Since The Bachelorette premiered over a decade ago, there have been more than a dozen women who looked for love on the show. But “Who’s still together from The Bachelorette?” is the real question.
The Bachelorette premiered in January 2003 with Trista Rehn as Bachelor Nation’s first-ever female lead. Trista was the runner-up on season 1 of The Bachelor with Alex Michel. And it’s a good thing that Alex didn’t pick her, as Trista (and her husband Ryan) became one of the most successful couples from the franchise. Not only are they married (the two tied the knot in Bachelor Nation’s first-ever televised wedding, we might add), but Trista and Ryan also share two beautiful children.
Since the first season of The Bachelorette, there have been many women who have given out roses on the show. While some have been success stories (such as season 13’s Rachel Lindsay and season 9’s Desiree Hartsock), there have been many Bachelorettes whose relationships just didn’t work out. (Season 15’s Hannah Brown ended her engagement to her winner, Jed Wyatt, before her finale even aired. Ouch.)
Ahead, we looked back at every couple and winner from The Bachelorette to see where they are now. Find out who’s still together.

He proposes again in the “After the Final Rose” special, but she rejects it a second time and tells him that they’re better as friends. “I think that you know I was so committed to this — I hope that you know that — and I really tried to make it work, but I think we talked a lot, and we saw each other, and I think that we both came to the realization that we were better as friends,” she said.

Becca then became the season 14 Bachelorette and got engaged to Garrett Yrigoyen. The two were engaged for two years before their breakup in 2020. Their breakup came after Garrett’s controversial comments about Black Lives Matter.
“I don’t think it’s going to come as a shock to anyone, but Garrett and I have decided to end our engagement,” Becca said on an episode of her podcast, “Bachelor Happy Hour,” at the time. “After many conversations, we came to this decision. It wasn’t something that we just arrived at one night. It wasn’t based solely off of one Instagram post or somebody else’s opinions or comments. There’s much more to it. To any relationship, there’s a lot of layers, and it’s not for me to divulge details. It’s no one’s business other than what I’m telling you right now.”
