship after she appeared on the first season of "Perfect Match."

Sullivan and Farago first posted TikTok videos featuring one another in 2021, and have consistently documented their relationship since April 2022.

Fans were confused when it was revealed earlier this year that Farago was appearing on another dating show, "Perfect Match."

While there was speculation that Farago was seeing Sullivan while on the show, the couple decided to shoot down these rumors in a series of videos, posted on the "Perfect Match" star's TikTok account.

Farago explained in the video that she and Sullivan met when she interviewed Sullivan during a 2021 Pride event organized by the social media platform.

According to Farago, they began dating when she moved to LA later that year, but they split up after the reality star, who is Canadian, went to Canada and got stuck there due to visa issues.

Farago said that while they were seeing each other before she began filming "Perfect Match," it was just a casual fling that only became serious after the show was filmed last year.

"I am grateful for my experience because I learned so much about myself and so much about what I needed in a partner," Farago said.

"Being there taught me so much and literally the minute I left that villa, I texted Jesse, and I was like, 'Hey, are you still single? I'm traumatized and do you want to hang out.'"

The couple have been teasing their engagement for months.

Over the last year, the couple has posted several TikTok videos of each other going to movie premieres, hanging out with Sullivan's child, Arlo, and even getting matching tattoos.

In June 2022, Farago appeared as a guest on the second episode of the "Interview with My Kid" podcast, and Arlo asked his father and Farago if they planned on getting married.

"I guess that's up to me to propose, right," Sullivan said. "But, yes, absolutely, I'm definitely marrying her. I mean, she's the love of my life. I can say that hands down. I'm possibly, maybe, already looking at rings."

Since then, Farago and Sullivan have made several allusions to getting engaged in multiple TikTok video posts, including two posts earlier this week before the engagement announcement.
