Bachelor and Bachelorette Contestants Who Discovered Love Post-Show
Several stars from Bachelor and Bachelorette found greater success in love outside the reality dating series, discovering their forever partners away from the spotlight.
Ali Fedotowsky and Emily Maynard are two former leads who parted ways with their final choices, only to find true love after their time on the show.
“I went on the show for a good time. I didn’t go on for love,” Fedotowsky shared with Us Weekly in 2019. “Nobody goes on the show for love, and then they’re just surprised when they actually do fall in love. They go on there thinking, ‘This could be fun.’”
Although she was briefly engaged to Roberto Martinez, the couple split, and Fedotowsky later found happiness with her now-husband Kevin Manno, with whom she has two children.
On the other hand, Maynard married Tyler Johnson in June 2014, and they have welcomed five children together. (Maynard’s eldest child, daughter Ricki, is from her late fiancé Ricky Hendrick.)
