10 Times Celebrities Dated ‘Bachelor’ Franchise Stars (PHOTOS)
Chris Lane and Lauren Bushnell
Though things didn’t work out with Bachelor star Ben Higgins, Lauren Bushnell has found her happily ever after with country singer Chris Lane. The pair have been friends for awhile, but they made their official debut as a couple at the BMI Country Music Awards back in November 2018. Chris recently popped the question to Lauren while visiting her hometown of West Linn, Oregon in June and she said yes!
Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams
Former Bachelorette star Wells Adams slid into the Modern Family actress’ DMs back in 2017 and well, the rest is history. Wells and Sarah officially started dating in September 2017 and have been inseparable ever since. In fact, they recently got engaged while on vacation in Fiji and are planning their nuptials.
January Jones and Nick Viall
Longtime Bachelor fan January Jones has not been shy about her love of the show, so it’s no surprise Nick Viall reportedly capitalized on her affection back in January 2018. Rumors began swirling that the couple was dating around this time, but just a few months later both Nick and January confirmed they were single.
Gigi Hadid and Tyler Cameron
It’s happening, people! A few weeks after supermodel Gigi Hadid followed Tyler Cameron on Instagram, the pair was spotted getting drinks together at Soho House in Brooklyn on Sunday, August 4. While this doesn’t necessarily mean they’re dating, it is clear they’re both interested in one another.
Aly Raisman and Colton Underwood
Before he became the Bachelor, Colton Underwood dated Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman. The couple got together following the 2016 Olympics, but ended up calling it quits less than a year later. Though Colton is happily dating Cassie Randolph, we’ll never forget his time with Aly.
Scheana Shay and Robby Hayes
We don’t know if we can say Scheana Shay and Robby Hayes ever officially dated, but they definitely had a fling. In fact, their flirtation was even documented on Vanderpump Rules. They’re no longer a thing, but they are still buddies.
Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ben Flajnick
After things didn’t work out with Courtney Robertson, former Bachelor star Ben Flajnick found himself on a date with Jennifer Love Hewitt back in 2011. In fact, they were spotted having dinner together in San Francisco, but it doesn’t sound like their relationship moved past the first date stage.
Lucy Aragon and Evan Spiegel
Long before Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel married Miranda Kerr, he went out with former Bachelor contestant Lucy Aragon! Lucy and Evan dated from 2013 to 2014, but called it quits after a year together.
Jesse Metcalfe and Courtney Robertson
According to Courtney Robertson’s book, I Didn’t Come Here to Make Friends, she actually dated actor Jesse Metcalfe before she went on The Bachelor. They even attended the 2005 Emmy Awards together, but broke up shortly afterwards.
Demi Lovato and Mike Johnson
Demi Lovato has not been shy when it comes to her crush on Bachelorette star Mike Johnson. In fact, the singer frequently posted about Mike on Instagram Stories. If Mike doesn’t become The Bachelor, we recommend he pull a Wells Adams and slide in those DMs!
It’s no secret former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants are constantly dating within the franchise, but every once and a while, one of them snags a date with a celebrity outside of Bachelor Nation.
With the recent news of Hannah Brown‘s Bachelorette runner-up Tyler Cameron going on a date with supermodel Gigi Hadid, we’re taking a look back at some of these pairings. From TV stars to singers to Olympic athletes, these Bachelor Nation alums have had relationships with some pretty high-profile stars. Not to mention, a couple pairs are even heading down the aisle!
