‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ Stars Who Dated Celebrities: Tyler Cameron, Mark Anderson and More

Mark Anderson and Barbara Alyn Woods

Mark Anderson was a contestant on season 1 of The Golden Bachelorette. After being eliminated by Joan Vassos ahead of hometown dates, he started spending time with One Tree Hill actress Barbara Alyn Woods.

The two were first spotted together when they celebrated Halloween 2024 and dressed as Cinderella and Prince Charming. Less than two weeks later, Barbara posted a TikTok video of them dancing in front of a Christmas tree, which she captioned, “IN GOOD COMPANY.”

On November 16, the apparent couple went to dinner and a movie at Melrose Rooftop Theatre with Barbara’s daughter Emily Lind.

Colton Underwood and Lucy Hale

Colton and the Pretty Little Liars star had a quick romance just two months after his split from Cassie Randolph. The pair were seen hiking in Los Angeles in July 2020, which seemingly fulfilled Lucy’s fantasies as she swooned over him when he was announced the Bachelor. “I’m super excited that Colton’s the Bachelor,” she told People in 2018. “He’s wholesome. He’s a good guy it seems like. He’s really beautiful to watch.”

Cassie even gave the possible romance a thumbs up after a source close to the California native exclusively told Life & Style that she didn’t “have a problem” with her ex moving on. “She wants him to be happy, so she realizes that means moving on and dating other people,” the insider said at the time. “She supports his decision and just hopes he has success in his future relationships, whoever they might be with.” 

However, Colton denied that he was dating the actress after telling the paparazzi he was “single” in August 2020.

Ben Flajnik and Kris Jenner

Now, this pairing will make you want to say, “okurttt!” The former Bachelor first met the momager during her talk show Kris, back in 2013, and were frequently spotted together out and about. Nearly a decade later, he opened up about his relationship with the Kardashians star. 

“We shared some trips and some laughs and some dinners,” he told Taste of Reality in March 2021. “She’s still a friend. I email her from time to time checking in to see how the Kardashian gang is. No romance, though.”

Tyler Cameron and Gigi Hadid

After briefly reconciling with Brown after season 15 of The Bachelorette came to an end in 2019, the Florida native moved on with the supermodel. The duo were spotted on several dates in New York City in August 2019 and Cameron supported Hadid at her grandmother Ans van den Herik’s funeral in the Netherlands the next month. Their whirlwind romance ended in October 2019, shortly before Hadid reunited with ex Zayn Malik in January 2020. She welcomed daughter Khai with the former One Direction member nine months later.

Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams

Adams previously appeared on JoJo Fletcher’s season of The Bachelorette in 2016 and quickly caught Hyland’s eye. When he scored a gig as the bartender on Bachelor in Paradise the following year, the Modern Family actress couldn’t contain her excitement. “I thought he was real hot and then he slid into them DMs ’cause I tweeted about him,” Hyland joked during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in September 2019, two months after Adams popped the question.

Chris Lane and Lauren Bushnell

The Virginia native got engaged to Ben Higgins on season 20 of The Bachelor, which aired in 2016. Higgins and Bushnell then starred in the spinoff show Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After? before ending their engagement in May 2017. One year later, Bushnell and Lane made their red carpet debut together at the 2018 CMA Awards, confirming their relationship. Following their October 2019 wedding, the pair welcomed their son, Dutton, in June 2021. They will soon be a family of four as Lauren is pregnant with baby No. 2!

Victoria Fuller and Chase Rice

Fuller appeared on Peter Weber’s season of The Bachelor in early 2020 and was forced to confront her past with Rice when Weber brought her to a surprise concert for their one-on-one date. “My heart sank because I didn’t know what to do in that situation,” Fuller later revealed on Nick Viall’s “Viall Files” podcast. “I immediately saw him and he saw me and did one of those moments where he was like, ‘F–k.’” While she and Rice hadn’t put an official label on their relationship, she claimed they were seeing each other for a few months before filming began.

The country singer, for his part, slammed the reality series for the awkward encounter. “The fact they did that to me, it’s over the top, it’s unnecessary, I didn’t expect it,” he said on the Fitz in the Morning radio show in January 2020. “But at the end of the day, it happened.”

Nick Viall and Rachel Bilson

After the Hart of Dixie alum appeared on the former Bachelor’s podcast in July 2019, the duo quickly sparked speculation of a romance — and added fuel to the fire when they exchanged flirty comments on social media in the following months. In November 2019, Viall confirmed that he went to dinner with Bilson, but said it wasn’t a date. “We hung out, and her friends were there too,” he said on the “Brad Behavior” podcast at the time. Two months later, Bilson hit the red carpet with Bill Hader at the 2020 Golden Globes.

Mike Johnson and Demi Lovato

The Texas native was a fan-favorite during season 15 of The Bachelorette, and while he didn’t end up becoming the first Black Bachelor, he did catch some famous fans’ eyes. In July 2019, Lovato professed her love for the ABC dating series and teased, “Mike I accept your rose,” in an Instagram Story. They continued a flirty back-and-forth on social media and by September 2019, Johnson revealed they had been on “more than one date.” One month later, however, their flame fizzled out.

Nick Viall and January Jones

Two years after they first sparked romance rumors in 2018, the Mad Men alum broke her silence on her fling with the Bachelor Nation personality. “Nick slid into my DMs and he’s like, ‘I’m so sorry that your perception of me is so negative. I’d love to take you out to coffee and see if I can change your mind,’” Jones recalled during a January 2020 interview on the “Armchair Expert” podcast. “I squealed. … We went on a couple dates.”

Colton Underwood and Aly Raisman

In 2016, the former football player took a risk and asked Raisman out in a viral social media video. They went public with their romance that December and attended the Golden Globes together the next month. By June 2017, however, the Bachelor in Paradise alum confirmed that he and the Olympian were “taking a break” but were “still good friends.” He was later cast as the season 23 Bachelor in 2018, while Raisman went on to testify against Larry Nassar in the nationwide USA Gymnastics abuse scandal.

Robby Hayes and Scheana Shay

The Bachelorette season 12 runner-up briefly dated the Vanderpump Rules star in 2018, even making a few appearances on the Bravo reality series following Scheana’s split from ex-husband Michael Shay.

Ben Flajnik and Jennifer Love Hewitt

The actress fired off a few flirty tweets to the reality star in August 2011. The twosome met up for a date, but at the time, Flajnik told USA Today that “ending up with a Hollywood celebrity is not something that I want.”

Courtney Robertson and Jesse Metcalfe

The Arizona native got engaged to Flajnik on season 16 of The Bachelor, but they called it quits after nine months. Before her stint on reality TV, Robertson dated Metcalfe from 2005 to 2007. “Jesse was exciting and passionate but a total mess,” she wrote in her 2014 memoir, I Didn’t Come Here to Make Friends: Confessions of a Reality Show Villain. “As much as I liked Jesse, I never felt like I could trust him.”

Robertson wed Humberto Preciado in October 2020, four months after welcoming son Joaquin Ramon.
