Has her final rose wilted? Now that the latest season of The Bachelorette is officially over, fans are left with two questions: Are Charity and Dotun still together from The Bachelorette 2023 and where are they now?

The Bachelorette Season 20 lead is Charity Lawson, a 27-year-old child and family therapist from Columbus, Georgia. Charity was a contestant on The Bachelor Season 27 with Zach Shallcross, where she came in fourth place. Charity was announced as the Season 20 Bachelorette at The Bachelor Season 27 “Women Tell All” special in March 2023. “Stop! Is this for real? “No way! Oh my god, I’m gonna cry.” Charity asked host Jesse Palmer when he offered her the opportunity to be the Season 20 Bachelorette. Palmer responded, “Is that a yes? Will you do it?” to which Charity replied, “Absolutely! 100 percent!” She continued, “I’ve waited forever to find the love of my life. It blows my mind that I could meet my person and be engaged and literally have my happily ever after.”

In an interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show in May 2023, Charity opened up about what she was looking for in a husband. “There are a few traits I definitely know that I need after going through past relationships,” she said. “I need someone who is confident and is sure of what they want, so we’re not playing games. I want someone  who is funny. A sense of humor is really important. And I want someone who is authentic. I want someone who is themselves and they don’t feel a need to put on a façade. I want the true, real you. Those are the top three things, I think!”

During an interview with Us Weekly in August 2023, Charity revealed if she was nervous about what her two finalists, Joey and Dotun, would think about her fourth place finalist, Aaron, coming back once her finale aired. “I don’t think I was worried about Joey and Dotun’s reactions. I knew they would be confused. I mean, I was confused, but I think they were both very grounded and solid in where their connection was with me,” Charity said. “Obviously seeing Aaron come back was a surprise — that week was just so many emotions, so much was happening. … I think you hear me say at the end of the hometowns rose ceremony that I wish there was more time.”

She continued, “And so I’m glad that I did kind of give him that opportunity — give ourselves that opportunity — and it just was, like, a confirming thing that initially I did just make the right choice at that point. [I knew] I had very two solid connections [with Dotun and Joey].”

But back to Charity and Dotun. So are Charity and Dotun still together from The Bachelorette 2023? Read on for what we know about if Charity and Dotun are still together after The Bachelorette Season 20 finale and where their relationship is now.
