As a seasoned observer of love stories unfolding on reality television, it is truly fascinating to witness the rollercoaster ride that these contestants embark upon. Each story is unique and filled with its own set of twists and turns, but what stands out most is the growth and transformation that occurs within each individual.
Following his triumphant win on “Dancing With the Stars,” Joey Graziadei dedicated a heartfelt shoutout to the person he cherishes deeply.
In a touching gesture, the 29-year-old honored his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, who consistently encouraged him during his quest to be the initial winner of the “Dancing with the Stars” Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
Joey shared with TopMob News following his victory in ‘Dancing With the Stars’ season 33, “[Everyone’s] been incredibly supportive – Kelsey, my family included. Each week, I receive messages right after a dance performance, filled with nothing but love, support, and encouragement. That’s all I could ever ask for.
To secure the first position, Joey and Jenna outperformed Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten, who were runners-up, as well as Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong, who placed second runners-up. The other finalists included Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold, who finished in fourth place, and former NFL player Danny Amendola and Witney Carson, who ended up in fifth place.
On season 28 of “The Bachelor,” Joey, the one who popped the question to Kelsey, likewise disclosed her initial response upon discovering his dancing skills.
“I think she was very surprised, along with everyone else,” he admitted, adding, “I was surprised.”
Now, he said, having a Mirrorball Trophy, “feels amazing.”
Kelsey supported her fiance both in person on the stage of Dancing with the Stars and online through social media.
Every Tuesday following his performance, Joey sends me a text saying, “I hope I made you proud,” which he certainly does – though truthfully, he makes me proud each and every day. It’s not just about his achievements; it’s the kindness he shows towards others and the dedication he consistently brings to everything he undertakes. This is what she shared on TikTok during the finale.
25-year-old [person] added, “Watching Joey focus on a goal is nothing short of inspiring. From his time on The Bachelor, our post-show life together, to his stint on Dancing With the Stars, it’s been amazing to witness his relentless determination and passion. I will forever remain his most enthusiastic fan and backer.
Joey replied to her message, expressing, “Your post brought tears to my eyes, darling. Thanks for being an amazing pillar of support and helping me through these tough times. I love you endlessly.

Now, he said, having a Mirrorball Trophy, “feels amazing.”
Kelsey supported her fiancé not just from the audience on the Dancing With the Stars dance floor, but also online through social media.
On the day of the grand finale, she posted on TikTok: “Every Tuesday following his performance, Joey texts me, expressing, ‘I hope I made you proud.’ Truthfully, he consistently makes me feel proud each day, but not just because of his achievements. It’s about how he interacts with others and the dedication he shows in everything he undertakes.
25-year-old said, “When Joey decides to do something, it’s really amazing to witness him pouring his heart into it. From ‘The Bachelor’, our life after the show, to ‘Dancing With the Stars’, it’s been awe-inspiring to observe his commitment and determination throughout. I will forever be his most ardent fan and advocate.
And trophy or not, Joey felt like a winner with Kelsey by his side.
He penned down, ‘It brought tears to my eyes, baby.’ He expressed gratitude for being an outstanding source of support and for uplifting him during these challenging times. His love remains constant forever.

In the finale of season 21 of “The Bachelorette,” it seemed like former contestant Jenn Tran, aged 26, was on track for a joyful conclusion with her final choice, Devin Strader. However, during an interview after the final rose ceremony in September, Jenn disclosed that as soon as filming ended, Devin, who is also 28 years old, suddenly became distant and unresponsive.
During the September 3rd episode, Jenn expressed to host Jesse Palmer that the man she was involved with would express strong declarations of love one day, only to be completely indifferent the next. She lamented that all the affectionate vows he had made to her and the love he claimed to have for her seemed to vanish overnight.
The narrative unfolded further as Devin posted a 13-minute video on Instagram, detailing his perspective and accepting responsibility for his actions. Moreover, he disclosed the reasons behind ending their relationship during a 15-minute telephone conversation.
Instead of Jenn accusing him over the phone in August that he ended their relationship, he asserted that Jenn was pushing for an explanation about their status because he was trying to tell her face-to-face.
As a die-hard fan, I found myself at a loss for words, but in the end, events seemed to take their own course. To put it bluntly, she essentially compelled me to reveal what I’d been holding back.
After that point, Jenn made her way towards Dancing with the Stars, and there’s a strong possibility she’s also found favor in the heart of her partner Sasha Farber. They’ve been fueling romance speculations ever since their elimination on October 29th.

