All Your Favorite ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Couples, Then and Now

No offense to The Bachelor and The Bachelorette (and the Ghosts of Bachelor Winter Games and Bachelor Pad), but Bachelor in Paradise is the franchise’s best show, hands down. It's just a fact! On top of Paradise having way more drama amongst its contestants (though, honestly the drama during Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia's current season of The Bachelorette is kinda unbeatable), couples that come together on Paradise actually tend to stay together? At least for a little while! Which yeah, is the literal point of the show, but let's be honest: it's not like Bachelor Nation in general has a great track record for helping people actually find love, so this is saying something!

Of course, not every couple lasts after leaving the delightful and beloved mess that is Paradise—especially as the years go on. Things change, ya know? On that note, here’s the deal with all the couples who left the show happily in love (and in some cases engaged) and an update on where they stand as of now. There are also already a ton of spoilers on what happens in Season 8—so if you're in the mood to find out which couples end up engaged head over here for a full breakdown. Just be advised that judging from early intel, this might actually be one of the Most! Dramatic! Seasons! Ever! Then again, every season is its own special brand of chaos, so :)
