Those who find true love and happily ever after on reality TV are few and far between. So many of the The Bachelorette.
For example, The Bachelorette sequesters a group of 30 men to live together in a mansion while competing for one woman's love, so they're bound to bond with one another. Some authentic and heartwarming friendships have formed between these men, and it's fun to follow these friendships via social media after the show airs.
Peter Weber And Dustin Kendrick (Season 15)
Peter Weber and Dustin Kendrick both competed for the heart of Alabama native Hannah Brown on the 15th season of The Bachelorette, and while they both ultimately came up short in the competition, they became roommates and business partners after the show.
Peter and Dustin now live in New York and co-host a podcast called Bachelors In The City. Their podcast focuses on sharing their lives and adventures with their following, all from their New York City apartment. Their friendship caught Bachelor Nation fans' eyes when Dustin appeared in several of Peter and ex-girlfriend Kelley Flanagan's TikToks last summer.
JJ Lane And Chris Arlis (Season 11)
JJ Lane and Chris Arlis appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe's season of The Bachelorette, but were nicknamed the "Brokeback Bachelors" due to the close relationship that formed between the two of them while on the show.
The two were later criticized on Twitter for queerbaiting the audience with their confession of love for each other, but later proved that they were in fact good friends when Chris actually attended JJ's real-life bachelor party in 2019. Though their bromance was originally played for laughs, the two did hit it off with each other even more than they did with Kaitlyn.
Blake Horstmann And Jason Tartick (Season 14)
Blake Horstmann and Jason Tartick were the runner-up and second runner-up respectively on Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette. Despite making it to the end and confessing their love for the same girl, the two formed a friendship that now exists outside the realm of the show.
Jason and Blake have not only remained on good with each other since the end of season 14, but still have nothing but kind words for Becca. Both have remained in the Bachelor Nation universe and frequently attend the same charity events and appear on similar podcasts.
Mike Johnson And Connor Saeli (Season 15)
Similarly to Dustin and Peter, Mike Johnson and Connor Saeli both vied for the heart of Hannah Brown. She eliminated them both midway through the season, but they became close friends due to their time on the show and on Bachelor In Paradise.
The season 15 alums now document their bromance on social media, where they share carpool karaoke clips, relationship advice, and most recently traveled to Austin together. The duo frequently appear in each other's Tiktok videos as well as on viral TikToker Jenna Palek's.
Arie Luyendyk Jr. And Sean Lowe (Season 8)
Neither Arie Lyendyk Jr. nor Sean Lowe ended up with Bachelorette Emily Maynard, but they did go on to become leads of The Bachelor, meet their wives on their seasons. They also walked away from the franchise as good friends with each other.
Both Arie and Sean have proven to have a sarcastic sense of humor on social media, where they typically tease themselves and their wives. Sean was honest as to how he felt about his friend getting engaged and then dumping his finalist, Becca Kufrin, saying that he felt he made the wrong decision, but still ed him and his relationship with his runner-up Lauren Burnham. He later praised Lauren and Arie for being a perfect couple after attending their wedding in 2019.
Andrew Spencer And Greg Grippo (Season 17)
Andrew Spencer and Greg Grippo were fan-favorite contestants on the most recent season of The Bachelorette, on which they were both seen falling head over heels for the lead, Katie Thurston. Ultimately, Andrew was eliminated and Greg chose to remove himself from contention, leaving Katie heartbroken. However, the two men became the best of friends.
All of the men from Katie's season have proven to be quite close to one another, however Andrew has been the most of his BFF Greg following the airing of the breakup fight between him and Katie in the penultimate episode of season 17. The two frequently share their friendship on social media, and have been spotted out in public on multiple occasions by fans.
Jared Haibon And Tanner Tolbert (Season 11)
Jared Haibon and Tanner Tolbert both found their future wives and became memorable couples on Bachelor In Paradise, but they found their friendship with one another while competing for the heart of Kaitlyn Bristowe on the 11th season of The Bachelorette.
The two got so close during their time on the season that Jared has said Tanner was the reason behind his romance with Ashley working out, and if it wasn't for his friend's he wasn't sure he would have had the courage to pursue things with her.
Wells Adams And Evan Bass (Season 12)
Evan Bass and Wells Adams are more well-known for their stints on Bachelor In Paradise, but they actually first met and became friends on JoJo Fletcher's season of The Bachelorette.
Wells has continued to stand up for his friend Evan in some of the biggest moments of his life, including being a groomsman in his wedding to fellow Bachelor Nation alum Carly Waddell, and jumping out of a cake to announce the sex of their second child. With Wells due to marry actress Sarah Hyland soon, it's safe to say Evan will be there standing by his friend.
Nick Viall And Ben Higgins (Season 11)
Nick Viall and Ben Higgins both had their hearts broken by Kaitlyn Bristowe on the 11th season of The Bachelorette, but got something much more rewarding out of the experience; a life-long friendship.
Ben and Nick have continued to speak highly of one another since both leading their own seasons of The Bachelor, appearing as guests on one another's podcasts and sharing photos together on social media. Most recently, Nick attended Ben's wedding to longtime girlfriend Jessica Clarke with many other Bachelor Nation alumni.
Aaron Clancy And James Bonsall (Season 17)
It's no secret that the best friendship seen on Bachelor In Paradise was none other than the bromance between Aaron Clancy and James Bonsall. But the duo actually first blossomed on Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette, where both men were eliminated midway through the season.
James and Aaron made it through almost the entirety of Paradise by one another's sides, never competing for the same girl and even deciding to leave at the same time so they could book the same flight home. James and Aaron have since become roommates and remain best friends, even if they weren't able to find romance on reality TV.
