Every couple from ‘The Bachelor’ universe that’s still together

Lawson, who appeared on Shallcross’ season of “The Bachelor” earlier in the year, proved herself to be a steadying presence on a show usually filled with drama.

“The Bachelorette” viewers saw Olubeko and Lawson develop a strong relationship, grow as a couple, and eventually get engaged in Fiji.

“We’re not really trying to have a super incredibly 17-year length engagement,” Lawson told People following the finale. “We obviously came here to find love, and we have successfully done that.”

After a very dramatic final week as the lead, Shallcross — who originally appeared on Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey’s season of “The Bachelorette” in 2022 — got down on one knee in Thailand and proposed to Biggar during the finale, which aired in March 2023.

That month, Shallcross told People, “Right now, the main emphasis is living together in Austin, getting to know each other more and more, and just see how things go. There’s no rush.”

In July 2023, Biggar posted on Instagram that the two are “officially roommates” in Austin together.

Braasch and Pepin had a rocky time in “Paradise.”

After starting off strong, Pepin, who was on Matt James’ season in 2021, decided that she wanted to be able to date other people. Braasch, from Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams’ season in 2020, then started pursuing castmates Demi Burnett and Tia Booth.

However, Pepin soon decided she wanted Braasch back, and they got back together. He even proposed at the end of the season.

As People reported, the two got married in Puerto Rico in November 2023.

Heringer, from Matt James’ season in 2021, and Erb, from Tayshia Adams’ season in 2020, went on the first date of their season of “Paradise” and they were together for the entire season, with a few hiccups along the way.

In the penultimate episode of the season, Erb decided that he was simultaneously falling in love with Heringer and didn’t think she was “his person.” They left Mexico separately.

But like Kufrin and Jacobs, the two reconnected post-“Paradise,” which they confirmed during the reunion in October 2021.

The two announced on Instagram in August 2023 that they are engaged, accompanied by a caption with a reference to Taylor Swift’s song “Lover.”

While James’ season of “The Bachelor” was airing in 2021, fans found controversial social-media content that showed Kirkconnell attending a plantation-themed ball and shared it on Reddit.

The fallout led to the permanent exit of Chris Harrison; Rachel Lindsay leaving the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast, which she announced on the show; “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man” author Emmanuel Acho hosting “After the Final Rose”; and finally, the breakup of James and Kirkconnell.

Except, that breakup wasn’t permanent. In April 2021, James and Kirkconnell were spotted together in New York City. That same month, James told People that he’s “not pursuing any relationships right now outside” of Kirkconnell.

By May 2021, James and Kirkconnell had both confirmed to The Wall Street Journal that they are officially back together.

“I think it’s unfair to leave people without the ability to unlearn and be better,” he said of the decision to give her another chance.

When Unglert, who was on Rachel Lindsay’s season of “The Bachelorette” in 2017, left “Paradise” early, Miller-Keyes was devastated. But he returned to say he had made a mistake, and asked Miller-Keyes to leave Mexico with him to figure out their relationship.

This wasn’t a complete surprise, as E! News reported in July 2019 that the two were dating, but fans finally got to see how their relationship unfolded during an episode of “Bachelor in Paradise” that aired in September 2019.

Miller-Keyes, who made it to hometown dates on Colton Underwood’s season in 2018, left behind her rebound guy, Connor Saeli, from Hannah Brown’s season of “The Bachelorette” in 2019 to join Unglert in his much-discussed van.

In October 2022, a source told People that Unglert and Miller-Keyes were engaged. That month, Unglert also spoke about the proposal during an episode of his podcast with fellow “Bachelor” alum Jared Haibon. A few days later, Unglert confirmed the news on his Instagram.

They married in September 2023 at a Colorado mountain resort outside of Aspen and changed their last names to Bell, Unglert’s mother’s maiden name.

Luyendyk first appeared on the eighth season of “The Bachelorette” in 2012, competing for the love of Emily Maynard. He eventually became the runner-up.

In 2017, ABC made the surprising move to bring him back for the 22nd season of “The Bachelor,” where viewers watched him propose to Kufrin.

Soon after the proposal, however, Luyendyk decided he had made a mistake and contacted Burnham, the runner-up from his season, before breaking up with Kufrin while the cameras were rolling, making for a controversial moment in Bachelor Nation’s history.

Luyendyk and Burnham began their relationship anew, and he proposed to her on the live “After the Final Rose” special, which aired after the finale in March 2018.

They had a destination wedding in Hawaii in January 2019, People reported, and their daughter, Alessi, was born in May of that year.

They later welcomed twins Lux and Senna in June 2021.

After Fletcher, first seen on Ben Higgins’ season in 2016, sent Robby Hayes home, she accepted a proposal from Rodgers on the “The Bachelorette,” which aired later that year.

Years later, Fletcher and Rodgers are still together. In fact, in August 2019, Rodgers “re-proposed” to Fletcher, complete with a new ring, as Fletcher shared on Instagram. In May 2022, after six years together and two postponed wedding dates, Fletcher and Rodgers married at a California winery.

