'We are not currently in a relationship.' Everything that's happened since The Bachelors finale.

It's been just over two weeks since The Bachelors wrapped up. And honestly, we deserve a medal for getting through that rollercoaster of a season. 

But while we may have watched the bachelors ride off into the sunset with their chosen ladies during the finale, the drama is far from over friends. 

In the weeks following the finale, the remaining three couples have confirmed if they have gone the distance (and by this I mean, managed to stay together for the few short months since filming wrapped) or gone their separate ways.

Here's a roundup of everything that's happened since The Bachelors finale.

Are Jed and Alesia still together?

We're sorry to say the last remaining couple from this year's season are no longer in a relationship.

After popping the question to Alesia in the finale (despite her making it very clear she did not want that), Jed originally confirmed the couple we're still together and "in a really good place". 

"We’re taking it day by day and are excited to actually just have a coffee with each other and live a normal life after this," he told 10 Play.

"We’ve had to hold a relationship together by phone and text," Alesia added, "to not have actually gotten out to have a coffee with someone is so odd in a dating sense". 

"It’ll be good that we can actually go out and do that and see what it’s like to be with each other in a normal setting."

The couple also shared Instagram posts confirming they were still together the day after the finale. 

"I found myself in loving you," Jed wrote alongside a photo of the pair.

"You’ve been my safe place until this day. The support you give is unlike any other I’ve ever had before. Regardless of what capacity we are in, I am lucky to be doing this thing called life with you in it," Alesia captioned her post.

However, two weeks on, Jed has now confirmed the pair are "not currently in a relationship" but are still "continuing to grow together".

Speaking about their relationship during an Instagram Q&A on Tuesday, Jed said the pair had to navigate not being able to see each other every day after filming wrapped. 

"What a question. I can't dodge it," he said when a follower asked about their relationship. 

"I think it's something so foreign to each of us and anyone [who has] engaged in a relationship through the ins and outs of meeting on a show [and] having a gap in between it airing and not being able to see eachother... So we're sort of learning as we go."

Jed went on to say that while the pair are no longer officially together, Alesia is still is his number one priority.

The pair previously shared they took a break after filming wrapped, during an interview with 2DayFM's Hughesy, Ed and Erin last month. 

"We were on the show for seven weeks, and then from the rendezvous, we were like, 'Okay, let's be together, let's make this official'," said Alesia.

"Then there was stuff going on between then, Jed had some things going on, so we just said, 'Let's take a step back until we have the opportunity to be together properly'".

Alesia also shared she "kissed a few [other] people" after filming, which Jed knew about.

"That's okay, given the context [having to spend time apart to avoid spoiling the show], I think we've done quite well if that's all it is, to be honest," said Jed. 

"There was no malice at all," said Alesia. 

Are Thomas and Leah still together? 

We're not going to beat around the (rose) bush here... they are not.

Months after Thomas popped the question to Leah at the finale, the couple decided to go their separate ways. 

"I think it was two or three months after the finale," Thomas told 10 Play.

"We had an amazing time together, and we spent incredible moments together on the show and also after the show… but we realised, spending time together, we had lots of love and care for each other but we weren’t compatible and compatibility is so important."

Thomas went on to say they made the decision to stay friends and will continue to "support one another".

"I'm devastated to this day I didn’t get what I wanted from it, but I also found so much more from it," Leah added. 

"I love who I am now, I can look at myself in the mirror like damn Leah you should be so proud of yourself. I gave something a go and I didn’t hold anything back."

Are Felix and Jess still together? 

After all the drama between Felix, Jess and an impromptu fourth Bachelor, we're sorry to say Felix and Jess are very much not together.

After 'closing the chapter' with Damien at the finale, Jess and Felix began a long distance relationship before things eventually 'fizzled out'.

"I’ve been in a long-distance relationship in the past and it’s incredibly strenuous because if you feel strongly about someone, you want them to always be around you. With us, we didn’t know when the show was going to air or what was going to happen," Felix told 10 Play.

"We’re still on great terms, we’re still incredibly close and we’ve chatted throughout the process… we’re on great terms."

Jess went on to say that she knew Felix "wasn't going to be my life partner". 

"As someone who really values communication and who loves a good D&M, I felt like Felix and I had very different perspectives on what that would look like, and we just kind of lacked that communication," she said. 

"I still care for him as a person and I think he was a massive part of my life, I would never want to discredit that, but from the get-go, I knew he wasn’t going to be my life partner and he deserves someone who is completely all the way in and not half in."

So are Jess and... Damien together then?

Honestly... it's hard to tell with these two but all signs are pointing to no. 

According to So Dramatic, Jess was seen on a 'date' with another man at Bootsdarling Cafe in Sydney's Darlinghurst last month. And the pair apparently had their legs "intertwined".

"[They were] having BIG chats, which was weird once we saw their legs locked in. Maybe just having another heavy convo about partners," a source told the publication. 

Jess also recently shared a photo of a bouquet of flowers she received for Valentine's Day. But it's not exactly clear who they were from. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Thought this deserved a soft launch on the Insta feed," she captioned the post.

Is Felix dating an ex-Bachelor contestant?

Felix reportedly fled the country when the show started airing and has spent the last few weeks in Los Angeles (which was a pretty big sign he and Jess aren't together). 

However, that doesn't necessarily mean he's single.

In October, Felix was seen 'out on the town' with Bachie alum Stephanie Lynch, who was in Jimmy Nicholson's season of the show. 

According to So Dramatic, the pair looked 'loved up'. 

"Bachelor Felix spotted with Stephanie Lynch from Jimmy Nicholson‘s season last weekend in Melbourne," a source told the publication.

Take from that what you will. 

Is Thomas single?

According to So Dramatic, Thomas was seen on the Hinge dating app in September. 

A fan of the podcast sent a screenshot to host Megan Pustetto. However, when Pustetto reached out to Channel Ten, they told her it was just an old account. 

"This is an old account that was set up last year and hasn’t been used since being cast on The Bachelors Australia,” they told the publication. "I wouldn’t read too much into it."
