Twenty-one years, five spinoffs and 60 seasons later, The Bachelor franchise is still going strong, but how about its couples?
While many Bachelor franchise couples don’t last, there are still 27 Bachelor Nation couples that met on the various franchise shows – The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise – still together, whether dating, engaged or married.
