Angela Amezcua had an inkling that the third time was going to be the charm.

The 32-year-old model from South Carolina had already tried unsuccessfully to find love on “The Bachelor” and “Bachelor in Paradise,” and “honestly, I was done with the dating shows,” she said on the phone last week.

Then the producers of “Bachelor in Paradise Canada” called and “I just had this feeling … something was like ‘You need to do this.’ I (didn’t) know what was going to come from it, but I can say that I’m definitely glad that I did.”

Joining Amezcua on the call was her boyfriend, Brendan Morgan. She met the 30-year-old Edmonton football player turned yoga instructor while filming the Canadian show in June.

They were the only couple to emerge intact after several weeks of shooting and while they didn’t get engaged — usually the end goal of a “Paradise” season — they signed a lease in the fall on their first home together in Toronto.

“Bachelor in Paradise” is a popular spinoff of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette.” Whereas those shows are about one man or woman simultaneously dating multiple people, “Paradise” throws together past cast members on a beach in Mexico for several weeks in search of lasting love. New cast members are added every week and the numbers of men and women kept uneven to raise the stakes.

The Canadian version took place at a top secret, lakeside spot in Ontario, and its 27 cast members were a mix of American and Canadian “Bachelor” show alumni and newbies who were fans of the franchise. It has already been renewed for a second season.

In the Season 1 finale on Sunday, viewers watched as two of the three couples who made it to the end imploded, unable to make their romances work outside the “Paradise” bubble.

Angela Amezcua Gushes Over Brendan Morgan, Reveals Why Didn’t Get Engaged on ‘BiP Canada’

“I took the meetings and honestly, my meeting with BiP Canada production was such a great meeting and I felt like they understood what I was hoping [for]. Every single [time] go into one of these, I’m looking for my person. I told them, like, if you are looking for somebody who is gonna be wanting drama and stirring the pot, don’t cast me.”

“That was always my thing with the U.S. I never really got, I feel, like a fair shot because I’m normal. I’m boring, like, oh God forbid I wanna go in there and find somebody,” Angela quipped. “So they were like, ‘No, Canadian viewers, they really want the love story.’ And they asked me what I’m looking for, like, down to personality traits, who’s my ideal [guy] looks-wise.”

“I was not disappointed at all that we didn’t get engaged. Brendan and I, we had talked about it before especially during fantasy suite and we were very much on the same page,” she explained. “I take [an] engagement very, very seriously. I wanna get engaged once in my life. That’s a special moment [that] I’ve literally been waiting my whole life for and I don’t want it — I don’t wanna say, like, to be wasted [but] we wanted to be 1 trillion percent sure that we are gonna be together forever if we do this.
