As we watch Clayton finding love we can not help but think about five memorable bachelors from the past. We’re listing off who they are and why they stick out in our minds!
A week off of The Bachelor has us reminiscing on the old leads! Even though for some their show has ended years ago, they still have left their own mark and memories for bachelor fans. But why are they memorable bachelors? What are they up to today? Read on to find out more!
Sean Lowe
Sean Lowe is such a memorable bachelor. To this day he is the only bachelor to marry his original winner, Catherine Giudici. (Since Arie and Jason married women who were not their final choice they do not count in this, sorry!)

Sean and Catherine still make our heartthrob. They are happily married and have a beautiful family of two little boys and a little girl. Their social media is full of cute family adventures; and, of course, some dad joke captions on Sean’s instagram.

Ben Higgins
Ben Higgins was a fan favorite from Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season, so it was no surprise to us that he was cast as the bachelor. Even though he is known for telling JoJo Fletcher and Lauren Bushnell that he loved them both (which is a big no-no) we still have a soft spot for Ben Higgins!

Even though he did not have a happily ever after on The Bachelor, Ben Higgins is now happily married to Jess Clarke!
