The Bachelor has been around for 23 seasons, The Bachelorette has been on-air for 15 seasons, and Bachelor in Paradise is heading into its sixth season, which means this franchise has had its fair share of failed relationships. But, among the breakups are a few couples who have been able to stand the test of time.
From one original Bachelorette couple to a couple of Bachelor couples, to even one Bachelor in Paradise marriage, here are the Top 5 Bachelor couples who have made it work despite all the obstacles.
Ryan and Trista Sutter: Ryan and Trista Sutter met and fell in love during the first ever season of The Bachelorette back in 2003. Trista ended up picking Ryan out of all the other men available and the two have been inseparable ever since.
They tied the knot in December 2003 on television. They currently live in Vail, Colorado with their two children — son Max and daughter Blakesley.
Sean and Catherine Lowe: Sean Lowe became The Bachelor in 2013 after placing third on Emily Maynard’s season of The Bachelorette. He quickly fell in love with contestant Catherine Giudici and proposed to her on the season finale. The couple got married in January 2014 in Santa Barbara, California.
