What Couples are Still Together from The
Bachelor

Have you ever wondered what couples are still together from The Bachelor? The answers aren't encouraging. Get an update right here.

An updated version of the traditional matchmaker concept, ABC's reality show The Bachelor presents one very lucky single guy with 25 beautiful bachelorettes from which to choose his perfect mate. Each episode ends in a rose ceremony where the women who get to continue vying for the bachelor receive a rose and an invitation to stay a while longer. Anyone who doesn't receive a rose is eliminated and must go home.

In the final episode, the bachelor must choose between the two final women remaining. Sometimes this results in a proposal of marriage, other times the couple agrees to continue seeing each other and find out where the relationship leads.

You'd think that all of this passion and drama would result in at least a few lucky couples enjoying a happily ever after, but unfortunately that's not usually the case. Find out what couples are still together from The Bachelor so far.

This is the show that started it all. Bachelor Alex Marshall chose Amanda Marsh in the final episode. Interestingly, he passed over Trista Rehn who would later find true love in the first edition of The Bachelorette. Sadly, it seems Alex was unsure about his final decision, and his reported attempts to stay in touch with Rehn strained the relationship with Marshall to the breaking point.

Handsome Aaron Buerge picked bachelorette Helene Eksterowicz and won America's heart by paying for her diamond engagement ring himself. It seems that the fireworks were limited to the show because the couple called it quits shortly afterward and the ring was sold at auction on eBay. Such a cynical way to end a romance.

This edition saw Andrew Firestone, heir to the Firestone fortune, choose Jen Schefft for a longer test run. Firestone seemed reluctant to make a firm commitment and the two split shortly thereafter.

Charmingly goofy Bob Guiney, Trista Rehn's reject from The Bachelorette, got his time to shine and chose the elegant Estella Gardinier as his lady love. Guiney did not propose, but instead used his mileage from the show to forward his music career. Apparently Gardinier didn't want to play groupie to his rock star and the two ended the relationship.

In a decidedly unromantic finale, former Giants back-up quarterback Jesse Palmer chose beautiful Jessica Bowlin. However, instead of offering her a ring, Palmer presented Bowlin with a plane ticket. It comes as no surprise that this pairing also did not last.

Fisherman Byron Velvick selected Mary Delgado from the field of 25 in this edition. The couple has lasted longer than most of the others, but Delgado was reportedly arrested on a domestic battery charge for punching Velvick in the face in 2007. Amazingly, the couple still planned to carry on with a wedding in 2008. Stay tuned for updates.

Goodtime Charlie O'Connell, brother to actor Jerry O'Connell, singled out cutie Sarah Brice from the herd. There are conflicting reports floating around, but it seems that this couple may have finally split.

ER doc Travis Stork wound up with kindergarten teacher Sarah Stone in the season finale. However, a scant week after that finale aired, the couple held a news conference to reveal that they were no longer together. They cited the fact that they were obligated to remain apart during the four months between the show's wrap and final airing caused the romance to fizzle.

Prince Lorenzo Borghese morphed back into a frog after choosing Jennifer Wilson in season nine. Once their relationship ended, he reportedly tried to rekindle his interest in runner-up Sadie, but to no avail.

Navy Lieutenant Andy Baldwin surprised everyone with his choice of Tessa Horst in the season finale after all but telling runner-up Bevan that she would be the one. Baldwin proposed, but the couple wound up postponing the engagement while still remaining together. At last report, the two have gone their separate ways.

In what proved to be one of the more outrageous season finales, wealthy entreprenuer Brad Womack professed to be in love with both finalists Deanna and Jenni. After telling a tearful Jenni good-bye and contemplating the ring in his jacket after her departure, the audience was led to believe he'd propose to Deanna. Womack even requested that the show's producers fly her father in for the finale. The shocker - Womack told Deanna he wasn't in love enough to marry her either and left her in tears.

English financier Matt Grant chose Shayne Lamas, daughter of actor Lorenzo Lamas. He proposed, and the two briefly took up residence together, but Grant apparently got cold feet and moved to an apartment of his own. The two reportedly ended their relationship in July of 2008.

Bachelor Jason Mesnick returns from his stint as runner-up on season four to search for love. Will he manage to find his soul mate? Only time will tell.

It seems that love hasn't been kind to the bachelors so far, but hope, as well as a new season, springs eternal.
