All the Bachelor Couples Still Together Today
Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter
Trista Rehn was the very first Bachelorette back in 2003 and set quite a precedent—she and her final pick, Ryan Sutter, are still together today. Rehn first appeared on Season 1 of The Bachelor, starring Alex Michel, where she left as the runner-up. The former Miami Heat dancer was selected to spearhead the first season of the spin-off series, where she fell in love with Sutter, a firefighter and former football player. He accepted her final rose, and the two were married in a televised wedding that amassed over 26 million viewers. Today, the couple resides in Colorado with their kids, Maxwell and Blakesley.
Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney
Of all the dramatic seasons in Bachelor history, Jason Mesnick's tops them all. The realtor appeared first on DeAnna Pappas' Bachelorette season, where he proposed during the final rose ceremony. Pappas ultimately declined, which led to his selection as the next Bachelor in 2009. He originally got engaged to Melissa Rycroft, sending runner-up Molly Malaney home. But during the After The Final Rose special, he revealed he changed his mind and ended his engagement—on live television, that is. Minutes later, Malaney joined Mesnick on stage where he confessed his love to her and asked for a second chance, which she granted. The two dated for a few months before Mesnick proposed on a vacation in New Zealand, which Malaney happily accepted. Their February 2010 wedding was televised during a two-hour special on ABC. They're still together today, and they live in Washington with their two kids: Ty, Mesnick's son from a previous marriage, and Riley.

