Alix Earle won’t be stealing anyone for a chat—at least not in primetime.
As many of you know, Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette didn’t quite happen as planned. I’ve been following the story, and she’s recently shared whether she’d be open to finding love on the show in the future. It’s always interesting to see how these reality TV stars navigate things after a cancellation, and she’s been pretty open about her thoughts on potentially returning to the dating world on ABC.
Alix, 25, said she wouldn’t, when speaking with Jenna Bush Hager and guest host Matt Rogers on the March 30th episode of Today With Jenna and Sheinelle. She explained it just wasn’t something she’d be interested in doing.
The former Dancing With the Stars contestant – who has been rumored to be dating Tom Brady since splitting from Braxton Berrios – shared that she enjoys watching The Bachelor series, saying, “I do like watching them.”
Alix isn’t looking for a relationship on the show, but other potential candidates have emerged. Recently, Travis Kelce’s former girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, playfully campaigned to be the next star of the series by posting a video on social media inspired by comedian Jason Banks.
In a TikTok video posted on March 25th, she shared a bit about herself, saying she plays professional football for the Dallas Cowboys, is a veteran of the Army from Minnesota, and jokingly claimed to be Spider-Man and a runner-up in the Miss America competition.
Kayla jokingly suggested she’d be perfect for the next season of The Bachelorette, sharing a clip and tagging ABC with a message asking if they needed a replacement.
Although the fitness influencer’s audition seemed lighthearted, Rachel Lindsay—the first Black lead on The Bachelor in 2017—has recently argued that the show should focus on more genuine potential partners.
She speculated it could be another cast member from Mormon Wife, telling Eyal Booker and Lonnie Marts on the March 26th episode of the Hot Goss podcast, “Why not a Housewife? I really love everything Bravo!”
The 40-year-old even had some specific picks in mind.
“I nominate Ashley Darby,” she suggested, “Heather Gay or Adriana [De Moura] from Miami.”
As fans wonder what’s next for The Bachelor franchise, here’s the latest on former Bachelorette stars…
After six weeks of dates filled with luxury – like hot tubs and champagne – Trista Rehn, a physical therapist from Miami, got engaged to Ryan Sutter, a handsome firefighter. Trista first learned about the ABC dating show while watching television.
After months of secret meetings – she remembered he even traveled with an escort and had to disguise himself with a wig, as she told TopMob News in 2022 – their unusual relationship culminated in a televised wedding in December 2003.
The very first Bachelorette’s engagement was met with skepticism. Because the first two Bachelors hadn’t had lasting relationships with their final picks – both couples broke up within a year of the show airing – “no one had really shown that a successful relationship was possible,” Trista explained to TopMob. “But we proved everyone wrong!”
The couple, who live in Colorado and have a son named Maxwell and a daughter named Blakesley, celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in December 2023. Interestingly, they likely didn’t exchange red roses, as they’re among their least favorite flowers.
In a February 2023 interview with TopMob News, Sutter expressed his desire for a long and lasting marriage, hoping to share 72 years with his partner, just like his grandparents did. He explained that he loves his partner deeply, enjoys building a life together, and values him as his closest friend, hoping their relationship will continue to flourish.
Looking back, even though Ian McKee and I were really falling for each other, his 2004 proposal still surprised me! I shared with Good Morning America that I honestly wasn’t anticipating a ring just yet. Sadly, we ended up calling off our engagement about a year later.
I’ve been following her story for years, and it’s just heartbreaking. She’s revealed that, over a decade after her season ended, she was sexually assaulted by a masseuse while she was still on the show. It’s especially tough because this came to light after her marriage to, and subsequent divorce from, her high school sweetheart, Michael Broady.
In a 2018 podcast interview with Steve Carbone of Reality Steve, Phillips explained that the woman he hired for a massage unexpectedly offered him a pill. He initially thought it was a common pain reliever like aspirin or Tylenol to help with muscle tension, but quickly realized it was something else entirely.
