All the Bachelor Nation couples who are still together

Twenty-three years, five spinoffs, and 60 seasons of television — that's the Bachelor franchise in a nutshell. Though most of the engagements on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise don't last, there are currently 30 Bachelor Nation couples — some married, some engaged, some still dating — who met on a Bachelor series or through the extended, incestuous network of fellow contestants.

From recent Bachelor sweethearts Joey and Kelsey to OG Bachelorette couple Trista and Ryan, these citizens of Bachelor Nation are keeping love alive.

01 of 30

Trista and Ryan Sutter

Of course the first marriage in the Bachelor franchise spawned from season 1 of The Bachelorette — because as we all know, women are much more decisive and steadfast when it comes to matters of the heart. (Don't @ me.) For Trista, a former Miami Heat dancer turned pediatric physical therapist, getting dumped by Alex Michel on The Bachelor turned out to be a blessing. Creator Mike Fleiss chose her to anchor the very first season of The Bachelorette, where she met her true love, a firefighter named Ryan Sutter. They married on TV in 2003 and have two children, Maxwell and Blakesley, who had a hilarious cameo on the season 23 premiere of The Bachelor in 2019.

Jason and Molly Mesnick

The heart wants what it wants, rose lovers — even if it means breaking up with your fiancée on live television so you can get back together with the woman you dumped in the finale. Which is exactly what Jason Mesnick, the first single-dad Bachelor, did on that fateful season 13 "After the Final Rose" episode back in 2009. Having dispatched former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Melissa Rycroft in an excruciatingly awkward fashion, Jason made his pitch to Molly Malaney: "I haven't been able to stop thinking about you." One year later they were married (on TV, of course), and today they live and work together in Washington state with their two children, Tyler (from Jason's first marriage) and Riley.

Ann Lueders and Jesse Csincsak

Bachelor Nation is an incestuous ecosystem, and plenty of people who were dumped on the show find love with fellow contestants off camera. Professional snowboarder Jesse Csincsak, whose engagement to season 4 Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas didn't last, met flight attendant Ann Lueders, from Mesnick's Bachelor season, in 2010, and they were married less than a month later. The duo now live in Arizona with their three children.

Holly and Blake Julian

Children's book author Holly Durst didn't make it too far on season 12 of The Bachelor, but she found love with Bachelorette season 5 contestant Michael Stagliano. Their engagement didn't last, but they managed to win Bachelor Pad season 2 as a couple. Unfortunately for Michael, Holly surprised him and the finale audience by announcing that she and fellow season 2 contestant Blake Julian were engaged. (Michael was, in a word, "blindsided.") Holly and Blake married in 2012 and live in South Carolina with their two children.

Peyton and Chris Lambton

She was dumped by Andy Baldwin in season 10 of The Bachelor; he made it all the way to the final two before getting the boot in season 6 of The Bachelorette. Then Chris Lambton, a landscaper, and Peyton Wright, a sorority recruiter, met through Bachelor Nation pals in 2010 — and the rest is happily-ever-after history. They wed in 2012 and made their way into the home-improvement universe, appearing on HGTV. Today they live on Cape Cod with their two children.

Sean and Catherine Lowe

Sean Lowe was a born-again virgin. Catherine Giudici was a no-nonsense graphic designer. They got a bit of a slow start on The Bachelor (Catherine didn't get a one-on-one date until episode 6!), but that only made the foundation of their relationship even more stable. They got married (also on TV, of course!) in 2014, and today live in Texas with their three children: Samuel, Isaiah, and Mia. Along with the Sutters, the Lowes currently reign as one of Bachelor Nation's most revered couples, and Sean is regularly called in to provide guidance for new Bachelors — most recently with Zach Shallcross.

Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried

I've gotta be honest, rose lovers — this one still baffles me. Anyone who watched Desiree Hartsock's sudden, tearful breakup with Brooks Forester during Fantasy Suites week in season 9 of The Bachelorette assumed that he was the one she wanted to marry. Des said it herself after Brooks left: "Honestly, for me, it's over." And yet… in the finale, she professed her love for mortgage broker Chris Siegfried and accepted his proposal. They were wed in 2015 (not on TV, if you can believe it) and today they live in Seattle with their two sons, Asher and Zander. Sing it with me now, rose lovers: Right reasons / Right reasons / They stayed together through all the four seasons!

JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers

THE BACHELORETTE - "After the Final Rose"- Emotions run high as JoJo sits down with Chris Harrison, live, to talk about her two final bachelors from this season - Jordan and Robby. She takes viewers back to those final days in exotic Phuket, Thailand, when she needed to make her life-changing decision. Both men return to sit with JoJo and discuss the shocking outcome of the show and their relationships. It's the unpredictable ending to JoJo's adventure to find true love on "The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose," MONDAY, AUGUST 1 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EDT).

And the award for longest engagement EVER goes to JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers, who got engaged way back in 2016 but didn't tie the actual knot until 2022 (thanks a lot, COVID-19!). They kept busy during that loooong wait, hosting two DIY-themed shows (Engaged With JoJo and Jordan and Cash Pad) and The Big D, a dating show that got canceled by TBS before it even premiered (and was subsequently picked up by USA Network). The two currently live in Puerto Rico.

They met cute on the beach in week one and stayed together for all of season 2. Jade Roper, a former model and cosmetics developer, and Tanner Tolbert, an auto finance manager, had a lavish TV wedding in 2016, becoming the first Bachelor in Paradise marriage. Since then the duo have been living that influencer-parent life (they have three kids, one of whom Jade delivered in her own closet!), though in 2020 they made headlines for their involvement in a DraftKings betting scandal.

Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk

The fourth season of Bachelor in Paradise was derailed after a producer raised concerns about an alleged sexual encounter between two very inebriated contestants. Production was shut down temporarily while Warner Bros., the studio that produces the Bachelor franchise, investigated the incident — and during that shutdown, season 4 contestants Raven, a boutique owner, and Adam, a real estate agent, hit it off at a bar in Dallas. The two continued their romance once back on the beach and got engaged two years after their season concluded. They married in 2021 and have two children.

Lauren and Arie Luyendyk

It was a big surprise when producers chose Arie Luyendyk Jr. — a guy who hadn't been on TV for five whole years — as the Bachelor for season 22 in 2018. But the bigger surprise came in the finale, when the race car driver pulled a Mesnick and dumped his fiancée, Becca Kufrin, for the runner-up, Lauren Burnham. Once again, however, this last-minute switch worked out swimmingly: Arie and Lauren got engaged on "After the Final Rose" and then married in 2019. Today they have three children (Alessi, and twins Lux and Senna), a dating app, a YouTube channel, and a pretty sweet house in Hawaii.

They had a rough time on the beach in Mexico, but Kevin, a Canadian firefighter, and Astrid Loch, a former plastic surgery office manager from Nick Viall's season of The Bachelor, mended fences on the live season 5 finale of Bachelor in Paradise. The two got engaged in 2019, had their first child in 2021, and made it official in 2022. Now living in Canada, Astrid and Kevin welcomed their second baby in 2023.

Jared and Ashley Haibon

The road to true love did not run smoothly for these two Bachelor Nation staples. They met on Paradise season 2, but Jared ultimately broke things off, which made Ashley cry. A lot. Both returned in season 3, and while Jared began dating Caila Quinn, freelance journalist Ashley Iaconetti stayed laser-focused on restaurant manager Jared. That season, too, ended with no happily-ever-after for either. But time heals all Paradise wounds, apparently: In 2018, three years after first meeting on the beaches in Mexico, Ashley and Jared announced that they were dating. They married in 2019 and welcomed a son, Dawson, in 2022. Today Ashley hosts a podcast with former Bachelor Ben Higgins, and Jared owns a coffeehouse in Rhode Island, where they live. In July 2024, the couple welcomed their second child, a son.

Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt

"Grocery Joe" got the boot on night one of The Bachelorette season 14, but viewers were so smitten that producers cast him on Bachelor in Paradise season 5. He and Kendall Long, a taxidermy enthusiast, broke up on the beach and got back together later — only to break up for good in 2020. Undaunted, Joe agreed to head to Paradise once again in 2021, where he immediately clicked with petite Canadian publicist Serena Pitt. This time Joe left the beach engaged, and he and Serena had a no-frills wedding in New York in 2022. The couple live in NYC and cohost the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast.

Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour

Pageant queen and model Hannah Godwin danced with the devil on Paradise — meaning she briefly dated toxic contestant Blake Horstmann — but she later came to her senses and committed to nice-guy tech entrepreneur Dylan Barbour. They left Mexico engaged and have been enjoying their lives as young gorgeous people. Currently, Hannah runs a lifestyle brand and Dylan works as a venture capitalist. They were married in a lavish ceremony in Condécourt, France, in 2023.

Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs

After being Mesnicked by Arie in season 22 of The Bachelor, Becca Kufrin did not give up on love. She and Thomas, a real estate broker who got the boot from Katie Thurston in season 17 of The Bachelorette, wound up together in Mexico during season 7 of Paradise. Though they broke up during the show, Becca and Thomas rekindled their flame off camera and ultimately got engaged in May 2022. (And she proposed to him!) The couple welcomed their first child, a boy, in September 2023, and married the following month.

Caelynn Miller-Keyes and Dean Unglert

You know it's true love if she's willing to live in your van. Dean Unglert dumped Caelynn Miller-Keyes on the beach in Paradise season 6 because their "lifestyles" weren't "compatible." A few weeks later, he returned and asked the former Miss North Carolina USA to leave Paradise with him — which she did, inexplicably. After traveling around the country in Dean's van, the two got engaged in 2022 and were married in 2023. Like so many Bachelor Nation alums, Dean and Caelynn currently host a podcast (along with fellow Paradise success story Jared Haibon).

Kenny Braasch and Mari Pepin

Mari Pepin arrived for season 7 of Paradise hoping to meet boy-band manager Kenny Braasch, and she wasn't even put off by the fact that he showed up "naked." They hit a rough patch (during which Mari destroyed a perfectly good birthday cake) but later reunited and had a grotesque taco date. They tied the knot in Puerto Rico in 2023.

Abigail Heringer and Noah Erb

Bachelor in Paradise fans were heartbroken when this season 7 couple broke up at the prom party. But once they left the beach, adorable client financial manager Abigail Heringer and super-chill traveling nurse Noah Erb got back together off camera. In March 2022, she relocated to Los Angeles to be near Noah, and in July 2023 they purchased a home in Tulsa. The couple got engaged in August 2023 and married in a Great Gatsby-themed wedding in October 2024.

Brayden Bowers and Christina Mandrell

His obnoxious antics made him public enemy No. 1 during Charity's season of The Bachelorette, and he also failed to find love on season 9 of Bachelor in Paradise. She irritated everyone by talking nonstop about her one-on-one date with Zach during season 27 of The Bachelor — and got sent home the next week. By the grace of the reality TV gods, these two somehow found each other off camera — but don't worry, they got engaged on live TV during Gerry and Theresa's Golden Wedding in January 2024. A year later, Brayden and Christina revealed that they eloped — and they have the video to prove it.

21 of 30

Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar

Even though the season 27 Bachelor completely screwed things up with ER nurse Kaity Biggar during Fantasy Suite week, she still said yes to his proposal in the March 2023 finale. Since then they've moved in together in Austin. In March, Kaity announced that she and Zach plan to wed in an "intimate" ceremony this year.

