We’re happy to report that these two actually became the first couple on “The Bachelor” to make it down the aisle! Sean Lowe, a devout Christian, proposed to graphic designer, Catherine Giudici, in Thailand, no less. The couple had a big, fancy, televised wedding on ABC.
The couple got married in January 2014, and publicly stated that they had waited until their wedding night to engage in any physical relationship. How sweet!
Now: Ben Flajnik
Ben continued as an entrepreneur and went on to co-found Fernet San Francisco, an artisanal fernet company. After breaking it off with Robertson, there were rumors that Flajnik was dating Kris Jenner. Oh, and this stud also used to date Jennifer Love Hewitt, before his 'bachelor' days.
Flajnik went on to meet now-former-girlfriend Stephanie Winn through Tinder. But apparently, they broke it off. Now officially off the market, Flajnik married a woman who is not in show business in an intimate ceremony in late 2023.
Now: Courtney Robertson
This girl certainly took her 15 minutes of fame pretty seriously. She squeezed the opportunity up until the very last drop, releasing a memoir in 2014 about her time as a villain on the reality TV show. Robertson clearly states that she didn't go on the show to make friends. The book went on to make The New York Times Best-Seller List.
After splitting up with Flajnik, Courtney started dating Arie Luyendyk, a finalist from "The Bachelorette" season 8. However, as it often happens with quick rebounds, they didn't last. Nowadays, Courtney is married to lawyer Humberto Preciado, and the two raise their family in LA.
Now: Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici
Shortly after their wedding, Sean and Catherine went on to appear on several reality TV shows, such as "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars" and "Celebrity Wife Swap" in 2015. Sean also appeared in "Dancing With the Stars."
The couple have been happily married, welcoming their first baby in 2016, their cute son Samuel who was later joined by two more siblings. The family currently resides in Texas, and they just look adorable on social media. We guess fairy tales do come true sometimes!
The Bachelor, Season 18: Juan Pablo Galavis and Nikki Ferrell
Juan Pablo Galavis, an American-born Venezuelan, was the first Latino star on "The Bachelor." He started out as a contestant on "The Bachelorette," on which he eventually went from fan fave to persona non-grata, after some offensive comments. He chose Nikki Ferell in the season finale.
However, Juan Pablo never proposed to Nikki or told her he loved her. And after a rocky, long-distance relationship, the couple broke it off in 2014, even after appearing on a season of "Couples Therapy." Though we applaud Galavis' honesty, we have to ask ourselves if this bachelor wasn't aware that honesty really isn't a big thing in show business. Sometimes, you're better off just letting things lie, dude.
