'The Bachelor' 'Bachelorette' Couples: Who's Still Together?

Whenever we break into a new Bachelor or Bachelorette season, we always hope the final two will be one of the lucky couples that make it down the aisle and beyond. But, of course, longtime Bachelor and Bachelorette viewers know that a forever kind of love story isn't always guaranteed. Each season is expected to end with a proposal, but how many of those Bachelor and Bachelorette couples are still together?
The success rate of these relationships is low — but not as low as you might think. Between The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise, there are quite a few couples still happily together to this day. If you are really cynical about it, that might have something to do with the incentives in place for Bachelor couples to stay together — like the two-year marker that guarantees they get to hang to their Neil Lane engagement rings, or the promise of a fully funded, on-air wedding to score even more reality fame, an option taken by couples like Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, or Tanner Tolbert and Jade Roper.
But many couples genuinely credit the franchise for helping them find their person and have even started families with their Bachelor soulmate. Catherine Giudici and Sean Lowe, Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham, and more have all welcomed Bachelor Nation babies. These couples often return to the franchise to encourage the current contestants that it is possible to find lasting love on the show, even if you have to try more than once.
In the end, it's still a small percentage of these relationships that work out. But hey! Dating is tricky however you do it, and we're just happy these couples found each other.
A version of this story was originally published in 2020.
Though this couple didn't come together on TV, they sure do make a TV-worthy match. In March of 2022, Anna Redman from Matt James' season and Chris Bukowski from Emily Maynard's season announced they were dating on social media. Since then, the two moved in together and even adopted a dog. So cute!

But despite still being together, Charity revealed to Us Weekly they've paused wedding planning, at least for now.
'We've taken a pause on it and I'm totally fine announcing that. I feel like people ask all the time, 'How's wedding planning? Or where are we at?'' she told the outlet. 'For me, I got in this space where I just felt this constant pressure of, like, I need to check off something every month or every week. And it got to the point where I'm like, 'I don't wanna do that right now.' I'm also still just easing into life and normalcy again. Obviously, we're still getting married. We're taking a moment, taking a beat.'

'The important part is actually finding a person that you want to spend the rest of your life with and that you get along so well with,' Mari told People after their wedding.
