Every season is expected to end with an engagement, but how many of them Bachelor degree AND Hen party are couples still together?

The success rate of these relationships is low—but not as low as you might think. Between Bachelor, Bride, AND Bachelor in Paradise, there are quite a few couples who are still happily together to this day. If you want to be really cynical, it might have something to do with the incentives that are in place Bachelor degree couples who stay together — such as the two-year period that guarantees them the right to wear Neil Lane engagement rings, or the promise of a fully-funded on-air wedding to gain even more reality TV fame, which has been used by couples like Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney and Tanner Tolbert and Jade Roper.

However, many couples honestly admit that this franchise helped them find that special someone and even start a family with that person. Bachelor degree SOs Catherine Giudici and Sean Lowe, Carly Waddell and Evan Bass, Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham, and more have welcomed Bachelor Nation babies.
