sSince The Bachelorette premiered over a decade ago, there have been more than a dozen women who looked for love on the show. But “Who’s still together from The Bachelorette?” is the real question.
The Bachelorette premiered in January 2003 with Trista Rehn as Bachelor Nation’s first-ever female lead. Trista was the runner-up on season 1 of The Bachelor with Alex Michel. And it’s a good thing that Alex didn’t pick her, as Trista (and her husband Ryan) became one of the most successful couples from the franchise. Not only are they married (the two tied the knot in Bachelor Nation’s first-ever televised wedding, we might add), but Trista and Ryan also share two beautiful children.
Since the first season of The Bachelorette, there have been many women who have given out roses on the show. While some have been success stories (such as season 13’s Rachel Lindsay and season 9’s Desiree Hartsock), there have been many Bachelorettes whose relationships just didn’t work out. (Season 15’s Hannah Brown ended her engagement to her winner, Jed Wyatt, before her finale even aired. Ouch.)
Ahead, we looked back at every couple and winner from The Bachelorette to see where they are now. Find out who’s still together.

Their breakup came after Garrett’s controversial comments about Black Lives Matter.
“I don’t think it’s going to come as a shock to anyone, but Garrett and I have decided to end our engagement,” Becca said on an episode of her podcast, “Bachelor Happy Hour,” at the time. “After many conversations, we came to this decision. It wasn’t something that we just arrived at one night. It wasn’t based solely off of one Instagram post or somebody else’s opinions or comments. There’s much more to it. To any relationship, there’s a lot of layers, and it’s not for me to divulge details. It’s no one’s business other than what I’m telling you right now.”

However, as their season aired, reports came out that Jed had a girlfriend he hadn’t broken up with yet before Hannah’s season. The news led Hannah to end their engagement, which was filmed for her season’s “After the Final Rose” special.
Season 16: Clare Crawley & Dale Moss

Status: Split
Before Clare’s season of The Bachelorette premiered in 2020, news broke that she left in the middle of the season to be with her winner, Dale. (Tayshia Adams, a runner-up from season 23 of The Bachelor, went on to replace her.) Life & Style reported at the time that Clare—the season 16 Bachelorette and Juan Pablo Galavis’ runner-up on The Bachelor season 17—had accepted Dale’s proposal and the two got engaged. “She told producers she no longer wanted to participate in the show,” a source told Life & Style at the time.
Two months after their engagement aired, however, Dale confirmed that he and Clare had split. “wanted to share with you all that Clare and I have decided to go our separate ways,” he wrote on his Instagram at the time. “we appreciate the love and support we’ve received from so many people, but this is the healthiest decision for both of us at this time.” Clare slammed him in her own post for making a “mutual” statement on her behalf. “I was made aware of a ‘mutual’ statement at the same time you all were, so I’ve needed some time to really digest this,” she wrote. “Speaking for myself, my intentions with this relationship always have been very clear, so the truth is I am crushed. This was not what I expected or hoped for and am still trying to process this.” Their breakup also came amid rumors that Dale cheated on Clare. In July 2021, Clare and Dale confirmed that they got back together and were engaged. However, the couple split once more in September 2021.
Season 16: Tayshia Adams & Zac Clark

Status: Split
Tayshia and Zac got engaged on the finale of The Bachelorette season 16 in 2020. “We have so many similarities regarding our goals in life,” Tayshia told People at the time. “I’ve never been in a relationship like this before. Our communication is phenomenal and I feel really safe with Zac. It just feels so right. And I can’t wait to experience life with him by my side.” Tayshia also confirmed that she planned to move to New York City from Los Angeles to move in with Zac.
Tayshia and Zac ended their engagement in November 2021. “Tayshia Adams and Zac Clark are no longer a couple,” a rep for Tayshia told People at the time. The confirmation came after a source told Life & Style that Tayshia and Zac had decided to take “time apart” a year after their engagement aired on The Bachelorette season 16 finale. “They’re definitely taking some time apart to figure things out,” the insider said at the time. “It doesn’t look good.” The news also came after Tayshia was seen without her engagement ring on the most recent two episodes of her podcast, “Bachelor Happy Hour.” Around that time, Tayshia also tweeted a cryptic tweet that fans believe may have been about Zac. “Trust the process,” she wrote.
Season 17: Katie Thurston & Blake Moynes

Status: Split
Katie and Blake, who was also a contestant on The Bachelorette season 16 with Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams, got engaged on the finale of The Bachelorette season 17 in 2021. In an interview with People at the time, Katie opened up about why she and Blake are the true definition of opposites attract. “We’re opposite in the kinds of movies we like — I like scary, he doesn’t,” she said at the time. “And we talked about our love languages — I’m words of affirmation and he’s physical touch, let’s be honest!”
Two months after their finale aired, Katie and Blake confirmed that they had split. “It is with mutual love and respect that we have decided to go our separate ways. We are so grateful for the moments we shared together and the entire journey that has unfolded this year, but we ultimately have concluded that we are not compatible as life partners, and it is the most caring choice for both of us to move forward independently. We ask for kindness and privacy as we both navigate this transition. Both of us will forever want the best for one another and ask you to please support us in our decision,” the former couple wrote in an Instagram statement at the time.