Phillips’ last clear memory is of a woman undressing and joining him in the bathtub, where she massaged his back and other areas inappropriately. He then recalls being put to bed and waking up naked, with little else remembered.
Phillips explained she kept quiet about what happened for years, oddly enough, because she didn’t want to harm the show’s reputation. Representatives from ABC and Warner Bros. Television, the production company, have not responded to her statements.
After demonstrating her independence by buying her own flowers, Schefft ended her engagement with Andrew Firestone (from season three of The Bachelor) in 2003. She also broke up with both Jerry Ferris and John Paul Merritt around the same time.
Shortly after finishing her book, Better Single Than Sorry, her decision to remain independent led to a happy surprise: she met her future husband, Joe Waterman, a trader, on a blind date. They eventually settled down near Cleveland with their daughters, Mae and Charlotte. She then asked her audience if they’d be interested in a 35-episode podcast called From The Bachelor To The Burbs.
After being unexpectedly rejected on Brad Womack’s season of The Bachelor, Georgia native Jenni Croft completely turned things around. In 2008, she became The Bachelorette and ultimately accepted a marriage proposal from snowboarder Jesse Csincsak.
She confessed to TopMob News in 2022 that the period after getting engaged was surprisingly hard. She realized she’d chosen someone she wasn’t really compatible with – he was an early-rising snowboard enthusiast, and she strongly disliked both snowboarding and the cold, preferring to stay up late. When he visited her in Georgia, he was miserable in the heat. Ultimately, she was surprised by how upset he seemed when they ended their relationship.
In a surprising turn of events, the flight attendant revealed in January 2023 that she was ending her 11-year marriage to Stephen Stagliano. Stephen’s brother, Michael Stagliano, was a contestant on The Bachelorette with Jillian Harris.
Dealing with a challenging new phase of life, including a custody dispute and her commitment to staying sober, Pappas has been sharing a lot about her children, Addison and Austin, on social media. She also thanked her friends, calling them her saviors in difficult situations, like when they helped her avoid a confrontation with someone on the street.
After a family trip to Hawaii in July 2025, she shared how much she enjoyed creating special memories with her two children, calling them the most important people in her life.
Before many other contestants faced public scrutiny, Ed Swiderski, who received the final rose from Harris, was considered the show’s villain. Their engagement ended in 2010 after months of cheating rumors, which he denied.
Oh my god, she finally said it! She admitted he was so wrong for her, but you know what? She tried, she really did, because she was head-over-heels! Apparently, Ed just wasn’t… genuine. And it wasn’t just that, he didn’t really have a family, or at least wasn’t close to them, and he didn’t even bother with my girl’s family or friends! Honestly, they just didn’t see eye-to-eye on anything, he lacked patience, wasn’t the sweet type… she basically said there wasn’t a single thing about him that would have made them work. It’s so sad, but honestly, it’s good she finally realized it!
She eventually found the perfect partner in Justin Pasutto, whom she describes as one of the most wonderful people she knows. He proposed on Christmas morning in 2016, just as she’d always hoped. In June 2023, they celebrated their 11th anniversary, and Justin shared a heartfelt message about the woman who stole his heart, his life partner, and the mother of their two children, Leo and Annie. He expressed his gratitude for their love and excitement for their future together.
The couple is planning a grand wedding, similar to the flower-filled farm celebration they envision for August 2025. “We spent eight years planning, and we’re making it a truly special event,” she told People magazine. “It feels like a fairy tale come true, and I’m so glad we waited to create the perfect day we’ve always wanted.”
Jenna Fedotowsky’s relationship with Roberto Martinez, which began when she worked at Facebook, appeared to be a good one at first. However, they eventually realized they were more unhappy than happy and decided to end things in 2011. Fedotowsky told TopMob News that it was the first time she truly felt content with herself and enjoyed being single.
It turns out the producers of the TV show 1st Look played a role in bringing this couple together! A staff member introduced TV personality to her future husband, Kevin Manno. Manno explained to TopMob News in 2013, when they first appeared on the red carpet, that they had been friends for a long time and their relationship simply blossomed. They married in 2017 and now have two children: a daughter named Molly and a son named Riley.
