Right now is a difficult time to be a member of "Bachelor Nation" since this year's season of The Bachelorette was canceled. Since I'll no longer get my Bachelorette fix every Monday at 8/7c, I decided to take a trip down memory lane and reminisce on past seasons.

That got me thinking... how many Bachelor/Bachelorette couples are still together today? Since the first season aired in 2002, there have been plenty of proposals — but far fewer couples actually make it to the altar once the cameras stop rolling.

So, without further ado, here's the list of Bachelor and Bachelorette couples who are still together in 2026:

Note: This list excludes any couples who came from the show's spin-off series, Bachelor in Paradise.

Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter — The Bachelorette (2002)

Jason and Molly from season 13 of The Bachelor recently celebrated 16 years of marriage. However, their love story had a slight hiccup: Molly was actually the runner-up on Jason's season. He initially proposed to Melissa Rycroft, but broke off that engagement when he realized he had stronger feelings for Molly.

Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici — The Bachelor (2012)

10.

And finally, Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple — The Golden Bachelorette (2024)

Joan and Chock are a success story from the first season of The Golden Bachelorette. Per E! News, the pair doesn't have official plans to tie the knot yet, although they've been happily engaged since 2024. In a recent joint Instagram video, they explained that they're focusing on the back-to-back weddings of Joan's two adult children before they start planning their own.

And that's a wrap!

With about 50 seasons and only 10 couples to show for it, the success rate is...not great. But still, kudos to the few Bachelor and Bachelorette couples who accepted the final rose and never looked back.
