The Longest Relationships That Started on The Bachelor/ette

At the end of a long Monday, there's nothing more satisfying than taking off your pants, opening a whole bottle of wine just for yourself, and relaxing with a multi-hour Bachelor event on ABC. The show itself has been on since 2003, but that doesn't mean that all of the relationships that began The Bachelorette have lasted forever. While many couples who participated in this reality-dating television show fizzled out pretty quickly, some of the relationships that formed on the set of ABC's hit TV show were built to last. This list will give you a close-up on some of the longest relationships that started on The Bachelorette.  

The first couple to ever appear on The Bachelorette is the show's biggest success. Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter have been together since 2003, and even had their wedding televised. As of 2018, they are still happily married with two adorable children. Other couples on the show haven't necessarily had the same fairytale experience, but the drama and scandals have made for excellent television! If you're curious about other successful The Bachelor marriages or if you're wondering if Desiree and Chris from season nine of The Bachelorette are still together, find out with this list. All your favorite bachelors and bachelorettes are (hopefully) here!  

Some of The Bachelorette contestants on this list went on to happily marry other people, while a lucky few have managed to hold their televised relationships together in the real world.
