Dreams do come true. At least 10-20 percent of the time.
Fans know that a final rose does not guarantee a lifetime of happiness, but The Bachelor has produced some couples that have stood the test of time. At least lately.
And with Juan Pablo Galavis’ season in full swing, ABC caught us up on some of its recent success stories as part of its "Juan-uary" series of Sunday specials.
Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici are set to tie the knot next weekend. They were one of the duos featured on The Bachelor: Bachelor Love Stories last night.
The others:
- Trista Rehn married fireman Ryan Sutter in a ceremony that was televised in 2003. Still the gold standard for the show, over a decade later.
- Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried. The most recent Bachelorette picked Chris at the end of Season 9 last year. They’re still engaged.
- Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum. After she chose J.P. on The Bachelorette Season 7 finale, Ashley married J.P. in December 2012.
- Molly and Jason Mesnick. Jason was engaged to Melissa Rycroft, but dumped her for runner-up (and now-wife) Molly on the After the Final Rose special. Close enough.
Will Juan Pablo end up in the success or failure column? The Bachelor spoilers shed some light on that if you’re interested … but the odds are not good.
That’s like five success stories in like 27 seasons. Just saying.