There wasn't a dry eye in Bachelor Nation when Charity Lawson, the 27-year-old child-and-family therapist from Georgia, accepted a proposal from Dotun Olubeko, the 30-year-old integrative-medicine specialist from Brooklyn. In 2023, the couple temporarily relocated to Los Angeles while Charity competed on Dancing With the Stars. "Luckily I can work remotely with everything I do," Dotun told Entertainment Weekly at the time. The duo currently live together in New York City and are taking their time with wedding planning.

Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei

Kelsey Anderson, a project manager from New Orleans, greeted Joey Graziadei with a cute little voodoo doll on the season 28 premiere of The Bachelor — but these two didn't need any help falling for each other. After getting engaged in Tulum, Mexico — during what truly was an "unprecedented" finale — Joey and Kelsey now live together in Los Angeles. In November 2024, they celebrated the first anniversary of their engagement.

Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple

From their first one-on-one at Disneyland to their Last Chance Date™ in Bora Bora, it was clear that Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos and Kansas-based insurance executive Chock Chapple only had eyes for each other. Now the two are excited to enjoy a long engagement as they build a life between her home in Maryland and his in Wichita. "I think for this first year at least, we're going to go back and forth between Kansas and Maryland, getting to know each other's friends and family," Joan told EW after the finale.

Juliana Pasquarosa and Grant Ellis

The heart wants what it wants — but sometimes, the heart takes a really long time to make a decision. That's what happened with season 29 Bachelor star Grant Ellis, who agonized over which of his final two women he wanted to pick — Juliana Pasquarosa, a 28-year-old from Boston, or Litia Garr, a 31-year-old from Utah — up until the last day. In the end, the 31-year-old day trader went with his heart and chose Juliana after falling in love with "her outlook on life and her character... and how she carries herself." As of March 2025, the two were planning to move to Boston together before jumping into wedding planning.

26 of 30

Chris Conran and Alana Milne

Though landscape design salesman Chris Conran was forming a "connection" with BIP season 7 contestant Jessenia, he dropped the social media marketer like a hot potato once Alana Milne arrived in episode 7. Like Brendan and Pieper before them, Chris and Alana became such Paradise outcasts they were forced to leave the show — but they stayed together. In March 2024, the couple announced their engagement.

27 of 30

Anna Redman and Chris Bukowski

Corporate sales dude Chris Bukowski appeared on five (yes, five!) different seasons of Bachelor spinoffs (The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad, and Bachelor in Paradise), but he still never managed to find love. As we've mentioned before, Bachelor Nation is an incestuous group, and he and Anna Redman, a copywriter who appeared on season 25 of The Bachelor, made their relationship Instagram-official in 2022. They currently live together in Chicago.

Jordan Chapman and Corinne Jones

These two gorgeous people — she was on Matt's season of The Bachelor, he was on Tayshia's season of The Bachelorette — have been dating since 2021 and announced their engagement in October 2024. Did we mention that they're gorgeous?

29 of 30

Olivia Miller and Mike Renner

She was (apparently) on Zach's season of The Bachelor. He was (apparently) on Becca's season of The Bachelorette. Don't worry, they know you don't recognize them: When Olivia made their relationship Instagram-official in the summer of 2023, she captioned the pics "The most irrelevant bachelor nation couple." A little more than a year later, Olivia and Mike got engaged in Nashville.

30 of 30

Brendan Morais and Serene Russell

When we last saw Brendan, he was fleeing the beaches of Bachelor in Paradise after it was revealed that he and Pieper James were already dating each other when they arrived. And when we last saw Serene, she was leaving Paradise with her fiancé, Brandon Jones. But both of those on-screen romances imploded. Cut to March 2025, when Brendan and Serene went Instagram official on their love story. Welp, let's hope Mr. Morais has done some learning and growing since his last Bachelor Nation relationship, because Serene is a queen who deserves the best.