Holly Durst and Blake Julian
Contestants Holly Durst and Blake Julian got their start in the Bachelor franchise on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, respectively. Their paths crossed on Season 2 of Bachelor Pad, a spin-off that took place inside the Bachelor Mansion where contestants competed in various challenges while going on dates with each other in hopes of finding love and winning a cash prize. Durst won the season with Michael Stagliano, but the pair broke off their engagement before the finale taping. She went on to marry Julian in 2012, who was eliminated during the fifth week of their season. They're still together today, and after a years-long battle with infertility, they adopted daughter Poppy in 2019.
Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici
After his shocking rejection by Bachelorette Emily Maynard, fan-favorite Sean Lowe landed the coveted Bachelor role for the 17th season in 2013. One the first night of the season, 26 women arrived at Bachelor Mansion (as opposed to the usual 25), but it was ultimately Catherine Giudici who won the Bachelor's heart. Lowe proposed to his love on the season finale in Thailand, and they were married one year later during a televised wedding special. Today, they reside in Dallas and have since welcomed three children together: Samuel, Isaiah, and Mia Mejia. Given their Bachelor success story, the two frequently appeared on later seasons to give advice to fellow hopefuls looking for love. And in a fun TV special, they once starred on Celebrity Wife Swap with their Bach friends Jason and Molly.
Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried
Desiree Hartsock first appeared on the Bachelor scene during Sean Lowe's season, though she was eliminated during the eighth week. The bridal stylist was beloved by fans, and she was later named the next Bachelorette. Contestant Chris Siegfried was not one of the six men who received a first impression rose on the first night, but he ultimately popped the question during the season finale—and Hartsock happily accepted. Today, they remain married in Seattle with their sons, Asher and Zander.
Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert
Which Bachelor in Paradise couples are still together? We can't forget Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert, the very first success story to come from the tropical spin-off. Roper first competed on Chris Soules' Bachelor season, while Tolbert appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe's. They met on the sandy beaches of Mexico and quickly fell in love—by the finale, Tolbert popped the question, thus earning their BiP royalty status. (Many contestants who try their hand at a second shot of love on the series reference these two as their inspiration.) Their 2016 wedding was documented on a special episode of The Bachelor, and today they have three kids: Emerson, Brooks and Reed.
JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers
It was love at first sight for Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers. (No, really: Rodgers received the first impression rose on night one, and the rest was history.) Their ultra-romantic proposal took place on the sandy beaches of Phuket, Thailand, securing their spot as one of the most adored Bachelor couples that's still together. Although their six-year engagement was never intended to be so long, as they had to postpone their wedding plans multiple times due to the coronavirus pandemic, it gave them plenty of time to perfect their wedding details (like their ultra-personalized registry and custom invites on The Knot). They finally got married on May 14, 2022, at a winery in Southern California, and gave The Knot an inside look at their big day—see their exclusive wedding photos here. "I don't know if there's anything that could be thrown our way that we can't work through," Fletcher exclusively told us ahead of their wedding. "Six years taught us a lot, and we feel so at peace and prepared—and we're so excited to be married."
Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham
In a dramatic season finale that resembled Jason Mesnick's, Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham had an unexpected start to their romance. He first proposed to Becca Kufrin. But after changing his mind—and saying he was still in love with runner-up Lauren Burnham—he ended their relationship in an emotional on-camera breakup. The couple rekindled their romance off-camera, and Luyendyk proposed during the After the Final Rose special. They got married twice: first, at a romantic Hawaiian ceremony, and later at a Vegas vow renewal after the birth of their daughter, Alessi. Since then, they've also welcomed twins Lux and Senna and renewed their vows a third time in Aurba in August 2023.
Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk
Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk are another Bachelor in Paradise couple still together today. They met while filming Season 4 of BiP, and while they were a strong pairing by the time the season wrapped, Gottschalk didn't propose. (They revealed that, because they were living in separate cities, they wanted time for their relationship to grow off-camera.) They got engaged two years later, when Gottschalk popped the question on a rooftop in Dallas. After multiple wedding postponements due to the pandemic, the pair tied the knot in April 2021. In January 2022, they welcomed their first son together, Gates. Their second child, Max, was born in July 2023.
Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon
Yes, it's true: Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon are happily married today, despite a rocky start to their relationship. Iaconetti, who first appeared on Chris Soules' Bachelor season, had her sights set on Haibon when they arrived in Mexico for Bachelor in Paradise Season 2. Haibon, an alum of Kaitlyn Bristowe's season, didn't return Iaconetti's romantic feelings, and they went their separate ways. They found themselves in a similar situation the following season, which prompted plenty of memorable (yet tearful) confessional interviews by Iaconetti.
After another failed attempt at romance with Haibon, she appeared on The Bachelor Winter Games, which she won with then-boyfriend Kevin Wendt. They later broke up, and a love letter sent by Haibon ignited their romance. They got engaged in June 2018 while filming the 5th season of BiP, and their Rhode Island wedding took place one year later. In January 2022, they announced the birth of their son, Dawson. The couple announced that they were expecting their second child in January 2024.
Kevin Wendt and Astrid Loch
Kevin Wendt is a familiar face in the Bachelor franchise. The Canadian firefighter won season 1 of The Bachelorette Canada after proposing to Jasmine Lorimer, though the two split a few months after the finale. He then had a stint on Bachelor Winter Games where he began dating Ashley Iaconetti. Their relationship quickly ended when Iaconetti moved on with Jared Haibon, prompting Wendt to search for love once again on Bachelor in Paradise Season 5. While there, he struck up a romance with Astrid Loch, who originally appeared on Nick Viall's Bachelor season.
Despite breaking up before the season ended, they reconnected off-camera and began dating once again. Wendt proposed in his native Canada in August 2019, and amid a few wedding postponements due to the pandemic, they welcomed son August in November 2021. Their second child, Nash, was born in October 2023.
Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes
Like many other Bachelor in Paradise couples still together, Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes found love on the beaches of Mexico. Unglert first appeared on the fourth season of BiP, though he quit a few weeks into taping. After a short time on Bachelor Winter Games, he once again returned to BiP Season 6, where he met Miller-Keyes. Their connection was quick and undeniable, but Unglert once again quit the show three weeks in. He returned during the fifth week and asked Miller-Keyes to leave with him so they could pursue their relationship in real life. She agreed, and they began traveling across the country in Unglert's infamous van.

