Zach Shallcross Defs Won't Wanna Join This Shortest ‘Bach’ Relationships List

With Zach Shallcross’ season of The Bachelor just around the corner, it’s hard not to reminisce on The Bachelor Universe couples of the past… and I mean truly in the past. As in, they’ve broken up.

If you’re looking for lasting love, going on reality TV doesn't seem like the best way to find it. I only hope that Zach has better luck this season. Given that he sent himself home during his time on Rachel and Gabby’s season of The Bachelorette, he seems to have the instinct to end a relationship before it *truly* begins–which might help this time around. Still, the odds are not exactly in his favor.

Let's break down with numbers. Out of all of the seasons of the main franchise (26 complete seasons of The Bachelor, 19 complete seasons of The Bachelorette, and 8 seasons of The Bachelor in Paradise) only 17 relationships are still going—and that includes two people who dumped the person they chose and married the runner up!! (Jason and Molly are #goals, though.) Of those 17 couples, 10 are married.

Some of the shortest relationships in Bachelor Nation also ended up being some of the *most dramatic* (you know I had to) breakups in the franchise’s history. Even Gabby and Erich–who seemed so happy during The Bachelorette season finale in September–didn’t make it past two months. From Tino’s cheating scandal, to host Jesse Palmer’s very own short-lived long-distance relationship, these Bachelor Nation relationships didn’t make it past the one-year mark.
