Jordan Rodgersis letting fans in on the details behind his “perfectly imperfect” second proposal toJoJo Fletcher!
Nearly one month after the formerBachelorettestar, 28, announced that Rodgers, 30, hadre-proposed with a brand new ring, the former NFL player shared an adorable video of the moment he got down on one knee.
Though fans may assume that everything was perfect based on the Instagram clip, Rodgers revealed how it was far from that, admitting, “almost everything that could’ve gone wrong DID!”
“Funny how much harder this proposal thing is without 20 producers planning the whole thing!!” he joked of his initial on-air proposal in 2016 during the season 12 finale ofThe Bachelorette.
Still, Rodgers proudly said, “I wouldn’t have it any other way…IT WAS PERFECTLY IMPERFECT.”
The whirlwind of events first began withthe custom ring Rodgers had designed for Fletcher.
That same day, the sports commentator was in Charlotte, North Carolina for work, but said he was planning to fly to Nashville later in the evening to pick up the ring — all without Fletcher, who was in Los Angeles, knowing a single thing.
“I had to tell a little (HUGE) white lie to JoJo that I was going to be in studio until midnight (when really I was flying to Nashville at 10pm without her knowing to pick up the ring),” he explained.
“I took off at 2:30am all the while praying JoJo didn’t FaceTime or call me because I wouldn’t be able to answer in an airport or on the plane & that would seem SUPER shady,” he recalled in the post.

Running on no sleep, Rodgers finally made his way back Fletcher without ruining the surprise and the pair headed out to look at the wedding venue, where he was planning to re-propose.
Unfortunately, the former NFL player admitted that he hadn’t seen the place in person and the woman who he had originally told about the proposal “bailed last minute,” leaving him with a random employee to take the couple on their walk-through.
Finishing his sweet post, Rodgers thanked his friend Ryan Lipman for getting the ring and “letting me stomp through your house while you were sleeping at 4am trying to find it in the dark,” as well asRing Conciergefor helping him co-design the unique “Whisper Thin Oval Ring.”
“And big shout out to that random lady that probably was so confused when I started my proposal but figured she better film it…you’re the real MVP!!! 😂” he added. “@joelle_fletcher I LOVE YOU 😍.”
The couple first announced that Rodgers hadpopped the question againon Aug. 25, sharing photos on their respective Instagrams of Fletcher’s new ring.
Added Rodgers in his post: “I always wanted to re-propose, with no cameras, no producers, no drama … just us. Our first engagement was so real, and meant so much to us both, but as we start to actually plan our wedding for next year I wanted to do it all over again, OUR WAY!”