The couple made quite a few headlines regarding their stance on marriage, often saying an engagement or wedding wasn't in their future. But, at long last, the couple got married in Colorado on September 23, 2023. Ahead of the nuptials, Miller-Keyes told The Knot she envisioned a "quiet luxury" aesthetic, saying, "I want to look back at our photos and think they're timeless and classic."
Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour
Yet another couple to find love in paradise, Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour are still going strong today. Like many others, though, the beginning of their story wasn't without drama. Godwin found herself in a love triangle with Barbour and Blake Horstmann. After a few emotional weeks, Godwin chose Barbour and they ended their time on BiP with an oceanside proposal. They bought a house in San Diego while planning their nuptials, which were postponed a few times due to the pandemic. The two swapped vows in Paris on August 23, 2023, and told The Knot it was the "party of the decade."
Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell

Matt James—a close friend of Bachelorette fan-favorite Tyler Cameron—made history as the first Black male Bachelor in franchise history. His season, which took place at Nemacolin resort in Pennsylvania amid the pandemic, wasn't without controversy. While the show was airing, photos leaked of contestant Rachael Kirkconnell participating in racially-insensitive activities (like attending an Antebellum-themed party in college). Although James didn't propose to Kirkconnell, they did end the season in a relationship.
During the After the Final Rose special, he revealed that he broke things off once the photos surfaced online. Kirkconnell, for her part, apologized for her actions and has since used her social media platform to amplify anti-racism resources and share her learnings. She and James have since rekindled their romance, and in January 2022 they returned to Nemacolin to celebrate their relationship one year later.
Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs
Like some of her predecessors, Bachelorette Becca Kufrin's love story began after her season ended. Following a short-lived engagement to Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr., she landed her own season where she got engaged to Garrett Yrigoyen. Their two-year romance ended in September 2020, prompting Kufrin to return to the franchise via Bachelor in Paradise Season 7. While there, she struck up a connection with Thomas Jacobs, who first appeared on Katie Thurston's Bachelorette season. Despite their chemistry on the show, they broke up during the finale…only to start dating again a few weeks later.
In May 2022, the couple nearly broke the internet when they announced their engagement—and the fact that Kufrin proposed to Jacobs. "The ultimate UNO reverse card / power move," he wrote on Instagram. "You keeping me on my toes for a lifetime has a great ring to it. Cheers to forever Boops." Their first child together, son Benson, was born on September 21, 2023.
Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar

Introducing the newest Bachelor couple still together: Zach and Kaity. Although Kaity Biggar didn't receive Bachelor Zach Shallcross' first impression rose, their chemistry was palpable from the very beginning. Three weeks into his season, which aired in early 2023, the 27-year-old travel nurse secured a one-on-one date that ultimately turned into an overnight date—well before the infamous fantasy suite week, that is. Following their night spent at a museum, Kaity became an early fan favorite. The couple's connection took them all the way to the finale set in the tropical province of Krabi, Thailand, but things weren't exactly smooth sailing.
The couple endured a slight hiccup during the fantasy suite week when Zach told Kaity intimate details about his other relationships. Despite an emotional argument in a rainy forest, Zach Shallcross proposed to Kaity with a massive diamond engagement ring from Neil Lane, which she happily accepted. On the live After the Final Rose finale special, the couple confirmed that they're still together and have their sights set on a 2025 wedding.
Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt
Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt's Bachelor in Paradise love story is one that contestants dream about. The two met on the beach during Season 7, and they hit it off from the start. Amabile, affectionately known by fans as "Grocery Store Joe," proposed on the final episode and Pitt happily accepted. After dating long-distance for a few months, they moved in together in New York City. They got married at a courthouse in October 2022, and later hosted a sequel ceremony in Charleston on September 2, 2023.
Kenny Braasch and Mari Pepin
From the very first episode of Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Kenny Braasch and Mari Pepin were locked in on each other. Despite a brief hiccup, Braasch popped the question during the finale, telling Pepin, "It took me 40 years to find the love of my life, and it's worth the wait." Their first wedding took place at the spot where it all began: on the BiP beach! The intimate nuptials were documented on Season 9 of the show. The happy couple did it all again on November 11, 2023, in front of 65 guests in Puerto Rico.
Abigail Heringer and Noah Erb
Yet another successful couple from Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Abigail Heringer and Noah Erb became fan favorites from the start. After earning the first one-on-one date, their connection was obvious. In fact, their castmates voted them "Most Likely To Live Happily Ever After" during the season's prom episode. Sadly, that very night the couple split and left the beach separately. But after filming wrapped, Heringer and Erb reconnected and began dating again. On August 8, 2023, Erb proposed at their home in California. "She had no clue the engagement was happening until we walked up the stairs to the rooftop and saw the roses and candles overlooking the ocean," he told People.
Anna Redman and Chris Bukowski
If you're a longtime Bachelor viewer, you know Chris Bukowski. The Chicago native appeared on Emily Maynard's season of The Bachelorette, as well as Season 3 of Bachelor Pad and three seasons of Bachelor in Paradise. Although his televised attempts at finding love were unsuccessful, he found love off camera with Anna Redman, who appeared on Matt James' season. The two announced their relationship in May 2022 and are happily together today.
Charity Lawson and Dotun Olubeko
Bachelorette Charity Lawson got her happy ending! The child-and-family therapist accepted a proposal from Dotun Olubeko on the finale of her season, and the two are excitedly preparing for their future. Olubeko was a constant fixture in the audience while Lawson competed on Dancing With the Stars in the fall of 2023, and the to-be-weds are toying with the idea of hosting a destination wedding in Nigeria.

