New babies and a proposal: Where the most memorable contestants from The Bachelor are now.

Ten years ago, we tuned in to the first season of The Bachelor Australia to watch a bunch of strangers fall in love on national TV.

Since then, the show has brought us endless rose ceremonies, Osher Günsberg, a dirty street pie, a dog-c**t scandal, a Honey Badger, three bachelors in one season and of course, and a whole lot of drama.

But while The Bachelor might not have the best track record for lasting relationships, the show has introduced us to a bunch of Aussies who have gone on to become regular faces on reality TV (and our Instagram feeds).

Watch: Bachelor contestants: Translated. Post continues below.

We decided to take a look back at what some of our favourite contestants are doing now.

Here's where 10 of the most memorable Bachie contestants are now.

Helena Sauzier - Matt Agnew's season of The Bachelor.

Helena Sauzier might not have found love with Matt Agnew in 2019, or on Bachelor In Paradise but she did find her happy ever after eventually.

The reality star had a brief connection with fellow Paradise star Jake Ellis, until he realised he was still in love with his ex-girlfriend. 

"It's obviously sad when you realise that there's no one there for you but I had a great time," she told WHO Magazine after leaving the show.

However, it wasn't too long after that she found love with Australian competitive sailor and Olympic gold medallist Tom Slingsby, who she married just four months ago in a Sydney wedding onboard the Ghost II superyacht (yep, it's as fancy as it sounds).

Tom shared the happy news, posting on social media: "Little boy incoming. So excited for the future with [Helena] and our new addition in December."

Sophie Tieman - Nick Cummins' (aka The Honey Badger's) season of The Bachelor.

You'll no doubt remember Sophie Tieman from Nick Cummins' season of The Bachelor back in 2018. Sophie made it to the final two alongside Brittany Hockley when Nick infamously decided to choose... no one. 

Four years later in 2022, Sophie finally got the happy ending she deserves.

In April of last year, she married her fiance Joe Bolster at a private ceremony in Sydney.

After appearing on The Bachelor, Sophie returned to her day job as a commercial property valuer. 

"It wasn't until later I realised other people were applying for the next show and pitching themselves out. It just never crossed my mind."

In April 2023, the former reality star announced she is pregnant with her first child. 

"Possibly the hardest (and best) secret we have ever had to keep," she wrote on Instagram along with a photo of her ultrasound.

After making it to the final two on The Bachelor, Brittany Hockley has continued to grace our screens. 

In 2020, she appeared on Bachelor in Paradise where she hit it off with Timm Hanly, from whom she split shortly after the show.

Outside of reality TV, Brittany has kept herself busy hosting her Life Uncut podcast, alongside fellow Bachie alum Laura Byrne.

She is also an actor and appeared in her first feature film in 2022, Malibu Crush, directed by James Pratt.

"I’ve been studying acting as a hobby and passion for years, but I’ve never properly pursued it… until now," she told the Daily Mail. 

But that's not all. 

Brittany worked as an emergency radiographer, after studying a Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science specialising in Diagnostic Radiography. She has spent more than 10 years in busy hospitals around the world and has worked on the frontline during the pandemic. 

Speaking to Mamamia in March, Brittany explained she worked alongside her sister, Sheridan, every day.

"We do the same thing, so we go through it together and we have each other to lean on, debrief with and go through this process with. It makes an enormous difference to have each other."

Brooke Blurton is another fan favourite to come out of Nick Cummins' season of The Bachelor. 

A year after leaving the mansion, the proud Noongar/Yamatji woman returned to our screens for season two of Bachelor in Paradise. During her time on the show, Brooke had a brief fling with former Bachie winner Alex Nation, but ended up leaving the series within the first two weeks.

Since then, Brooke has been using her platform for good, sharing messages about her Indigenous culture on Instagram and encouraging young Indigenous women to embrace their identity. She's also started hosting the Western Australian NRL's Indigenous Round on NITV.

In 2021, Brooke was the first Indigenous and bisexual Bachelorette. She now co-hosts the podcast Not So PG and is the author of the memoir Big Love. 

She shared in 2023 that she was paid quite a bit to be part of the Bachelorette franchise. 