Things were looking great for the cheerful pediatric dentist after she married construction manager J.P. Rosenbaum in 2012. They got married a year and a half after he proposed to her on the TV show The Bachelorette in Fiji, making her only the second lead from the show to actually marry the man she chose.
Eight years and two children—a son named Ford and a daughter named Essie—after finding love on The Bachelor, the couple surprised fans by admitting their marriage hadn’t been perfect. Several months after announcing their separation in 2020, Hebert shared that she had started dating Yanni Georgoulakis, the founder of Foody Fetish.
Following Brad Womack’s season, the show chose a single mother—who had tragically lost her fiancé, race car driver Ricky Henrick, in a plane crash shortly before discovering she was pregnant with their daughter, Ricki—to be the next Bachelorette in 2012. She accepted a proposal from entrepreneur Jef Holm, but they broke up a few months later.
She met her now-husband, Tyler Johnson, at church in Charlotte, North Carolina – it’s where she found the answer to her prayers.
In 2022, Tyler and Rebecca Johnson shared the wonderful news of their son Jones West Johnson’s birth on Instagram. Following the arrival of their other children – Jennings, Gibson, Gatlin, and Magnolia – they revealed that Jones was born with Down syndrome. While unexpected, they expressed a deep sense of peace and faith, believing Jones will be a blessing to their family.
Their family is getting bigger! In August 2025, Ricki shared the exciting news that she’s expecting a baby.
She was definitely upset when Brooks Forester left, but in the end, the bridal stylist chose to pursue a relationship with Chris Siegfried, a mortgage broker who also writes poetry.
Almost two years after proposing to Desiree Hartsock with a four-carat Neil Lane diamond on her season’s finale in May 2013, the couple began their life together. They held their wedding reception at the Redondo Beach Historic Library, and the bride requested one thing: no red roses, as they weren’t her favorite flower, she told Us Weekly.
Things are going well for her and her boyfriend, Siegfried. In a May 2023 Instagram post, she playfully admitted that despite being a cliché, they really balance each other out. She explained that his strengths cover where she’s weak, and vice versa – she’s more reserved while he loves being around people, she avoids conflict while he rushes to resolve it, and she focuses on the big picture while he pays attention to the details.
The couple, who live in Oregon, are continuing to grow their family. They already have two sons, Asher and Zander, and welcomed a new baby, Noah, in November 2024. The mother shared on Instagram that Noah is incredibly sweet and looks a lot like his older brothers.
Oh my gosh, I still remember when she accepted Josh’s proposal on the show! She said she didn’t just think he was the one, she knew it, like 100 percent! I was SO happy for them. But then…it all fell apart. It was so sad. She told Chris Harrison they both realized they didn’t make each other better people, which just…broke my heart. I was obsessed with them, and it was just awful to see it end.
In her 2016 book, It’s Not Okay: Turning Heartbreak Into Happily Never After, she alleged he was emotionally and verbally abusive. He dismissed these claims as ridiculous.
The author married Blaine Hart, a commercial real estate agent, in Italy in May 2023. They had first met over 15 years prior and reconnected there in 2021. In December 2024, they welcomed their daughter, Harper.
The former reality TV star believes her time on the show was the beginning of her relationship with Hart. She told TopMob News that if she hadn’t been on the show, she wouldn’t have made the moves to New York and Los Angeles, and she wouldn’t have been in Italy when she met Blaine. Essentially, she feels the show indirectly led her to where she is today.
For the former dancer, who briefly shared the spotlight with Britt Nilsson, and trainer Shawn Booth, the 2015 finale of the show wasn’t very suspenseful. The founder of BC Gym recently shared on the Austin AF podcast, “I honestly never doubted it for a second. I always felt confident she was going to choose me.”