In November 2022, Greg Grippo (a former suitor of Katie Thurston on The Bachelorette the previous year) appeared alongside Victoria Fuller on the finale of Bachelor in Paradise season eight. There, they disclosed that they were in a relationship. However, in April 2024, he confirmed that their relationship had ended.
Previously, Victoria Fuller and Johnny DePhillipo were engaged, but before they could confirm their relationship publicly during the finale of Bachelor in Paradise‘s eighth season, their romance had already split apart.
Status: Divorced
Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist became engaged in November 2023 at the conclusion of the first season of “Golden Bachelor”, and they officially married during a live broadcasted wedding ceremony in January 2024.
However, three months after their nuptials, the couple announced that they were breaking up.
During their interview on Good Morning America with Theresa, held on April 2024, Gerry expressed, “Theresa and I have had many personal talks and thoroughly examined our circumstances, living arrangement, and so on. We’ve arrived at a shared decision that it seems fitting for us to end our marriage.
They reached a divorce settlement in June 2024, according to court records reviewed by TopMob News.

Though underwater welder John Henry Spurlock (one of Charity Lawson‘s suitors) and nurse Kat Izzo (she competed for Zach Shallcross‘ heart) didn’t connect until midway through season nine of Bachelor in Paradise, they were willing to dive into the deep end. “I’m going to try something a little different,” he said while offering up an Ascher cut Neil Lane diamond. “I’m following my heart today. My heart’s telling me that you are amazing, you are everything that I’m looking for.”
But days after the finale aired, the duo revealed they no longer saw forever in each other’s eyes. “While our paths are taking different directions due to our career goals not aligning,” they wrote in a joint Instagram post, “we are grateful for the love and support we’ve received from our family, friends, and Bachelor Nation.”

Despite her nerves about a Paradise engagement, an all-dressed-in-white Eliza Isichei (one of Clayton Echard‘s exes) happily accepted Aaron Bryant‘s oceanfront proposal. Touched by the software salesman’s decision to reach out to her mom for her blessing, she gushed, “I knew I was not in control of what was going to come out of my mouth.”
The finale’s coda acknowledged Charity’s ex and marketing manager Eliza had hit some bumps after returning from Mexico, and days later they announced they had officially ended their engagement.
“Tricky emotions watching it all unfold,” he wrote on Instagram December 2023. “We’re leading our amicable split with nothing but positivity and mutual respect for one another.”

Though postpartum nurse Kylee Russell lamented boyfriend Aven Jones‘ unwillingness to get down on bended knee—a move he was purportedly prepared to make while romancing Bachelorette Rachel Recchia—she ultimately accepted Aven’s Paradise proposal to “get out of here and make it work.”
Though that meant her planned engagement gown remained packed, “I just had to do what I felt was right,” she said. “Love is all about taking risk.”
Two days after their December 2023 finale aired, she announced on her Instagram Stories that their relationship had “dissolved due to multiple infidelities.” Aven later issued an apology to Kylee, writing, “I have made major mistakes in the relationship and hurt someone who was very close to me.”
Charity Lawson playfully shared her satisfaction with the current season’s outcome in a conversation with TopMob News. However, her August 2023 finale was far from adequately conveyed by this statement. Dotun Olubeko, an integrative medicine specialist, knelt down to express his feelings, stating their love as “perfect.” He then asked the family therapist, “Will you accept this fairytale and make it a reality by becoming my wife?
As a devoted fan, I can confidently say that Zach shall indeed find his blissful conclusion! Despite some bumps along the Fantasy Suite road, Zach Shallcross wrapped up season 27 in March 2023 on one knee. In his heartfelt declaration to travel nurse Kaity Biggar, he confessed, “I am deeply in love with you. You are my universe. The affection I have for you surpasses anything I could have ever envisioned.
The current state: Separated

“I will love you until the end of time. I will love you until my last breath and I want to start forever with you,” Brandon Jones proclaimed while proposing to “best friend” Serene Russell on season seven of Paradise.
Alas, their journey was cut short. Five months after their engagement aired, Brandon (a runner-up on Michelle Young‘s season) and Serene (who romanced Clayton Echard) announced they had split in a joint May 2023 statement. “We have tried to work privately on our relationship which has been incredibly challenging in the public eye,” they wrote on Instagram. “This has been immensely hard to accept and painful, as there is a lot of love between the two of us. We are deeply hurting and can only ask that there be no hate.”
Status: The relationship between pilot Rachel and general contractor Tino Franco encountered a halt when he kissed another woman during their 2022 season broadcast. On “The Viall Files,” he admitted, “I in no way condone my actions. It was wrong, unfair to Rachel, and I regret it deeply every day. It’s something I’m ashamed of, and if I could do it over a million times, I would.
As Susie Evans, I embarked on an extraordinary voyage. During the finale of Bachelor Season 2022, I turned down Clayton Echard’s advances, but later reconnected with him off-screen, only to separate again six months later.
After dating Justin Glaze, a participant from Bachelor Nation, Susie later confirmed that they had parted ways as well, in August of 2024.

