Past Bachelors & Bachelorettes


 (from iVillage.com- Jennifer Graham Kizer)
Here are most of the Bachelors and Bachelorettes from past seasons. I got the information from an article at iVillage.com





 Ashley Hebert& J.P. Rosenbaum

THE BACHELORETTE, season 7 (2011): Ashley, a dental student, was on Brad Womack’s season. She got sent home but after Brad’s season was over, she got her second chance at love. On her season of The Bachelorette, she received two proposals -- one from season 16's Bachelor, Ben Flajnik, and one from her true love, J.P. Rosenbaum. Ashley and J.P. are getting ready to celebrate the one-year anniversary of their engagement and are currently planning a move from New York City to suburban New Jersey. During After the Final Rose, they revealed to Chris Harrison that they are hoping to get married within the year.






Brad Womack
THE BACHELOR, season 15 (2011): This notorious bachelor from season 11 returned four years later to redeem himself! Brad ended his first season by rejecting both of his final two girls. But with his second chance at love, the Texan was determined to find a wife. He ended up proposing to single mom Emily Maynard -- but by the After the Final Rose special, it was clear there was already trouble in paradise. The two were on-and-off before the constant paparazzi attention and tabloid rumors finally got the best of them and they broke up in June. 





Ali Fedotowsky

THE BACHELORETTE, season 6 (2010): Fan favorite of Jake Pavelka’s season of the Bachelor, Ali Fedotowsky , who left Jake for her career during his season of The Bachelor. But when it was her turn to run the show, Ali was ready to focus fully on love. Her open heart led her to sweet and sultry baseball player/insurance agent Roberto Martinez, and the they got engaged on the show's finale. The two seemed crazy about each other as they moved in together in San Diego, but after pushing back their wedding date a handful of times, their 18-month engagement ended in November. Shortly after the split, Fedowtowsky told People, "We definitely had been having problems. But I had always believed that we could work it out."









Jake Pavelka
THE BACHELOR ("On the Wings of Love"), season 14, (2010): Strong, sensitive pilot -- and Bachelorette season 5 reject -- Jake Pavelka stunned everybody when he became more and more attracted to the most hated girl in the house Vienna Girardi. In the weeks leading up to the finale, tabloids ran reports defaming Vienna and rehashing scandals in her past but Jake proposed anyway. Their roller-coaster romance didn't last long, and the two were soon back on ABC for The Bachelor Breakup, which aired July 5. Jake screamed, Vienna cried (and infamously called Jake a "fame whore") and ratings soared.
The two faced off once again during season 2 of Bachelor Pad, where Vienna and her new boyfriend Kasey Kahl (from Ali Fedowtosky's season) made a whole new set of enemies as they schemed their way to the no. 2 spot in the competition.






Jillian Harris

THE BACHELORETTE, season 5 (2009): Interior designer Jillian Harris was sent home by Jason Mesnick during The Bachelor, season 13. But her bubbly Canadian self had better luck as star of her own Bachelorette season. She ultimately fielded three marriage proposals -- from Ed Swiderski, Kiptyn Locke and Reid Rosenthal (who made surprise reappearance in the finale, despite being rejected after the hometown dates). Jillian chose Ed, and they moved to Chicago to start planning their wedding. But, like many before them, their romance headed south, and they ended it in July 2010.










            Jason Mesnick

THE BACHELOR, season 13 (2009): Account executive and single dad Jason Mesnick first appeared on The Bachelorette in pursuit of DeAnna Pappas, who spurned his marriage proposal. Showing up in a new season of The Bachelor, Jason shocked fans when he committed the biggest flip-flop in the show's history. After proposing to former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Melissa Rycroft, he dumped her (while cameras rolled) during the After the Final Rose episode hosted by Chris Harrison. Jaws were still on the floor when, moments later, Jason asked runner-up Molly Malaney for a second chance. Jason and Molly got married. It was a happy (rain-soaked) ceremony that aired on ABC in 2010. Rycroft ended up having the fairy-tale ending she deserved when she married Tye Strickland in 2009, and the two welcomed baby girl Ava Grace last February.



DeAnna Pappas
THE BACHELORETTE, season 4 (2008): Real estate broker DeAnna Pappas was one of the two beauties rejected by Brad Womack on The Bachelor (season 11) finale. As star of her own Bachelorette season, she fell for pro snowboarder Jesse Csincsak, who proposed in the finale. The couple called off their engagement within months, but this didn't stop DeAnna from finding love within The Bachelor family. In October, the southern belle married Stephen Stagliano, twin brother of Bachelor Pad and Bachelorette contestant (from Jillian Harris' season), Michael.















Matt Grant

THE BACHELOR ("London Calling"), season 12 (2008): The ultimate swinging singles' series signed up charming British financier Matt Grant for a season capped by his proposal to over-the-moon Shayne Lamas (an L.A. actress and daughter of Lorenzo Lamas). Within weeks, Shayne caused a media stir when she appeared in a racy, nearly nude photo spread in Girls Gone Wild magazine. Though the photos surprised Matt, he told People magazine,”I stand by Shayne 110 percent." But less than three months after his proposal, the duo broke up. In April 2010, Shayne made headlines again by eloping in Vegas with someone she'd just met, blogger Nik Richie. The two -- who have lasted longer than many Bachelor couples –welcomed a baby girl in November. 













Andy Baldwin


THE BACHELOR ("Officer and a Gentleman"), season 10 (2007): In this finale episode, Andy Baldwin -- naval officer, ironman tri-athlete and doctor -- proposed to Tessa Horst, a San Francisco-based social worker. Andy had told reporters that Tessa would soon join him at his naval post in Hawaii, but by July, they'd called off the engagement. "With the possibility of reassignment to a new location, we decided it was not the ideal time for Tessa to uproot herself and move out [to Hawaii] right now," Andy told People. He briefly dated Donald Trump’s ex Marla Maples the following year.








Prince Lorenzo Borghese

THE BACHELOR, season 9 (2006): After episodes filmed in Rome, Prince Lorenzo Borghese -- an Italian royal who grew up in Connecticut and became an entrepreneur (of pet products and cosmetics) -- made his ultimate choice just two hours before his final rose ceremony. He sent home publicist Sadie Murray and gave the rose (but not a ring) to schoolteacher Jennifer Wilson. Lorenzo and Jennifer broke up in January 2007, after which Lorenzo rekindled a romance with Sadie, who reportedly relocated to be near him in New York City, according to gossip going around.. But the two also split within a few months.






Travis Stork

THE BACHELOR, season 8 (2006): Set in Paris, this season starred Nashville ER doc Travis Lane Stork, who ultimately fell for a fellow Nashvillian: kindergarten teacher Sarah Stone. But after filming ended, the required separation (ABC sequesters the lovebirds until the finale airs) fractured their bond. "You’re forced to pretend you don’t know someone for essentially the last four months," Stork told the Associated Press. “The reality is that we were in this fantasy world. And now that we’re back in Nashville, over time when you’re not allowed to see someone, you grow apart.” Dr. Stork now stars as the lead host of the daytime medical series The Doctors.
