Every time a new season of The Bachelor is announced, the excitement inevitably builds up. Immediately after, another thought rolls in, what happened to the previous couples? Are they still together? If not, who are they currently seeing?
Since many of the reality TV stars love to get back with their old flames, it can be tricky to keep track. So while you wait for the newer episodes, it is time to catch up on the contestants who have appeared in the show before!
Alex Michel and Amanda Marsh

After a swoon-worthy romance in season seventeen, he proposed, and they became the first couple to get married in the history of the reality show.
The wedding was broadcasted in 2014. Lowe went on to appear in Dancing with the Stars. In 2016 Giudici gave birth to their first son, Samuel. The baby boy was soon joined by one brother and sister.
