11/08/2017 03:22 pm EST
Jason Mesnick and Melissa Rycroft
Mesnick proposed to Rycroft during his Season 13 finale, before breaking up with her on After the Final Rose, which was filmed before the finale even aired. During the special, Mesnick confessed his love for runner-up Molly Malaney, and the pair is currently married.
Aaron Buerge and Helene Eksterowicz
While today's Bachelor fans might not quite recognize their faces, the Season 2 pair was engaged for just six months before going their separate ways in February 2003, less than two months after their finale episode aired.
Brad Womack and Emily Maynard
Womack proposed to Maynard during his second go-round as The Bachelor during Season 15, but the pair stayed together for just five months before calling it quits in June 2011. On his first season as The Bachelor, Womack didn't propose to either of his final two ladies.
Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff
The Season 19 couple were together for six months before calling off their engagement in May 2015, with Soules later telling Entertainment Tonight their breakup was the "darkest moment."
"We tried really hard and once we both knew it wasn't right, it wasn't right—and that was the hardest part," he said, via E! News. "When something like that doesn't work out, that's the darkest moment."
Nick Viall and Vanessa Girardi
Viall's season of The Bachelor wrapped up in March of this year, with a romantic proposal in Finland, and he and Girardi moved in together in Los Angeles a few months later.
The couple announced their split on Aug. 25.
