From a leading rom-com man to a viral social media star: Where are The Bachelor stars now?

The Golden Bachelor just ended with a wholesome love story blossoming between Bear and Sunny. We love to see it!

Another Bachie success story got us thinking about The Bachelors who have come and gone over the years — and there have been heaps.

Several men from The Bachelor found their happily-ever-after, staying with their winner, going on to marry and welcome kids together. For others, they went on to start other relationships or had huge success in their careers.

Plus, a few Bachelors have completely nuked their social presence. Where are they? What are they doing? Keep your secrets, gents!

FYI: we're rounding up the show's biggest stars, so sadly, most of the men from the largely forgotten The Bachelors' seasons didn't make the list — with one notable exception.

Without further ado, this is where The Bachelor's men are now.

Tim Robards.

Chiropractor Tim Robards was the country's first Bachelor in 2013. He chose criminal lawyer Anna Heinrich in the finale, and they are still together, making them the franchise's most enduring couple.

The couple got married in Italy in June 2018. They became parents to their first daughter, Elle, in November 2020, and welcomed their second daughter, Ruby, in March 2024.

In recent years, Robards has focused on his acting career, including a main role as Pierce Greyson on the soap opera Neighbours from 2018 to 2020, with a return cameo in 2022. He also appeared on the reality show SAS Australia: Who Dares Wins in 2023.

Robards recently starred in a romantic comedy film titled Chef's Kiss, which will be released in Australia as From Italy With Love.

The film is set against the backdrop of the Tuscan countryside — although it was curiously filmed in Australia. Robards' character, Mason, clashes with an ambitious American marketing executive, Lauren Navarro (played by Adrienne Bailon-Houghton), who is in Italy to rebrand a family-run pasta sauce. Sounds spicy!

The film is set for an Australian cinema release in 2026 and will be available on Roku in the US in time for Valentine's Day.

Blake Garvey.

Blake Garvey was the star of the second season of The Bachelor Australia in 2014, working as a real estate auctioneer at the time.

In a highly publicised twist, he chose Sam Frost in the finale and proposed, but he then dumped her. He controversially began a relationship with the show's second runner-up, Louise Pillidge.

Blake and Louise dated for 18 months before announcing their split in April 2016.

Since then, Garvey has kept a very low profile, deleting his social media accounts. He previously appeared on Celebrity Apprentice Australia in 2015, but he's been MIA in the public eye in recent years. Last we heard, he was working as a real estate agent in Western Australia.

Sam Wood.

Sam Wood chose Snezana Markoski in the finale of The Bachelor in 2015. They were married in November 2018.

They welcomed their first daughter together, Willow, in October 2017, and a third daughter, Harper Jones, in May 2022. Snezana also has an older daughter, Eve.

Professionally, Sam is known for his fitness program, 28 by Sam Wood, an online training and nutrition platform. He authored health and fitness books, 28 by Sam Wood and 7 Minutes to Better Health.

Wood's online fitness program, 28 by Sam Wood, was later acquired by the genomics company myDNA Inc. The deal was reportedly worth $71 million and Sam remains involved, reportedly becoming an investor in the combined company.

He continues to operate 28 by Sam Wood and is an author and media commentator.

Richie Strahan.

Richie Strahan chose Alex Nation in The Bachelor 2016 finale. Their relationship lasted approximately a year before they split, and they did not get married or have children together.

Richie, who is an industrial rope access technician by trade, later appeared on Bachelor In Paradise in 2019. More recently, in late 2023, he went public on social media with a new girlfriend, model Tiffany Rozman.

However, it's unclear whether they're still together as Richie hasn't appeared on her Instagram in over a year. In fact, Richie hasn't posted to his Instagram in 2025… at all. A man of mystery!

Matthew Johnson.

Matthew 'Matty J' Johnson rose to fame on The Bachelor Australia in 2017, where he chose Laura Byrne as his winner.

They married in 2022, and have three daughters: Marlie-Mae born 2019, Lola Ellis born 2021, and Poppy Pearl who was born in 2025.

He launched the podcast Two Doting Dads with friend and fellow dad Ash Wick, and Matty often appears on Laura's successful podcast Life Uncut. He and Laura are popular on social media for their hilarious parenting content.

After being cast on The Bachelor, Cummins famously chose no one in the finale between Brittany Hockley and Sophie Tieman — dumping both of the final two women.

Since The Bachelor, he has done TV work, including co-hosting Netflix's Ultimate Beastmaster, starring in National Geographic's Meanwhile In Australia and competing on SAS Australia.

He is currently in a relationship with jewellery designer Alexandra George. They are not yet married but have three children: a son, Billy, born in October 2022, a second child born in December 2023, and a daughter welcomed in March 2025.

Matt has authored two non-fiction books: Dr Matt's Guide to Life in Space and Is My Phone Reading My Mind: The Real Facts About Artificial Intelligence. He also launched a kids' book recently.

He has appeared on TV shows like Studio 10 and has been a guest on multiple podcasts, including The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show and It's A Lot with Abbie Chatfield.

In 2023, he was rumoured to be in a relationship with Kate Reid, an ex-Formula 1 engineer and entrepreneur.

Locky Gilbert starred as The Bachelor in 2020 (aka the dreaded lockdown season) and chose nurse Irena Srbinovska as his winner — though he awkwardly told both Irena and runner-up Bella Varelis that he loved them.

Locky and Irena were married in a surprise ceremony in March 2023. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Ava Aleksandra Gilbert, on February 23, 2024. They have been open about their struggles with infertility and miscarriages.

Gilbert has appeared on reality TV shows like Australian Survivor, SAS Australia, and, along with Irena, he co-hosted an episode of The 4WD Adventure Show.