Even though Ashley Bristowe and her fiancé were engaged for three years, she realized much earlier that the relationship wasn’t going to last. She admitted on the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast in 2019 that she’d known for a year it wouldn’t work and had already started to feel like she was mourning the loss of the relationship.
When Ashley Bristowe interviewed Jason Tartick, a former contestant on Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette, on her podcast Off the Vine some time later, she quickly recovered from her earlier tears. She admitted their relationship moved quickly, but said it felt right for both of them at the time. The couple became engaged in 2021, but ultimately called off their wedding plans in 2023.
Since then, people have speculated that Bristowe was dating Tayshia Adams’ former fiancé, Zac Clark. While she keeps her current dating life private, Bristowe told TopMob News in 2025 that dating can be difficult.
I’m very self-reliant, so when I begin a relationship, I tend to suggest keeping things casual and maintaining separate lives, maybe only seeing each other on weekends. My therapist has pointed out this is how I deal with vulnerability and avoid getting too close.
After getting engaged in 2016, Jordan Rodgers, a real estate developer and former football player, made a bet. Many people doubted their relationship would last, so he promised TopMob News he’d do 1,000 jumping jacks wearing only a man thong if they broke up within a year.
As it turned out, Rodgers wasn’t needed to play after all. While they almost returned the Neil Lane diamond ring they received (“We faced a lot of challenges,” Fletcher explained), they did get married in May 2022 after six years together and several postponements due to COVID-19. “It feels different knowing you’re married,” Fletcher told TopMob News. “You have a lifelong partner who will always be there for you.”
After facing some challenges, they’re looking forward to brighter days ahead. The expectant mother announced her pregnancy on Instagram in August 2025, sharing, “We already love you so much, our sweet rainbow baby!” She also revealed the baby, named Rodgers, is due in January 2026.
Although she said yes to Bryan Abasolo’s proposal at a beautiful vineyard in Spain, the attorney felt her happy moment was ruined by unnecessary drama. People seemed to suggest she only got engaged to Bryan because Peter Kraus hadn’t proposed to her first.
In a later essay for New York Magazine, she explained that the way her season ended made it appear she chose Bryan only because Peter couldn’t meet her needs. She felt the public didn’t see the love story she deserved.
Currently, the author of Miss Me With That and Real Love, based in Los Angeles, is starting a new phase of her life. She announced her divorce in January 2024. After a year of legal proceedings, the podcaster – who co-hosts Higher Learning with Van Lathan – agreed to pay her spouse a one-time settlement of $500,000, as stated in court documents.
She shared in January 2025 on the show Higher Learning that she was thankful to be divorced, joking that she needed a celebratory, freeing song.
Garrett Yrigoyen, a medical sales representative, arrived in a minivan and said he wanted to be a great father. He quickly won over the publicist with a first impression rose and eventually proposed to her on the show’s 2018 finale.
Becca Kufrin supported her fiancé when he apologized for liking offensive posts targeting transgender people. However, the death of George Floyd led to difficult conversations between them. Kufrin questioned what she valued and whether their relationship could withstand their differing viewpoints. Eventually, they decided to end their engagement months later.
Becca Kufrin found lasting love after multiple appearances in the Bachelor franchise. Following engagements with Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Garrett Yrigoyen, she surprised everyone by proposing to her Bachelor in Paradise co-star, Thomas Jacobs, in May 2022. He reciprocated the proposal in October of that same year.
After welcoming their son, Benny, in September 2023, the couple married at a courthouse. They are planning a larger wedding celebration and are also expecting another child to join their family.
She told TopMob News in June 2024 that Thomas immediately wanted to try for another baby after Benny was born. She responded by saying she needed time to recover and wanted to savor the time with their new son.
Before the 2019 finale aired, the former pageant queen sent Jed Wyatt home after questioning his motives – specifically, whether he had a girlfriend. Jed later explained on Bachelor Happy Hour that while he was dating Haley Stevens before the show, they weren’t officially exclusive, stating, “If I was in a relationship, I wouldn’t have gone on a dating show. I don’t consider myself a cheater.”
