Charity Lawson recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the "Bachelorette" finale, opening up about what makes her relationship with one of her remaining men, Dontun Olubeko, so special.
"When I look at Joey and Dotun -- two stand-up, incredible guys, and our connections are very different but also have very similar core characteristics," Lawson told The Hollywood Reporter, adding, "When I am with Dotun, you see just this undeniable chemistry. It almost seems like it's just something that is meant to be."
She added, "For me, in this whole journey, the way that they both were just extremely intentional, and I never felt like I had to question why they were there, is huge. I was rest assured with Dotun and Joey that I didn't have to worry about that at all."
During Fantasy Suite week, Lawson really opened up to Olubeko, saying "It's an absolute fairy tale, like, truly."
She then spoke to the cameras one-on-on, admitting, "What we are creating and writing is the most beautiful love story. "My gut has been wrong in the past, but I'm hopeful with Dotun, that's not the case."

Olubeko opened up about his relationships and feelings for Lawson during Fantasy Week, telling the "Bachelorette" lead, "[My head] is in line with where my heart is now, at this point. The scary part is that I'm not scared. The way that I care about you and the way I feel about you when I see you, and holding you, are such a clear sign to me. It's scary how easy it is to say that I'm genuinely in love with you, Charity."
Lawson then reciprocated those feelings, opening up about their relationship. "I am 100 percent in love with you, and being able to say, 'I love you,' that is where I'm at. I don't want to hold that in, and I'm not going to hold it in anymore," Lawson told Olubeko, "And it feels so freakin' good to say!"
