WHERE ARE THEY NOW: All the winning 'Bachelor' couples

• "The Bachelor" is in its 23rd season. 
• Most of the winning couples aren't still together.

It's hard to believe, but "The Bachelor" has been on the air for 17 years.

But when the show first launched in 2002, no one knew it was going to last this long. It was critiqued for throwing personal relationships into the public eye and allowing one man to date multiple women at once.

Despite that, the show has become one of ABC's best-performing reality series, and has produced multiple spin-offs like "The Bachelorette" and "Bachelor in Paradise."

And though there's been plenty of seasons, the majority of contestants aren't with the winner they fell in love with over the course of a few months.

See where the other "Bachelor" couples ended up.
