First comes televised love, then comes a Neil Lane engagement ring, then comes... actually getting married?! Though many couples from The Bachelor franchise end up calling it quits after the cameras stop rolling, the show does boast quite a few success stories.

The Season 17 Bachelor is the first male lead to end up marrying the final girl he chose on his season. Sean and Catherine Lowe tied the knot in January 2014 in a televised wedding special on ABC. Today, they share two sons, Samuel and Isaiah, and welcomed their daughter, Mia, in 2019.
As for what makes their relationship so strong? "I give a lot of credit to Catherine because Catherine had to leave her hometown of Seattle, leave her job, leave her friends and basically start a new life with me," Sean revealed to E!. "But she committed to love me and to work on our relationship and she continued to work after we were married in our marriage to be the best wife she possibly could be, which isn't always easy after making all those sacrifices."

In Season 5, they returned to Paradise where Jared asked Ashley to marry him with a Neil Lane sparkler. The couple tied the knot in August 2019.
Two years later, they revealed they were having a son. "I'm super excited. I hope that he likes some of the things I loved growing up, like Star Wars and comic books and sports," Jared said during an Amazon Live session (via PEOPLE) . "I've always dreamed of coaching my son's little league team, so I hope he likes playing baseball. I guess we'll find out. I also really hope he becomes the next kicker for the New England Patriots."
Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo
The Season 13 Bachelorette finale aired in August 2017, and two years after getting engaged on national television, Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo tied the knot. As for why their nuptials didn't make it to TV? They simply chose to keep it private. “We don’t need TV. We don’t need to get paid. We’re doing this because this is what we want to do. And I think it has more meaning," Rachel previously told PEOPLE.
Holly Durst and Blake Julian
Though they've kept out of the spotlight since their time on the show, Holly Durst Julian and Blake Julian are still a Bachelor success story! The couple, who met on Season 2 of Bachelor Pad (which was canceled after Season 3), got engaged in 2011. By 2012, they were married.
For years, they've lived their lives privately in Greenville, South Carolina and after struggling to conceive naturally, the couple opted to adopt a baby girl named Poppy in September 2019. "She is all of our answered prayers! Baby girl, I would wait another 7 years for you!" Holly wrote on Instagram.
Kevin Wendt and Astrid Loch
Astrid Loch and Kevin Wendt met during 2018's Season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise, but didn't leave together. “As bad as the breakup was, it might have actually made our relationship even better,” Wendt told PEOPLE that year.
After reconciling, the pair got engaged in 2019. While they had planned to wed in 2020, they had to postpone their wedding twice because of the pandemic, including after announcing their pregnancy in 2021. The Bachelor Nation alums, who "struggled with fertility and conceiving naturally," welcomed their first child in November 2021. The joys kept right on coming when the two tied the knot after a long wait in October 2022 before announcing in February 2023 that they were expecting their second child.
Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes
Despite their long-term romance, Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes didn’t seem like they were headed toward the aisle after meeting in 2019 on Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise.
"In my opinion, I don’t need the title of husband to show the world that I’m committed to one person," Dean told Chris Harrison on an episode of The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever! in 2020 (via Cosmopolitan). Dean noted that he wears a ring nonetheless to show that he is "committed to Caelynn and only Caelynn."
The two surprised everyone when they announced their engagement in October 2022. While we don’t know their wedding plans just yet, Dean had previously revealed on his Help! I Suck at Dating podcast in 2021 (via PEOPLE) that he and Caelynn have hypothetically "talked about" the idea of getting married in Lake Como.
Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk
The duo didn't walk away from Season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise engaged, but Adam Gottschalk popped the question in May 2019, and he and Raven Gates got married in April 2021. A few months later in July, the BiP alum announced that she was pregnant with her first child. "OVER THE MOON EXCITED TO SHARE THE NEWS! Our Honeymoon baby will be here in January!," Raven wrote on Instagram.
