Chances are slim, but not impossible. So, who are the lucky couples? Keep reading to find out.
Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney (Season 13)
Although Jason and Molly did not get engaged during a Bachelor finale, we're going to include them because their 12-year marriage is pretty inspiring. Not only did Jason dump his first pick and fan favorite, Melissa Rycroft, for Molly on live TV, but the couple tied the knot on national television in 2010, too.
Today, Jason and Molly are the proud parents of their daughter, Riley Ann, and Jason's oldest son, Ty.
Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici (Season 17)
Sean and Catherine have not only beaten the odds and stayed together since getting engaged in 2013, but the couple is now the proud parents of three kids — Samuel, Isaiah, and Mia — and have started a few successful businesses together as well.
And if you're not following Sean on Twitter, you are seriously missing out.
Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham (Season 22)
Just like Jason Mesnick, Arie also dumped his first pick — Becca Kufrin — and went back with runner-up, Lauren.
So far, it seems that Arie made the right decision. Not only did Ari and Lauren tie the knot in 2019, but they also welcomed daughter Alessi just a few months after their Hawaiian nuptials. In June 2021, Lauren gave birth to twins Lux and Senna.
Don't feel too bad for Becca, though. She found love with Thomas Jacobs on Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise.
Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell (Season 25)
During the Season 25 finale, Matt James did not propose to Rachael Kirkconnell. Instead, the two began a dating relationship off-screen.
However, Matt revealed on After the Final Rose that he ended their relationship after Rachael's racially insensitive social media posts came to light. Nevertheless, the pair reconciled in April 2021, and their romance continues to flourish today.
How many 'Bachelorette' couples are still together?
But what about The Bachelorette? How many of those couples are still together? The number is the exact same; however, at just four couples out of 18 completed seasons, the percentage of couples that are still together is slightly higher. As of this writing, The Bachelorette boasts a 22 percent success rate compared to The Bachelor's 15 percent.
So, who are these successful couples? Keep scrolling to find out!
Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter (Season 1)
