From the franchise’s earliest seasons through more recent installments, several couples turned their televised proposals into lasting marriages that have even crossed the decade milestone.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the Bachelor<\/i> couples who have made it to 10 years of marriage – or more:<\/p>\n

Few Bachelor<\/i> love stories were as chaotic as Jason Mesnick and Molly Maleney’s ended up being. After being rejected by DeAnna Pappas on season 4 of The Bachelorette<\/i> in 2008, Jason was named the season 13 lead. He initially proposed to Melissa Rycroft, then famously changed his mind during the “After the Final Rose” taping in March 2009 to pursue runner-up Molly<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Melissa is a great girl, but there wasn’t any chemistry,” Jason told Us<\/i> at the time. “So I broke up with her after Christmas, about a month after we wrapped. Obviously, I didn’t want it all on TV, but I had to take the chance if it meant getting [Molly] back. I’d rather have picked up the phone, trust me!”<\/p>\n

He proposed to Molly in October 2009. The couple wed in 2010 before welcoming daughter Riley. (Jason is also father of son Ty from a pre-Bachelor relationship.)<\/p>\n

The Bachelor Pad<\/i> season 2 winners got married in 2012 and faced a long road to parenthood. After a possible endometriosis diagnosis, unsuccessful IVF and IUI treatments and two pregnancy losses with a surrogate, Holly and Blake adopted baby Poppy in September 2019 through an open adoption.<\/p>\n

“She’s just so perfect,” Holly told Us<\/i> exclusively<\/span><\/a> in October 2019. “She’s so healthy and sweet, and it’s just been the greatest thing that’s ever happened to us.”<\/p>\n

The couple connected with Poppy’s birth mother through Instagram after being on a South Carolina agency waitlist since November 2018. Holly and Blake welcomed baby No. 2, son Knox, in 2023.<\/p>\n

Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert met on season 2 of Bachelor in Paradise<\/i> in 2015 after appearing on Chris Soules’ Bachelor<\/i> and Kaitlyn Bristowe’s Bachelorette<\/i> seasons, respectively. Tanner proposed during the September 2015 finale, and they married in a televised ceremony <\/span><\/a>that aired in January 2016.<\/p>\n

“I spent more time with Tanner in two days than I did with Chris Soules in seven weeks, you know?” Jade exclusively told Us<\/i> in April 2021.<\/p>\n

The Kansas City-based couple share daughter Emerson and sons Brooks and Reed. Jade later revealed in 2023 that she suffered a miscarriage and named their stillborn son Beau.<\/p>\n
