"Before Rachael addressed anything or Chris Harrison spoke on anything, I'm trying to be there for her, and I dismissed them as rumors, because that's what they were to me. You hear things that are heartbreaking, and you just pray they're not true. And then, when you find out that they are it just makes you question everything."

"I found my best friend," Lowe said of one of the reasons he chose to make Giudici his wife. "On the show, we would say, 'Wouldn't it be nice if we could just put sweatpants on and lay on the couch and watch Netflix?'

The author and Bachelor fan favorite has 1.3 million followers on Instagram. They are treated to posts and stories about life with his wife, his three children and his Bachelor Nation thoughts. 

Sean's 2013 season had the most diverse cast of its time. When ABC revisited Sean's season on The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons -- Ever!, Sean's wife Catherine took to Instagram to open up about feeling like she was cast on the series to "check a box." 

"I knew that one of the reasons I was probably chosen was because I was Filipino. I counted myself out to be his fiancée because of what I assumed Sean liked. I thought I was there just to check a box, but I ended up with so much more," she wrote. "As he started noticing me for who I really was, I allowed this experience to open myself up to the possibility of being fully loved and appreciated for all that I was. I ended up getting to represent a mixed race community ... and marrying the most amazing man I’ve ever known. I’d say doing this show was one of the best things that ever happened to me."

The reality star is best known for telling finalists JoJo Fletcher and Lauren Bushnell that he was in love with both of them. After the romantic gaffe, Higgins ultimately chose Bushnell.

In 2020, Higgins said he regretted telling JoJo those three important words.

"I was sorry for JoJo watching it back ... in the moment, the damage was done. I was sorry that I did that to somebody," Higgins told ET. "My intentions were good. I really do believe that my intentions were to make everybody know just how much I cared."

He is now dating Jessica Clarke. He also hosts the popular Ben & Ashley I. Almost Famous Podcast. The former account manager has 1.3 million Instagram followers. 

Weber's season finale of The Bachelor was one of the most dramatic the franchise had ever seen. He had proposed to Hannah Ann Sluss, then ended their engagement and started a relationship with his runner-up, Madison Prewett.

His mom, Barbara, strongly disapproved, and days later, Weber and Prewett went their separate ways.  Weeks after that, he started dating another ex-contestant, Kelley Flanagan.

The reality star and Flanagan split in 2020. "We’re just two different people, and those differences surfaced after eight months of dating," he said. "But I loved her like crazy, and my mom really cared about her."

In 2021, the pilot moved to New York. His 1.7 million Instagram followers get a peek of his new life in the Big Apple.

She did and the couple lasted for a year and a half before splitting up in March 2020.

In 2021, the former NFL tight end came out as gay. "For me, I've ran from myself for a long time. I've hated myself for a long time, and I'm gay," Underwood said. "And I came to terms with that earlier this year and I've been processing it. I think the next step in all of this is letting people know. I'm still nervous but, yeah, it's been a journey for sure."

In April of that year, it was announced that he is filming a new Netflix reality series related to his sexuality announcement. 

Underwood has 2 million Instagram followers.