"It was in the six-figure mark," she told The Sydney Morning Herald. "More than some of the previous Bachelor contestants. My argument was that I wanted to be paid the same [as the men]."

Mary Viturino - Matt Agnew's season of The Bachelor.

Mary Viturino quickly became a fan favourite on Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor, thanks to her hilarious commentary.

It was a talent she put to use again during the 2021 season of Bachelor in Paradise, where she met her now partner, Conor Canning. 

Mary has a daughter from a previous relationship and in 2021, they welcomed their second daughter, Summer. A year later, in 2022, the couple had another daughter, named Luna.

Elise Stacy was the runner-up of Matty J's season of The Bachelor back in 2017.

After the finale aired, Elise told TV Week that she knew Matty wasn’t going to choose her because she could tell no-one had walked down the footpath before her.

"I’d never felt more alone in that moment," she told the publication. "I thought I’d met the love of my life.

"He made me feel like there were really strong feelings there so I do feel betrayed."

In 2021, Elise married the real love of her life Justin Kosmina, who she'd been dating since 2018.

Elise celebrated her second wedding anniversary on Instagram in April 2023, and also shared she is expecting a "Baby Kos" in August. 

"A weekend of celebrations," she wrote in a dedicated message to her husband. "2 years married to you and Baby Kos’ first fishing trip. Our little miracle joining us earth side in August and our hearts are exploding... already!"

She added their journey was a "private one with its ups and downs".

"I couldn’t post this without also sharing love to the want-to-be parents out there, I know there are many," she wrote.

"Our journey was a private one and one with its ups and downs, twists and turns. It taught us a lot... mainly patience and the ability to focus on the things you can control and the things you can’t. 

"Love, thoughts and huge hugs to anyone experiencing this, you are stronger than you know."

Fans were sad to see Tara Pavlovic sent home on Matty J's season of The Bachelor. 

The following year, Tara joined season one of Bachelor in Paradise, where she got engaged to Sam Cochrane from Sophie Monk’s season of The Bachelorette. But just months after the proposal aired, the couple split in a highly publicised and messy breakup.

In September 2019, Tara announced she was engaged to her partner Nick Shepherdson, who she had known for 10 years before they pursued a romantic relationship. The couple's wedding plans ended up getting postponed due to COVID-19, but they eventually the knot in September 2020.

Keira Maguire continued to make a name for herself after appearing on Richie Strahan's season of The Bachelor in 2016. 

Back then, Keira was edited as 'the villain' of the season and was later eliminated from the show ahead of a rose ceremony. 

The following year, Keira joined I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, swapping life in The Bachelor mansion for life in the African jungle. Unfortunately, Keira didn't make it very far in the competition and ended up being the fifth person eliminated. 

In 2018 she returned to the Bachie franchise for the first season of Bachelor in Paradise, where she won the heart of Jarrod Woodgate from Sophie Monk's season of The Bachelorette. The pair dated on and off for more than a year before calling it quits. She also appeared on the latest season of Paradise but ended up leaving the show before the finale. 

In July 2020, Keira announced she was dating Love Island star Matt Zukowski. However, after months of speculation, she confirmed the pair had split in an Instagram story. 

In the post, Keira uploaded a screenshot of a DM she received from a fan asking, "Where has Matt gone…"

"For everyone asking, Matt and I are no longer together," she replied. "We are still good friends, I still love and adore him as a friend. I want nothing but the best for him. He deserves nothing but the best."

Our hearts broke when Nikki Gogan was sent home from The Bachelor mansion in 2016. 

Nikki made it to the final of Richie Strahan's season but ended up being sent home when Richie chose Alex Nation. The winning pair later split after the show wrapped.

Following the controversial finale, Nikki explained how it felt to watch the episode back with her sister, Dani. 

"I had all the emotions. The tears were flowing. I can laugh about it as well, but it’s still raw," she told Who magazine at the time.

"I wanted to do forever with this guy,” she said, adding of Richie’s relationship with Alex, “I need them to work."

The Perth real estate agent is now engaged to her boyfriend of five years, Bill Coe. And based on her Instagram photo, the couple look very happy together!

"It took me a while to get back to normal, it took me a good year to get back to feeling good."

These days, Lana looks to be living her best life.