Minnesota elementary school teacher Michelle accepted a Neil Lane sparkler from Texas-based sales exec Nayte Olukoya—and a $200,000 check from producers to put toward their future home. But, ultimately, the pair just didn’t have the right foundation, announcing their breakup six months after their season’s finale aired in December 2021.
Though he said on The Viall Files, “There was lots of ups and downs, lots of arguments, lots of fights and just not really clicking, not really seeing eye-to-eye,” Nayte acknowledged that not having that final split conversation in person was “a dick move.”
The pair Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian, from BIP season seven, resonated with viewers as they shared their vision of delightful Sunday mornings ahead. However, despite the connection, their time together was limited to just a few weekends. In a joint statement issued in January 2022, their patient coordinator Maurissa (who dated Peter Weber) and attorney Riley (one of Tayshia Adams’ suitors), announced that they have decided to part ways. They never anticipated this situation, but have reached a point where they both need time for personal growth.

Despite exiting her season as an engaged couple, Tayshia, who transitioned from being the original lead to a co-host, later disclosed that their relationship experienced some highs and lows.
Being in a new relationship and then having to leave for a few weeks can be tricky, right? And I’m being completely genuine about this,” she shared on the The Ben and Ashley I. Almost Famous podcast in August 2021.

Approximately a month later, whispers of reconciliation swirled around them as they were seen together once more. By July 2021, following multiple meetings, Clare and Dale had fully rekindled their relationship, complete with an engagement ring. However, in September of the same year, they decided to part ways again. Now, Clare is blissfully wedded to Ryan Dawkins and they’re eagerly anticipating the arrival of their first child together.

Following a short-lived courtship with Hannah Ann Sluss and a breakup with Madison Prewett, fans were optimistic about Peter finding lasting love for the third time. However, his romantic endeavor with The Bachelor season 24’s Kelley Flanagan did not work out as planned. On New Year’s Eve of 2020, the pilot revealed that their nine-month relationship had ended.
Pete shared on Instagram that although our bond was rich with numerous cherished moments, ultimately, it wasn’t meant to last. However, Kelley remains someone who I will forever hold a unique affection towards.
In 2022, they made another attempt at flying again, but later in May, they disclosed that their relationship had come to an end.
Status: Split
After the intense 2020 conclusion, the pair revealed on Instagram that they would no longer be continuing their relationship. “Madi and I have mutually decided not to continue our relationship,” Peter posted. “I assure you this was not an easy decision for either of us, but after many sincere discussions, we’ve agreed that this is what seems best for both of us. The affection and regard I have for Madi will persist.
In her statement, Madi expressed, “I’ll always hold affection and admiration for him. I firmly believe that our lives were destined to intersect, making us both grow in the process.

During season 24 of The Bachelor, Peter and Hannah Ann had a brief engagement. Regrettably, only a month into their exclusive relationship, issues surfaced during the finale’s second part. More precisely, Hannah Ann found out about Peter still harboring feelings for Madison, which had taken her by surprise.
She put it this way: “All along, I’ve just wanted someone who would offer their complete love to me as I am offering mine to them. But you ended our first engagement,” she lamented, returning the ring. “You took that from me. ‘Cause I believed in you, and I kept being asked to do so – ‘to be patient with you, to have faith in you’.
Currently, their relationship status is married. After their days of living in a van, Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes, two contestants from different seasons of The Bachelorette, parted ways during Paradise season 6 in 2019. However, since then, they have been inseparable.
As a dedicated follower, I’m delighted to share that I, Dylan Barbour, exchanged vows with my beloved Hannah Godwin in a magnificent French wedding ceremony. It was nothing short of enchanting, surrounded by our dearest family and friends. The whole experience was more than we could have ever hoped for – truly a dream come true. Now, as a wife, I’m overjoyed to officially call the tech entrepreneur from Hannah Brown’s season my husband. We are thrilled to embark on this journey together in San Diego, with our families playing significant roles in our lives. Our bond feels like a marriage already, and we can’t wait to create lasting memories as a married couple.