The couple also had a reality series on CNBC, “Cash Pad,” where they partnered with “homeowners hoping to turn their properties into ideal short-term rentals,” according to the network.

They also hosted the competition show, “Battle of the Fittest Couples” from October to December 2019 on the Paramount Network, and another competition show, “The Big D,” on USA from June to August 2023.

Tolbert was originally on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season, while Roper was on Chris Soules’ season of “The Bachelor,” both in 2015.

But now, “Janner,” as they’re known, are the gold standard for “Bachelor in Paradise” couples. They were the first in the spinoff’s history to get engaged and actually get married — there had been a few false starts with other couples — and they have been making it work ever since their finale aired in September 2015.

They had their issues — which were shown on their season of “Marriage Boot Camp” in 2016 — but they worked through them.

Their first daughter, Emerson, was born in August 2017. Their son, Brooks, was born in July 2019, after Roper gave birth in her closet, which she shared on Instagram. And in November 2020, they welcomed their third child, Reed.

In August 2023, Roper shared on Instagram that she was experiencing “a missed miscarriage,” and said her unborn son’s heart had stopped though her body hadn’t “released the pregnancy yet.”

“I’ve been carrying him with so much pride and cherish every moment still left with part of him, but it has also been equally as challenging and devastating,” she wrote.

Hartsock originally appeared on Sean Lowe’s season of “The Bachelor” in 2013, but she was sent home. Her season of “The Bachelorette” was especially controversial — she was broken up with by Brooks Forester during the second-to-last week of the show, who many considered to be the frontrunner. Some fans believed Hartsock was settling when she accepted Siegfried’s proposal back in August 2013.

Despite the controversy, Siegfried and Hartsock got married in January 2015. Their son, Asher, was born a year later. In July 2018, the couple told Us Weekly that they were expecting their second child, Zander. He was born in January 2019.

Also, in 2018, the couple appeared on “Marriage Boot Camp,” a show where couples confront the marital issues they’re facing. They decided to stay together and work on their relationship.

In May 2024, Siegfried announced she is pregnant with their third child, who is due in November.

Mesnick was originally on DeAnna Pappas’ season in 2008. He proposed to Rycroft, dumped her on “After the Final Rose,” and immediately asked Malaney if they could resume their relationship in March 2009, which they discussed during an interview with People that month.

Malaney and Mesnick were engaged later that year in October 2009, Mesnick confirmed to Us Weekly, and were married just a few months later.

Now, they’re one of the few “Bachelor” success stories, even if their love story didn’t start off in the most conventional way. They had their daughter Riley in 2013.

Things worked out for Rycroft, too. After the breakup, she reunited with her ex, Tye Strickland. They got married in 2009, and have three kids.

Bowers, of Lawson’s season, might have been eliminated from “Bachelor in Paradise” after failing to secure a rose, but he was still able to find love within the franchise.

During the finale of season nine of “Paradise,” which aired in December 2023, it was revealed that Bowers has been dating Mandrell, from Shallcross’ season, for the last few months.

“Beyond the cameras and reality show drama, Brayden (aka MY BOYFRIEND!) and I found something truly special,” Mandrell wrote on Instagram.

On the red carpet of the televised wedding of Turner and Nist in January, Bowers got down on one knee and proposed to Mandrell, who accepted, as seen on Instagram.

Chapman and Jones, from Clayshia’s season in 2020 and Matt James’ season in 2021, respectively, made their Instagram debut in September 2021.

It’s unclear how exactly they met since they never overlapped on our TV screens, but Bachelor Nation is well-connected.

Wright and Lambton were never part of the same show — Wright appeared on the 10th season of “The Bachelor” competing for Andy Baldwin’s heart in 2007, but was left behind on a two-on-one date. She later appeared on the first season of “Bachelor Pad.”

Lambton, on the other hand, made it all the way to the final two in Ali Fedotowsky’s season of  “The Bachelorette” in 2010, and even turned down the opportunity to be the next “Bachelor,” he told Boston.com.

The two didn’t find love on TV, but hit it off when they were introduced to each other by friends from the Bachelor Nation at a golf tournament in 2010, People reported in 2013.

They got married in May 2012 and have been together since.

“I’m so glad Andy Baldwin left me standing there on that aircraft carrier,” Wright told People ahead of the couple’s one-year anniversary in 2013. “I’m glad it didn’t go any further because it wouldn’t have worked out.”

They have two children: a daughter, Lyla, who was born in November 2016, and a son, Hayes, who was born in December 2018.

The couple hosted the HGTV show “Going Yard,” which ran for two seasons. They also collaborated with HSN on a furniture line called Chris and Peyton by Design.

Durr was eliminated after night one of Lorenzo Borghese’s season of “The Bachelor” in 2006, and Presser was eliminated after night one of Jillian Harris’ season of “The Bachelorette” in 2009.

According to People, they met through a private “Bachelor” alumni Facebook group in July 2009 and were engaged by February 2010. They were married later that year, in November, the St. Augustine Record reported at the time.

They have a son Warner and a daughter Ellery.
