With the news that struck The Bachelor fans recently about Chris Soules and fiancee, Whitney Bischoff about their break up after only six months, we thought to take a look at other contestants of the show to find some love still out there.
There have been 28 seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette combined and this past season’s romance finders, Soules and Bischoff, called their engagement off which was confirmed on May 28.
It takes the average person a long time to find love unless they are extremely lucky or it was just in the cards for them. The Bachelor gives hope and extra help in making the dream of love come true. Whether you get help on television or it happens in everyday life, love still happens organically. Remember when Bachelor Jason Mesnick of season 13 stated he was in love with Melissa Rycroft during the final rose ceremony to only break up with her on the reunion special because of the love that he found organically with the runner-up Molly. Love has to happen organically for it to last and both parties must feel it. Whatever happened between Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff that caused the break-up happened because aside from the actual reasons, finding love organically was not in their cards.
Out of the 28 seasons of the show there has been five couples that stayed together. The show helped them, but it was ultimately the love that organically grew that has kept these couples together. Check out the top five couples of The Bachelor that stayed together.

Many contestants of the popular show have not found love, but some have and mainly one couple has proven that if the love is organic then it can grow and continue growing. Out of 28 seasons, only five have made it this far and one couple has defeated the odds and stayed together now over a decade. There are still long-lasting lovers created on The Bachelor.
