Bachelor and Bachelorette Couples: Who’s Still Together and Who Has Split?
by Madelyn ChungAnother one bites the dust!
Bachelor couple Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell announced their split on Monday in a joint statement to People magazine.
“It is with heavy hearts that we announce our decision to go our separate ways,” said the pair, who were engaged for a year. “We feel fortunate for the time we had together, and will remain friends with much love and respect for one another. We wish nothing but the best for each other, and ask for your support and understanding at this time.”
The breakup didn’t come as a big surprise, however, with Higgins announcing he wanted to put their wedding on hold in an episode of their reality TV series, Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After?. Bushnell has also alluded to her “rocky relationship” with the former Bachelor, and the couple have been noticeably absent from each other’s social media pages for quite some time now.
Ben and Lauren are one of the many Bachelor nation couples who have called it quits, which leads us to wonder, who has actually lasted and maintained a good relationship?
Take a look back at all of the Bachelor, Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise couples below to see where their relationships stand.
