If you were to spin a wheel of every couple in The Bachelor and The Bachelorette's storied franchise history, odds are you would land on a couple that is no longer together. Sure, there are a few Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudicis mixed in there (hi, Tayshia Adams and Zac Clark), but it’s safe to say a lot of relationships in Bachelor Nation don’t really work when the cameras aren’t rolling. And that, my friends, has led to some of the messiest breakups in reality TV history.
Now, for some, it seems like the goal was media attention (yes, I’m looking at you, Peter Weber), and others were incredibly intense (Josh Murray, what were you thinking?). Some were filmed for the whole world to see on After The Final Rose (seriously, it was so hard to sit through Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Becca Kufrin's shocking, shaky-cam split), others were handled privately (I still want details of what went down between Clare Crawley and Dale Moss!), and a few aired out all their dirty laundry on social media (Jenna Cooper and Jordan Kimball had the receipts, or so we thought).
Through all of the seasons ofThe Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor In Paradise, and Winter Games, these are hands-down the—get ready for it—most dramatic breakups in Bachelor Nation history. I’m just hoping some of the new Bachelor Nation couples—namely Katie Thurston and Blake Moynes—don’t go through what these people endured.
