What Couples are Still Together from The Bachelor
Season one's bachelor Alex Marshall chose Amanda Marsh in the final episode. Alex was unsure about this decision and the couple broke up because he kept in touch with Trista Rehn, runner-up, to the breaking point. Rehn went on to find love in the first season of The Bachelorette.
Season two's Aaron Buerge picked Helene Eksterowicz. Buerge showed his love for her by paying for her engagement ring himself. The couple called it quits soon after the show and the ring was sold on eBay.
Following, season three's heir to the Firestone fortune, Andrew Firestone selected Jen Schefft. Firestone was reluctant to commit and the two split shortly following the finale.
Trista Rehn's reject, Bob Guiney, from The Bachelorette, got his time to shine in season four of The Bachelor. He chose Estella Gardinier as his lady. He did not propose, but instead used his fame from the show to forward his music career. The two ended their relationship.
In a quite unromantic season of them all, season five's former Giants back-up quarterback Jesse Palmer chose beautiful Jessica Bowlin. Instead of offering the woman a ring, he offered her a plan ticket. The couple did not last, no surprise there.
Season six is the first reported lasting relationship. Byron Velvick selected Mary Delgado. Delgado was arrested on domestic battery charge for punching Velvick in the face in 2007. Amazingly, the couple still carried on their wedding in 2008.
Season seven's couple, Charlie O'Connell and Sarah Brice, was mostly drama-free in their break-up. There are conflicting reports floating around, but it is believed that this couple has split up.
The Bachelor Paris's couple from season eight, ER doctor Travis Stork gave his final rose to kindergarten teacher Sarah Stone. They were both from Nashville, TN and, in fact, lived a few blocks away from each other. Unfortunately, their relationship did not last. Because they could not see each other until the last episode of The Bachelor airs, they blamed their break up on ABC. "We thought it was going to be this great relationship, but... over time, when you're not allowed to see someone, you grow apart. Had Sarah and I dated under 'normal' conditions, it definitely would have worked out," Stork said in an interview with TV Guide.
Lorenzo Borghese from The Bachelor season nine is another story. He gave his final rose to Jennifer Wilson. However, they too did not last. It is rumored that Borghese is now dating Sadie Murry, the rejected finalist.
Season ten's Navy Lieutenant Andy Baldwin chose Tessa Horst after telling runner-up, Bevan, that she was the one. Baldwin proposed to Horst, but the couple postponed the engagement. It has been reported that they are no longer together.
Season eleven left final contestants Deanna and Jenni in tears. Brad Womack said he was in love with both beautiful women. After telling Jenni good-bye, the audience was lead to believe the ring in his jacket was for Deanna. Womack requested that the show's producers fly Deanna's father in for the finale. In the end, Womack told Deanna he wasn't in love with her enough to marry her.
Season twelve's Matt Grant chose Shayne Lamas. He proposed and the two moved in together. Grant apparently got cold feet and moved to an apartment of his own. They ended their relationship in July of 2008.
Justifiably or not, Jason Mesnick, from the latest season, lucky number thirteen, will always be remembered as the man who pulled the switcheroo on the "After the Final Rose" special of The Bachelor. After breaking it off with Melissa Rycroft, 25, a former Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, Mesnick proceeds to ask runner-up, Molly Malaney, 24, for another chance. Meanwhile, Rycroft just announced her engagement with Tye Strickland, an insurance agent.
It seems that love hasn't been too kind to the bachelors so far, but that doesn't mean things can't change in season fourteen. Want to take part in the drama? The search is on for the next Bachelor. Do you have the looks, the charm, and the winning personality to find true love on the next season?