The surprise proposal we mentioned above? That would be Brayden Bowers and Christina Mandrell. During Gerry and Theresa's cocktail hour, Brayden, who appeared on the most recent season of Bachelor in Paradise, proposed to Christina (who appeared on Zach Shallcross' Bachelor season). While talking to host Jesse Palmer on live TV, Brayden said, "Christina, from the moment that I picked you up from the airport with your crazy ass rose and your fake disguise, I just knew that there was something special and there was something different."
He continued, "And I have no doubts that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. And like Gerry said, it's like, you know, we have such little time and ... I just know that I want to spend the rest of my days with you." He got down on one knee and presented her with a Neil Lane engagement ring, which she happily accepted while screaming, "This is why we got our nails done?"

Susie Evans and Justin Glaze one of the newest Bachelor couples to confirm their romance. After months of teasing the status of their situationship, the duo confirmed that they are indeed dating in an interview with E! News on January 24, 2024. "Justin is my boyfriend," she told the outlet. "We're dating." You might recall Susie as the "winner" of Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor in 2021. After finding out he had been intimate with the remaining women during the Fantasy Suite week, Susie self-eliminated from the show. They reconnected off-camera and began dating again, but officially called it quits in December 2022. Justin, meanwhile, was the runner-up on Katie Thurston's Bachelorette season and had a short stint on Bachelor in Paradise.
After a friendly start to Justin Glaze and Susie Evans' relationship, things turned romantic in October 2023. Now, they're excited to share their love story with the world. "She's always just so understanding and kind, and she's a huge empath," Justin told E! News. "She's kind of taught me how to step back, and just communicate, and slow things down, and see things from a totally different angle, which is something that I probably needed."
Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson

Joey Graziadei's Bachelor season ended with one of our favorite franchise proposals...well, ever. The 28-year-old tennis pro proposed to Kelsey Anderson in Tulum, Mexico, during the final episode, which wasn't without twists and turns. In an unprecedented move, runner-up Daisy Kent spoke to Anderson before the engagement, opening up about her feeling that she wasn't his final pick. The two women arrived to the proposal scene together, and Anderson consoled her friend after she self-eliminated.
Joey and Kelsey's engagement was full of emotion, as he finally opened up about his true feelings for her. "I knew early on there was something different about you. And I just wanted to learn more. Everything we do, we just enjoy each other. I can't wait another minute to tell you I love you," he said before getting on a bent knee. "I have known for a while that I wanted a beautiful life, but I didn't know how beautiful it could be until I met you."
The couple confirmed they're still going strong on the After the Final Rose special, with Graziadei telling host Jesse Palmer he made the right decision. "She is a light. I don't know how I'm going to have a boring day of life with her by my side," he raved.