Although Brown and runner-up Tyler Cameron initially seemed like a good match, their connection lost steam when Gigi Hadid expressed interest in him as well.
After a short-lived relationship with Peter Weber, author of God Bless This Mess, Hannah Brown found lasting love with model Adam Woolard. In a 2023 birthday post, she shared, “I love doing life with you! Whether we’re traveling the world or cooking dinner at home, everything is more fun with you.”
She brought him as her date to her brother Patrick Brown’s wedding in September 2022—a wedding attended by Wyatt’s ex-girlfriend, Stevens. She later shared on Instagram, “I’ve realized my life is full of surprises, but it definitely makes for an interesting—and strange—story.”
The latest chapter saw her and Woolard marrying in a July 2025 French ceremony.
Clare Crawley’s relationship with Dale Moss progressed incredibly quickly, even for The Bachelor. Just four episodes into her 2020 season, Crawley – who was a runner-up on Juan Pablo Galavis’ season in 2014 – accepted Moss’s proposal. She told producers they shared an instant, undeniable connection, saying, “It feels like I’ve known him forever.” She explained that this rare chemistry couldn’t be faked or replicated, and it was remarkable to feel so close to someone after knowing them for such a short time.
After briefly reconciling following a split in January 2021, the salon owner from Sacramento ended her relationship with Moss for good. Then, just a month after publicly confirming her relationship with Ryan Dawkins, CEO of Mascot Sports, he proposed to her at the RiSE Festival in Las Vegas last September.
After hinting to TopMob News that she wanted a small wedding, Crawley married Dawkins in February at the California State Capitol, where they first met. She later told TopMob, “I realized the person I love was close to home all along.”
After their daughter Rowen was born in January 2024, the couple finalized one last thing: a simple wedding in Las Vegas. According to Crawley, it was mostly for paperwork. “Whether we had a marriage certificate or not, we’re committed and deeply in love,” she explained to TopMob News.
After getting engaged to Zac Clark following her short season with Dale Moss, Tayshia Adams moved to New York to start a life with him. Clark told TopMob News they were excited to begin their journey together, saying a one-way ticket to New York was a great first step. They planned to build on the strong connection they’d already formed and hoped to celebrate with a large party in 2022.
In December 2021, shortly after completing the New York City marathon as a couple, Adams revealed that she and her partner had broken up. While co-hosting The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All with Bristowe, she explained they had given the relationship their best effort and that she still cared for him deeply, but wasn’t sure what the future held.
Could a new romance be blossoming? Fans are buzzing about a possible connection between actress Glen Powell (known from The GOAT) and Luke Gulbranson of Summer House after a photo surfaced of them holding hands with friends. Powell hopes her followers will understand why she prefers to keep her personal life private.
She told TopMob News that she wants to protect a certain part of her journey and allow it to develop naturally over time.
Okay, so after a seriously DRAMATIC end to her season – can you believe Greg and Michael BOTH left?! – she actually said YES to Blake! I was SO relieved. I mean, it wasn’t my first choice, but honestly, after everything, I was just happy she found someone! I’ve been following her journey forever, and seeing her engaged… it’s everything!
She excitedly told him, ‘I realized right then that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you,’ as she gave him the final boutonnière. ‘It’s always been you.’ But just a few months later, in October, they announced they were breaking up.
Luckily, she can now see the humor in it all. Thurston is finding success as a stand-up comedian, and she often jokes about her experience on the show. She recently shared a funny story about how the producers tried to convince her to stay longer, promising more screen time, Instagram followers, and even a romantic connection. But she playfully responded that she preferred to go home.
Following her split from John Hersey, who she met on The Bachelorette, Gabby Thurston married comedian Jeff Arcuri in March 2025. He has been a strong support for her as she fights breast cancer and encouraged them to have their wedding sooner than planned.
She told Us Weekly that his actions were a really sweet display of commitment, showing he truly means ‘in sickness and in health.’ It really proved to her that he’s dedicated to the relationship for the long haul.
