Want to Find Love on TV? Head to Paradise
“The Bachelorette” has fared better over its 15 seasons, producing four marriages and two lasting engagements. The first Bachelorette, Trista Rehn, is still married to Ryan Sutter after 15 years, while Season Seven’s leading lady Ashley Hebert and her pick J.P. Rosenbaum, as well as Season Nine’s Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried, are married with children. Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo were the most recent couple to walk down the aisle, marrying in August 2019.
Season 12 star Jojo Fletcher and her fiancé Jordan Rodgers have been engaged since 2016 and are planning a wedding, while Luyendyk’s former fiancée, Season 14 Bachelorette Becca Kufrin, found love with Garrett Yrigoyen, whom she has been engaged to since 2018.
But “Bachelor in Paradise” is the real star in the franchise, having more success in the matchmaking realm than its sister shows. The spinoff, launched in 2014, places former “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” contestants in a tropical setting to find love with their fellow single cast members.
Maybe it’s the sun? Maybe it’s the sand? Maybe it’s the fact that “Bachelor in Paradise” is the only one of the shows to pay its contestants? But in its six seasons, “Bachelor in Paradise” has produced four weddings and five engagements. And there are four couples who have decided to continue dating after the show ended. Two couples -- Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert, as well as Carly Waddell and Evan Bass -- have children.
