Then And Now: Where Are 'The Bachelor' Couples Now?

Season 1: Alex And Amanda


After 21 seasons on the air, The Bachelor is one of the most successful television shows of all time. After all of these seasons, we've seen both love, heartbreak and everything in between. Some may be obvious but where some of the couples are now may be quite the surprise. Check out our gallery to see some of the most unexpecting Bachelor couples to date.


At the finale of season 1, Alex didn't propose to Amanda. They just dated for a few months, then broke up. Nowadays, Alex is in a serious relationship, but not married, and working as a spokesman for Match.com and Amanda is married to her childhood friend, and they have a daughter together.

Season 2: Aaron and Helene


Aaron proposed to Helene on the finale of season 2, but the couple broke up pretty fairly quickly after. In 2009, Aaron eventually got married to a woman he met in his hometown. The two now have a daughter together, and his wife has one daughter from a previous relationship.

Also, In 2013, Helene eventually got married to a tech consultant.

Season 3: Andrew and Jen


Andrew proposed to Jen at the finale of season 3, but unfortunately, they split a few months later.
After their split, Andrew, who is the heir to the Firestone fortune, married model Ivana Bozilovic in 2008.

She would eventually marry a businessman in 2009 and have two kids.
