For the stars and contestants who make it to the end of each season of "<a href="http://www.moviefone.com/tv/the-bachelor/90084/main">The Bachelor</a>" or "<a href="http://www.moviefone.com/tv/the-bachelorette/101098/main">The Bachelorette</a>," that final rose can translate to one of two outcomes: a happily ever after or -- much more often -- a romance gone wrong. Wonderwall.com is taking a look at the final couples from all 19 seasons of "The Bachelor" and all 10 seasons of "The Bachelorette" to find out where they are now -- for better or for worse, starting with ... "The Bachelor" Season 19's Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff. The Iowa farmer proposed to the fertility nurse on the finale, but seven months later in May 2015 -- amid rumors that Chris may have grown too close to his "<a href="http://www.moviefone.com/tv/dancing-with-the-stars/147246/main">Dancing With the Stars</a>" partner Witney Carson -- the pair announced they'd "mutually and amicably decided to <a href="http://www.wonderwall.com/tv/over-already-bachelor-couple-chris-soules-and-whitney-bischoff-have-split-1873044.story">end their engagement</a>."

The writing was clearly on the wall and <a href="http://www.wonderwall.com/tv/bachelor-juan-pablo-galavis-and-nikki-ferrell-call-it-quits-1845734.story">the couple split</a> in October 2014.

But despite all their declarations of love -- and intense sexual chemistry -- Josh and Andi weren't meant to be and <a href="http://www.wonderwall.com/tv/AndiDorfman-and-Josh-Murray-SPLIT-Bachelorette-Stars-End-Engagement-1855092.story">announced they'd split</a> in January 2015. Five months later, Andi -- who moved to New York City from Atlanta after she and Josh parted ways -- made headlines again when she reportedly hooked up with hunky country star Sam Hunt at the 2015 Country Music Awards Festival.The second time was not the charm for jewelry designer Emily Maynard, who starred on Season 8 of "<a href="http://www.moviefone.com/tv/the-bachelorette/101098/main">The Bachelorette</a>" in 2012. She previously "won" Season 15 of "<a href="http://www.moviefone.com/tv/the-bachelor/90084/main">The Bachelor</a>" when Brad Womack asked her to be his bride, but they split in 2011. She returned to the franchise and chose entrepreneur Jef Holm, who proposed marriage too -- but they flamed out a few months later. Emily's story does, however, have a happy ending: In 2014, the single mom <a href="http://www.wonderwall.com/tv/emily-maynard-marries-tyler-johnson-bachelorette-alums-secret-wedding-29291.gallery">married Tyler Johnson</a> -- they met at church! -- and in 2015, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child together, a son.

After a low-key romance that lasted 20 months, the pair tied the knot -- Desiree <a href="http://www.wonderwall.com/tv/desiree-hartsock-designing-own-wedding-gown-its-surprising-1803172.story">designed her own wedding dress</a>, natch -- in January 2015.This relationship was the definition of roller-coaster romance: Winery owner and "<a href="http://www.moviefone.com/tv/the-bachelor/90084/main">The Bachelor</a>" Season 16 star Ben Flajnik proposed to model Courtney Robertson on the finale in 2012, then they broke up while their season was still airing. They reconciled and got engaged for a second time, but it just wasn't meant to be and they split for good in October 2012. While Ben went on to be <a href="http://www.wonderwall.com/movies/kris-jenner-ben-flajnik-have-friendly-reunion-amid-bachelor-mayhem-28499.gallery">romantically linked </a>to <a href="http://www.wonderwall.com/tv/Kris-Jenner-1409.celebrity">Kris Jenner</a> -- yes, the Kardashian family matriarch who's 28 years his senior -- Courtney dated another franchise alum, race-car driver Arie Luyendyk Jr. They split too, and Courtney later shared all the gory details of her romances in a juicy tell-all book, "I Didn't Come Here to Make Friends -- Confessions of a Reality Show Villain."
