22 of the Hottest "Bachelors" From Around the World
Since 2002, 20 seasons of The Bachelor have aired on ABC, each (but one, because Brad Womack had two turns at the lady-buffet) featuring a different whitebread hunk. And the show's lovefest has been copied by many other countries - here, Cosmopolitan.com gives you a taste of the hotties you've been missing out on because you don't have Eastern European cable channels on your TV, with 22 of the hottest Bachelors from around the world.
1. Tim Robards
Country: Australia
After the final rose: Silver fox like no other Tim Robards fronted the first season of Australia's Bachelor franchise, setting the bar high in all senses really - he gave his last rose to Anna Heinrich and they are still together three years later. P.S. this photo is everything:
2. Andrei Andrei
Country: Romania
After the final rose: Andrei, a model/website designer, rejected both of his final two contestants, so that's that. No news on if he is currently dating or not, though his Instagram does suggest that he is still modeling (and that's the important part, right?!).
3. Gavin Henson
Country: United Kingdom
After the final rose: Gavin, a rugby player who used to date Welsh singer Charlotte "Voice of an Angel" Church, gave his final rose to Carianne Barrow, a controversial contestant on the show. And then he broke up with her shortly afterward, reportedly on Valentine's Day.
4. Sergey Melnik
Country: Ukraine
After the final rose: Melnik gave his last rose to Marina Kischuk; they are still together. Here is a bonus photo of him looking dapper AF in black tie:
5. Dudu Aharon
Country: Israel
After the final rose: At the end of the season, Israeli singer/songwriter Aharon selected Neta Danino as his pick ... but the two separated shortly after the show was aired. Aharon now has a new girlfriend.
6. Timur Batrutdinov
Country: Russia
After the final rose: Thirty-seven-year-old Batrutdinov picked 23-year-old Daria Kananuha as his winner, but they broke up a few months later, with Kananuha telling Russian Cosmo that he didn't even try to keep the reality TV romance magic alive. It's not clear if the owl he's pictured here with had come between them.
7. Rafael Beutl
Country: Switzerland
After the final rose: Beutl gave the final rose to Belinda, a makeup artist who lives in Berlin ... but just got engaged to someone else, according to his Instagram, so it's clear what happened there (another Bachelor relationship flop).
8. Blake Garvey
Country: Australia
After the final rose: Garvey originally proposed to Sam Frost on the shows finale but then revealed that he made the wrong choice - instead plumping for Louise Pillidge, another contestant on the show (with whom he's pictured above with). Garvey and Pillidge are still together to this day.
9. Tim Warmels
Country: Canada
Outcome: Warmels gave his last rose to April Brockman and proposed as most Bachelors are wont to do. That didn't work out though, with the couple later announcing the end of their engagement on Warmels's blog. "We want everyone to know that we both still very deeply believe in the kind of love that we were looking for when we went on the show and we believe this love exists now more than ever," they wrote. Our love for each other has been very real and we've learned an incredible amount from each other that we will grow positively because of. "
10. Maxim Cherniavsky
Country: Russia
After the final rose: Very little is known about Cherniavsky's stint on The Bachelor, at least on sites that aren't blocked for being potential security threats? He appears to have chosen Mary Drigola, the daughter of a Russian rear admiral, as his OTP, but now lives in L.A. (solo?) doing his thing as a property developer. He recently appeared on Million Dollar Listing, FYI.
11. Art Green
Country: New Zealand
After the final rose: Green and Matilda Rice, the recipient of his final rose, are still currently together - at least according to this adorable Facebook account (and the New Zealand tabloids).
12. Paul Janke
Country: Germany
After the final rose: Janke gave his last rose to one Anja Polzer ... but like most other Bachelor relationships, they are no longer together. So sad.
13. Paul Valin
Country: France
After the final rose: Valin gave his final rose to an Alix, whose name unknown because the French are mysterious like that. Although the two did have a romantic season, they are no longer together.
14. Evgeniy Levchenko
Country: Russia
After the final rose: Levchenko gave his last rose to Olesya Ermakova, a journalist. It is unclear on whether they are together still or not, but he at least looks loved up with this delectable cheese wedge.
15. Pär Nilsson
Country: Sweden
After the final rose: Nilsson gave his last rose to Rebecca Stenström on a Bachelor finale that aired just last month. Nilsson and Stenström are still together, but that's not saying much just yet.
16. Spencer Matthews
Country: United Kingdom
After the final rose: Matthews, a wealthy British reality TV star, gave his final rose to Khloe Evans, only for her to be pictured kissing a different British reality TV star a week after the show ended. To be fair, no one in the U.K. was under the impression anyone involved in the show was taking it seriously, other than for the D-list fame that came with it (Matthews was accused of being in a relationship throughout filming anyway). There's also a photo of his penis on the Internet. It happens.
17. Gianluca Perino
Country: Brazil
After the final rose: Perino gave his last rose to Aane Doux but they split up after four months, womp, womp.
18. Andrey Iskornev
Country: Ukraine
After the final rose: Iskornev gave his final rose to Annie Trump. There is no news about the status of the relationship today (and no news is rarely good news), but judging by his Facebook account, he is very committed to his job of being a plastic surgeon. Hello McDreamy <3
19. Oliver Sanne
Country: Germany
After the final rose: Sanne gave his last rose to Liz Käber. That did not last because the two decided that there were no feelings when the cameras weren't not around. Harsh, but hey.
20. Brad Smith
Country: Canada
After the final rose: Smith gave his last rose to Bianka Kamber and the couple lasted for two years. But not forever.
21. Sam Wood
Country: Australia
Outcome: Wood gave his last rose to Snezana Markoski along with a promise ring. In December 2015 the two announced their engagement on their social media accounts. Aww!
And 22. Vladimir Droghia
Country: Romania
After the final rose: Droghia didn't even make it that far - in an event that's so far yet to be repeated in the franchise worldwide, he was booted from his own show (and replaced) after the contestants complained about him being rude. But here he is making you Starbucks, so can he really be that bad?!
