The Denver couple chatted with Entertainment Tonight earlier this month to let fans know that life off-camera has been happier than what viewers saw in that final episode.

"A lot of people have been asking, 'Has life slowed down?' It hasn't really slowed down (but) we both feel a lot less stressed," Bushnell, 27, revealed.

She added, "I feel like we're living life, enjoying, traveling just as much, but there's a lot less stress. We've adapted to this new lifestyle. We've learned a lot about each other — what to do, what not to do, what makes each other mad, what makes each other happy."

Bushnell said she and Higgins were "in a solid place."

"Things are going well. I feel like we're in a really good place," she said. "We're having fun."
