12 Bachelor Nation Couples Who Met Off the Show(s) — & Their Statuses Today
Bachelor Nation is one powerful force! Many couples have found love on shows like The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise, but there are plenty of connections made when the cameras aren’t rolling, too.
Once you’re in Bachelor Nation, you’re in it for life. Most of the show’s contestants run in the same circles after they finish filming their respective seasons, which leads to a lot of mingling and even new relationships formed.
Scroll down to see all the couples who got together thanks to Bachelor Nation … but not while filming one of the franchise’s hit shows.
Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick — Split
Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick got together in early 2019 after she ended her engagement to Shawn Booth, her final pick on The Bachelorette. They met while Tartick was a guest on her podcast during his time on Season 14 of The Bachelorette.
Although the two got engaged in 2021, they split two years later.
Susie Evans and Justin Glaze — Split (Maybe)
Susie Evans was Clayton Echard’s final pick on The Bachelor, but their relationship ended in September 2022. She struck up a close friendship with Justin Glaze from Season 17 of The Bachelorette and Season 8 of Bachelor in Paradise. After months of fans speculating that they were dating, they confirmed their relationship in January 2024.
However, by August of that year, Glaze announced that the two had split. He assured fans that they were on “great terms” at the time.
In December 2024, Evans revealed that she and Glaze were still friends, but admitted that they were exploring the possibility of getting back together. “We are working on things and seeing if it makes sense for us and taking things slow, taking things privately,” she revealed.
Chris Bukowski and Anna Redman — Still Together
Chris Bukowski was on five Bachelor Nation shows, but it wasn’t until after he stopped looking for love on television that he finally found his person. Bukowski publicly confirmed his relationship with The Bachelor Season 25 contestant Anna Redman in March 2022, although they actually started dating months earlier.
“2 years. Thank you for keeping it simple and absolutely incredible at the same time. You’re my best friend @anna_redman and I love you,” he wrote on Instagram in December 2023.
Two months later, Redman explained why she and her boyfriend weren’t rushing to get engaged. “We are very happy where we are in our relationship and we are saving up for a house and building our professional lives, which is a chapter we are both really enjoying,” she shared in an Instagram Q&A.
Brayden Bowers and Christina Mandrell — Still Together
Brayden Bowers and Christina Mandrell started dating after his stint on Bachelor in Paradise in 2023. They got together after she slid into his DMs and went public with their relationship in December of that year.
In January 2024, the couple attended Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s wedding and Bowers proposed during the televised event.
Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo — Split
Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo made waves when they started dating in the fall of 2022. When fans first spotted them together, she was starring on Season 8 of Bachelor in Paradise, which had filmed a few months earlier.
As fans watched Fuller and Johnny Dephillipo fall in love on the show, they weren’t privy to the fact that the two had already broken up in real life. By the time the finale aired, the pair confirmed their split, and Fuller and Grippo went public with their romance.
However, the love didn’t last. The now-exes split in April 2024. “Break ups are never easy and especially so publicly,” she wrote on Instagram the following month. “I absolutely LOVE sharing my life with you guys but some moments are meant to be private. We are all going through something so just a reminder to be kind.”
Victoria Fuller and Chris Soules — Split
Before there was Grippo, there was Chris Soules for Fuller. The reality stars started dating at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and even quarantined together that spring. However, they broke up by September.
“I’m not moving to Iowa anytime soon, so I just want to focus on me,” Fuller explained on The Viall Filespodcast. “It’s been so much about other people this year that I just really want to hone in on what I want to accomplish. I still talk to him all the time. I think he’s amazing. We are a lot alike, but I just want to focus on myself right now.”
Chris and Peyton Lambton — Still Together
After appearing on Season 10 of The Bachelor and Season 6 of The Bachelorette, respectively, Peyton Lambton and Chris Lambton met through mutual friends in 2010. They got married in May 2012 and have two children.
Ty Brown and Elizabeth Kitt — Split
Ty Brown and Elizabeth Kitt were on The Bachelorette and The Bachelor, respectively, in 2010. They met at a charity event and started dating in 2013, then even made it down the aisle one year later. Their daughter, Blakeley, was born in 2018, but the couple eventually split (reportedly in 2021).
Clay Harbor and Angela Amezcua — Split
Clay Harbor appeared on Season 14 of The Bachelorette, but had to leave the show early after suffering a wrist injury. Months later, he found love with another Bachelor Nation star, Angela Amezcua. The romance started following her stint on Season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise.
However, the relationship ended in 2019 and the reality stars both went on to appear on Season 6 of BiP. At that point, Amezcua said that they weren’t speaking, but confirmed that they weren’t on “bad terms” with each other. She admitted that the amount of time he spent in the gym was partially to blame for their split.
Angela Amezcua and Kiptyn Locke — Still Together
After things didn’t work out for Amezcua and Harbor, she went on to find love with another member of Bachelor Nation. Amezcua hard-launched her romance with Kiptyn Locke from Season 5 of The Bachelorette in April 2024. “After many amazing months together, guess it’s about time we share our love with the world,” she wrote on Instagram.
Jesse Csincsak and Ann Lueders — Still Together
Jesse Csincsak was DeAnna Pappas’ final rose pick on The Bachelorette, but they split shortly after the finale of their season aired. Meanwhile, Ann Lueders was eliminated on night one when she appeared on Jason Mesnick’s season.
In 2010, Csincsak hosted a Bachelor Nation event, which is where he met Lueders – and the rest is history. The couple got married later that year and have three children.
Zac Clark and Kaitlyn Bristowe — Still Together-ish
Bristowe was first linked to Tayshia Adams’ ex Zac Clark at the beginning of 2024. Fans spotted the two looking cozy in a video from New Year’s Eve.
While they have never confirmed their relationship, Bristowe did reveal later that year that she was seeing someone who lived in New York, although she made it clear that they weren’t exclusive (at least at the time). Amid the romance rumors, there have been multiple sightings of the pair together, including at a wedding in June 2024.
