However, Colton did tell Chris Harrison during the After the Final Rose special that they are "in love," and Cassie said marriage is "definitely something we've talked about." The pair dated for a year and a half before splitting up in May 2020. The Bachelor finale saw Colton and Cassie reuniting and making it to the fantasy suite where he may have lost his virginity - which was this season's version of a marriage proposal, it seems. Colton ultimately fell for Cassie, but when their relationship dramatically derailed, his chance at love seemed to fly out the window (or jump the fence, one might say).

"The love and respect I have for Madi will continue to endure."Ĭolton Underwood made history when he was announced as the first virgin Bachelor, and the women of Season 23 battled it out for his heart. Believe me this was not easy for either of us to be ok with, but after a lot of honest conversations, we have agreed that this is what makes most sense for the two of us," he wrote, in part. "Madi and I have mutually decided to not pursue our relationship any further. The reunion didn't last long, however. In one of the quickest post-finale splits in recent Bachelor memory, Peter took to Instagram on March 12 to reveal that the pair were no longer together. However, thanks to some string-pulling by host Chris Harrison, Peter and Madison ultimately reunited (yes, this all happened during his two-part finale), pledging to take their relationship "one day at a time" - much to the chagrin of Peter's mother, Barb. She blamed him for spoiling her first engagement and the pair split. Peter confessed he was still "struggling" with residual feelings for Madison, and Hannah Ann got fed up with waiting for him to come around. While Peter ended up getting down on one knee for Hannah Ann, the engagement didn't last long. The 24th Bachelor had a tumultuous finale week - wrestling with his feelings for both Hannah Ann Sluss and Madison Prewett - however, his choice seemed to get easier when Madison left Australia before Peter could hand out his final rose, saying that the two were "very different people." (That fantasy suite ultimatum didn't seem to help matters, either.) "I'm so appreciative for you, and the best is yet to come," he said during his proposal. "I'm not going anywhere, and I want to make you happy and be there for you each and every day." She said just after meeting him that she felt like she had just "met my husband," and referred to him as her "fiancé" while speaking with a producer during her short-lived season.Īnd Dale felt the same way. "Literally from the moment he stepped out of that limo, I knew it was him," Clare told the cameras just before Dale's proposal. No hometowns, no fantasy suites, no big dramatic finale. After "blowing up The Bachelorette," as host Chris Harrison put it, Clare and Dale had their first one-on-one, declared their love for each other, he proposed, and she accepted. The pair hit it off from night one and their connection was obvious - even to the other men on Clare's season. One of the most shocking turns in Bachelor Nation history, Clare Crawley was the Bachelorette for just two weeks of filming when she called it all off, declaring she had found her man in ex-NFL player Dale Moss.

And it just - sometimes you just want to fight those feelings because it's too good to be true, but at the same time, it was just slapping me in the face, essentially."

"There's so many factors that go into it, and all the guys are amazing, but I just - I had a connection with Zac that I don't think I've experienced with anybody else. "It was just what I pictured my life looking like in five, 10, 20 years, and who I saw as possibly being the father of my children, and just who was most compatible with me, who meshed well with my family," Tayshia told ET of her decision. They shared "I love yous," he proposed and she happily accepted. Ultimately, Tayshia sent runners-up Ivan Hall and Ben Smith home before the final rose ceremony, knowing that Zac was the one. She hit it off with a few, even telling ET that she fell in love with "multiple" men, but had a connection with Zac from the very beginning. After taking over Bachelorette duties from Clare Crawley - who found her happy ending quicker than anyone expected - Tayshia Adams got to know the remaining men of season 16, as well as a few newcomers.
