After 20 seasons of The Bachelor, 12 seasons of The Bachelorette, 3 seasons of Bachelor Pad, and 3 seasons of Bachelor In Paradise, watchers might find themselves wondering how many of the couples actual made it.

The short answer to that question is, well, not many. But season after season, Bachelor Nation gathers around their TVs (with wine, one might add…) in hopes that the Bachelor or Bachelorette will make the right decisions.

So, which couples actually have lasted? Here’s a quick list of couples that are still together after their appearances on The Bachelor franchise.


1. Jason and Molly Mesnick
