Just five weeks after The Bachelor ended on Nov. 20, Eksterowicz says she was unceremoniously dumped at a Starbucks near her one-bedroom apartment in Haddonfield, N.J. As Buerge prepared to catch a flight back to his home in Springfield, Mo., Eksterowicz says he told her that he was no longer “emotionally invested” in their relationship. [1]

Buerge, the 28-year-old bank vice president from Springfield, Missouri, popped the question to 27-year-old Eksterowicz in the second season finale of ABC’s hit reality show, minutes after dismissing potential missus Brooke Smith, a 22-year-old college student who many had considered the odds-on favorite to “win” a betrothal. [4]

In front of 26 million viewers, she received a marriage proposal and a 2-carat engagement ring from dashing blond banker Aaron Buerge. [1]

The 2.75-carat Harry Winston diamond and platinum ring that Buerge presented to Eksterowicz during the 2002 season finale is up for auction on eBay (www.ebay.com/ring). [2]

Obligated to keep their engagement a secret for two months until the finale aired, Buerge and Eksterowicz, both 28, “tried to talk every day on the phone, but it was hard,” she says. [1]

Appearing on The View Thursday, Buerge said he and Helene were planning a “lengthy engagement” and have not set a wedding date. [4]

Matt gave Shayne the last rose and an engagement ring, and since then, they’ve been living happily… The happy ending that was The Bachelor’s season 12 saw Matt Grant picking celebrity daughter Shayne Lamas over pharmaceutical sales representative, Chelsea Wanstrath. [5]

The sale package accompanying the costly rock includes a meet-and-greet with Helene and Aaron in New York City, as well as T-shirts and shot glasses from Trolley’s Grille, Buerge’s restaurant. [2]

And about those viewers, Nielsen says 25.9 million tuned in for the two-hour show, which opened with a bare-chested Aaron making coffee in his swanky bachelor loft before whisking both Eksterowicz and Smith on identical dates to meet his ‘rents. [4]
