As a seasoned observer of love stories unfolding on reality TV shows, I must say that the journey of these Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants is nothing short of captivating! From the highs of finding “the one” to the lows of heartbreak and split-ups, their lives have been a rollercoaster ride filled with drama, tears, laughter, and eventually, love.
Another Bachelor Nation baby has arrived.
Desiree Hartsock, a previous Bachelorette contestant, announced the birth of her third child with husband Chris Siegfried. They shared the news a week after their little one was born. Their family already includes sons Asher (8 years old) and Zander (5 years old).
One week with Noah Parker and our hearts have changed forever, Desiree wrote alongside a heartwarming montage video of her newborn son. ‘We’re thriving and getting accustomed to being a family of five. He’s as adorable as can be and bears a striking resemblance to his brothers.’
In the video, you can observe their young son frequently dozing off while nestled between his parents, allowing his older siblings to cradle him tenderly. At times, he even lifts himself up cutely, and gives a sweet little pucker with his lips.
They initially revealed their anticipation for their third child back in May, sharing a video of Desiree enjoying her coffee.
There seems to be something in the works… Not referring to my coffee brew, but a new addition to our family arriving in November – Baby #3!
In a sweet video uploaded in July, the family announced that another baby boy would be added to their group, as seen by the older brothers launching poppers filled with blue confetti.
Desiree expressed her great joy and anticipation on Instagram, saying, “We can hardly wait to meet this little fellow!” The boys are eagerly preparing to share their knowledge with him, making it all the more adorable!
Following her stint as a contestant on Sean Lowe’s season of ‘The Bachelor’, she subsequently became the lead on ‘The Bachelorette’ in 2013. Desiree and Chris, who got engaged during the ninth season of the reality show, celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary earlier this year in January.
9 years ago today, Desiree posted on Instagram, “Today marks a point where my life was irrevocably altered! I walked towards my forever partner down the aisle. Almost a decade has passed, filled with valuable lessons, growth, ups and downs, but one thing remains undeniable – I wouldn’t choose to live this life with anyone else. With each passing year, our love becomes deeper, more exposed, and more intricately connected. Onward we go, @chrisrsiegfried, forever by your side. I love you.

In the season finale of “The Bachelorette” (season 21), it seemed like former “Bachelor” contestant Jenn Tran was on track for a happy ending with her final choice, Devin Strader. However, during an appearance on “After the Final Rose” in September, Jenn, who is 26 years old, disclosed that Devin, aged 28, distanced himself from her as soon as the cameras stopped rolling.
During the September 3rd show, Jenn expressed to host Jesse Palmer that the man she was involved with had been expressing passionate declarations of love one day, only to disappear and deny any previous feelings of affection the next. She explained that all the commitments he had made to her, as well as the love he had professed to give her, seemed to have vanished without a trace.
The narrative unfolded further as Devin posted a 13-minute video on Instagram, explaining his perspective and admitting fault (taking accountability), while also discussing the reasons behind ending their relationship during a 15-minute phone conversation.
Instead of claiming Jenn accused him of ending their relationship over the phone in August, he said that Jenn pressed him about issues and wanted him to reveal his feelings in person, which is why he felt compelled to end it in person rather than over the phone.
He admitted that he wasn’t sure about what other options were left, implying he had held off telling her in person. Essentially, she made the situation such that he had no choice but to reveal it.
Ever since that time, Jenn made her way towards Dancing With the Stars, and speculations about her relationship with partner Sasha Farber have persisted since their elimination on October 29th, suggesting a possible blossoming affection between them.

After courting 32 potential brides, tennis pro Joey Graziadei found his perfect match in project manager Kelsey Anderson. “I can’t wait another minute to tell you that I love you,” Joey told his final rose recipient, before getting down on one knee during his season’s March 2024 finale. “There is something about you. You have this infectious energy that makes me smile. It’s a feeling I’ve never had before.”
Imagining his forever with the Louisiana native, he continued, “I have known for a while that I’ve wanted to have a beautiful life, but I truly didn’t know how beautiful that life could be until I met you.”

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.”

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 with TopMob News her delight about the outcome of the season, but it fell short of expressing the grandeur of her August 2023 finale.

“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.”
The relationship between pilot Rachel and general contractor Tino Franco hit a snag when he was caught kissing another woman during their 2022 season broadcast. On the podcast “The Viall Files”, he admitted, “I in no way condone my actions. It was not right, it wasn’t fair to Rachel, and I regret it deeply every day. I feel ashamed and if I could go back and change it a million times over, I would.

Despite the initial promise, they announced their split six months after the season finale in December 2021. Although he mentioned on “The Viall Files” that there were numerous ups and downs, arguments, and fights, Nayte admitted that not having a face-to-face conversation to formally end things was thoughtless.

Being in a new relationship and then disappearing for a while can be challenging, right?” she explained honestly on the The Ben and Ashley I. Almost Famous podcast in August 2021.
