There are just nine couples — not counting Bachelor in Paradise — who have proved haters wrong and shown the world that you can find love on reality TV.
Chances are slim, but not impossible. So, who are the lucky couples?
First, we’ll start with The Bachelor…
Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney (‘The Bachelor’ Season 13)
Although Jason and Molly did not get engaged during a Bachelor finale, we’re going to include them because their long marriage is pretty inspiring. Not only did Jason dump his first pick and fan favorite, Melissa Rycroft, for Molly on live TV, but the couple tied the knot on national television in 2010, too.
Today, Jason and Molly are the proud parents of their daughter, Riley Ann, and Jason’s son from a previous marriage, Ty.

Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham (‘The Bachelor’ Season 22)
Just like Jason Mesnick, Arie also dumped his first pick — Becca Kufrin — and went back with his runner-up, Lauren.
So far, it seems that Arie made the right decision. Not only did Ari and Lauren tie the knot in 2019, but they also welcomed daughter Alessi just a few months after their Hawaiian nuptials. In June 2021, Lauren gave birth to twins Lux and Senna.
Don’t feel too bad for Becca, though. She found love with Thomas Jacobs on Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise.