After eliminating basketball player Joe Coleman and Brandon Jones (who later appeared on Bachelor in Paradise), the elementary school teacher received a proposal—and a Neil Lane engagement ring—from Nayte Olukoya, a sales executive from Texas. They also received a $200,000 check from the show’s producers to help with the down payment on a house.
Young and Olukoya ended their relationship after six months, following the conclusion of their season in December 2021. While they experienced many disagreements and struggled to connect, as Young shared with Nick Viall on The Viall Files, Olukoya admitted that breaking up without an in-person conversation wasn’t the right thing to do.
By June 2023, as she turned thirty, Young had almost forgotten the boy who had ended their relationship with a phone call. Reflecting on entering a new decade of life, she shared some lessons she’d learned, including the importance of being around people who will support and uplift you, even when you’re feeling down.
Friends and family gathered to celebrate sales consultant Jack Leius and his fiancée’s upcoming wedding in June 2025. She shared on The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast that she and Jack, a graduate of Minnesota State University, had been close to meeting several times before they finally connected, saying that it’s common for people to cross paths with their future partner many times without even realizing it.
Although her engagement to Erich Schwer didn’t last long after the 2022 season finale – they broke up in November – many people were still happy to see her close friendship with Rachel Recchia.
The ICU nurse explained that she and her ex-partner, Schwer, simply weren’t compatible. They had different goals and different ways of looking at life, which ultimately led to their breakup. She shared this while competing on Dancing With the Stars, where she finished in second place. Basically, they weren’t a good fit for each other.
Recently, after finishing the “Dancing With the Stars” tour in March 2023, she quickly started a new chapter. Less than two years after publicly confirming her relationship with comedian Robby Hoffman, the star of “The Traitors” announced they had secretly gotten married in Las Vegas.
Okay, so it sounds totally crazy, but our wedding seriously felt like an episode of The Bachelor – roses were everywhere! I honestly never even pictured my wedding day growing up, but that’s what made it feel so… perfect. Being there, in that moment, it just felt so completely us. It was magical, honestly!
The pilot’s relationship with general contractor Tino Franco hit a snag when he kissed someone else while their season of the show was still being broadcast. He later admitted on the podcast The Viall Files that he deeply regrets his actions. “I was completely wrong, and it wasn’t fair to Rachel,” he said. “I still feel ashamed and wish I could go back and do things differently.”
Currently, Recchia is focused on the present and future. While she briefly reconnected with Clayton Echard on the 2025 season of Perfect Match, their time together didn’t last.
She explained on the What’s the Reality podcast that he’s looking for someone who’s very active and into weightlifting, which just isn’t her. “I prefer to travel, shop, and relax at a bar,” she said. “I’m more of a ‘hot girl walk’ kind of person.”
Dropping to one knee, Dr. Dotun Olubeko, an integrative medicine specialist, told his partner—a child and family therapist—that their love was “perfect.” He proposed during the August 2023 finale, asking, “Will you marry me and make this a reality?”
Despite finishing fourth on Dancing With the Stars, Lawson and her partner Olubeko plan to stay together for life. They’re planning both an American wedding and a traditional Nigerian ceremony, but aren’t in a hurry. “We want the celebrations to be really special, especially considering how we met,” Lawson told People magazine in March 2025.
After competing for Joey Graziadei’s heart, Jenn Tran believed she’d found a connection with Devin Strader. However, she shared during the September 2024 After the Final Rose special that Devin became distant as soon as the show ended.
He dramatically declared his love for me, but the very next day acted like it never happened and claimed he hadn’t been in love at all,” Tran explained to Jesse Palmer. “Everything he’d promised, all the affection he’d expressed, just disappeared.
She found love while competing on Dancing With the Stars, sparking a romance with her partner, Sasha Farber, that lasted even after they were eliminated in October 2024. They eventually broke up in 2025. She then moved to Miami to focus on her studies to become a physician’s assistant, leaving behind both the relationship and Farber’s home. In July 2025, she publicly introduced her new companion: a foster cat named Penelope.
