Former real estate broker and "Bachelorette" DeAnna Pappas from Newnan has found a new beau: Stephen Stagliano.

Today, on Twitter, she confirmed her engagement to him weeks after rumors began percolating about the engagement, which occurred Memorial Day weekend. (She also shows off the ring on her Facebook profile photo on the left.)

"You can get all the details in the Us Weekly mag that hit stands today," she Tweeted.

She responded to congratulations: "I am truly touched by every1's kind words!! I wish I had more time to reply to you all! I'm flipping through bridal magazines as we speak!!"

And how about this for strange? Stagliano is not a "Bachelor" cast member but he is the twin brother of one, Michael.

Pappas also mentioned it would be a double wedding with Stagliano's twin brother and his fiance, another "Bachelor" alum Holly Durst. This concept is being shopped around as a reality show. (It sure saves money if a TV production company pays for your wedding!)

DeAnna was originally rejected by Brad Womack season 11 in 2007 but was cast as "The Bachelorette" in 2008. She chose goofy snowboarder Jesse Csincsak, but broke up with him late that year. One gossip website says Jesse used to date... Holly Durst.

The "Bachelor" is an odd, incestuous world, eh?
