Which Listen To Your Heart Couples Are Still Together?
Thank goodness for Listen to Your Heart, a Bachelor spinoff that has kept us happy and entertained on Monday nights for the past six weeks. ICYMI, the show paired singles looking for love and a musical partner. Each week, they competed in sing-offs, and for one another's hearts. And yes, Chris Harrison was there every step of the way.
The last episode revealed the winning couple, and so, spoilers ahead, at least one singing duo is still together after the final rose, and in this case, the final performance. But just because the show's judges (including Taye Diggs and Jewel) picked a winner, doesn't mean other Listen to Your Heart couples are not making beautiful music together off screen. Gag! In all seriousness, several couples found love over the course of the show, from Chris and Bri, to Jamie and Trevor, and maybe even Ryan and Natascha, who didn't stay until the finale, but clearly had the hots for one another.
So, which Bachelor couples listened to their hearts and are still together?
Rudi and Matt
Rudi Gutierrez and Matt Ranaudo were that couple you wanted so badly to work out. Rudi liked Matt from the start, but when early on, Matt made a move and Rudi rebuked his advances, it seems the flame died between them. Not one to give up, Rudi realized she'd made a mistake, and pursued Matt. Their rocky start behind them, the couple seemed like the perfect underdogs to make lasting romance work, especially when you saw them perform together on stage. But alas, Matt couldn't commit and Rudi was left heartbroken when he left the show before the final performances on the last episode. But did the duo rekindle their relationship off screen?
Matt definitely expressed remorse during the car ride post-breakup with Rudi. Then in an interview with Access, Matt admitted he wouldn't have been able to go on the journey of being on the show without his partner. It seems their fans are also eager for the couple to work it out (judging by Instagram comments) but for now, we don't know if they rekindled anything post-show, just that they support each other and have remained friends. Fingers crossed!
Jamie and Trevor
Die-hard Jamie Gabrielle (her stage name) and Trevor Holmes fans might have been disappointed when they did not win the big prize of a record deal and a tour together. The couple had a somewhat-rocky road from the beginning, with each singer facing doubts about the relationship. But their love overcame obstacles, and basically Jamie and Trevor could not have been cuter going into fantasy suites. Their overnight together only served to pump up their connection, and even though they came in second on the show, the lovebirds walked away happy to have found romance.
While no one knows for sure whether Jamie and Trevor are still dating, they do follow each other on social media, and share photos together often (via Elite Daily). "Who would've thought a couple of hot tub kids would make it this far?" Jamie joked in an Instagram post shared on finale night. But according to Screen Rant, Jamie and Trevor may have played their romance up for the cameras and to make it farther on the show. For now, the singers are staying mum about the status of their relationship and it seems only time will tell (as in if one of them appear on a future season of Bachelor in Paradise).
Bri and Chris
Chris Watson and Bri Stauss won the show, and walked away with a record deal and insta-relationship. But did their love last? The couple felt one another from the start, being the first to say "I love you," and remaining strong through the end. It was no surprise when they rocked their final performance, beating out Jamie and Trevor. The good news is their romance has translated away from the reality show bubble. Chris even confessed they are considering a walk down the aisle. "It's definitely been a topic of discussion," he told ET. He added, "But I'm not trying to get married tomorrow. And I know Bri isn't either. We're not trying to get married next month, but in the future, for sure."
For her part, Bri said, "We are absolutely trying to be together." It seems coronavirus has thrown a wrench in their plans as it has for the rest of the world. Bri explained, "All this took us by surprise, and we were expecting to be together sooner or to have things opened up sooner. I have a compromised immune system, and so traveling is the biggest issue." Apparently the couple is quarantining away from one another after recording songs for their upcoming album, aptly titled, Chris and Bri.
For now, the newly-minted recording artists are long distance, "We're kind of just taking it day by day, especially with, you know, the current climate." She remains, "pretty optimistic for the future."
Other Listen to Your Heart couples' relationship status
Unexpected couple Ryan and Natascha (he said he couldn't believe she was into him; she 'fessed up that she loves nerdy types) left the show after a disconnected performance. Still, they were determined to stay together (via Bustle). Before saying goodbye, Ryan said, "I don't want this to end. Thank you so much for being a part of this journey with me. I can't wait to see what the future holds." For her part, Natascha said, "Maybe the universe has another plan for us that doesn't include this journey, but maybe it will include a better one. This could make us stronger, too." It's unclear if the hopeful couple made things work outside of the show, but in a recent Instagram post, Natascha shared, "I miss hugs. Especially from this guy." The guy in question? You guessed it: Ryan.
Meanwhile, Julia expressed remorse over pursuing Brandon instead of Sheridan upon being eliminated. Julia also told ET she and Sheridan were in "constant contact" post-show, and was hopeful the long-haired crooner would give her another chance. But Sheridan recently told ET, "For me, it's a no. I cannot see it happening ... I think relationships are built on trust and communication. Trust, to an extent, has been broken ... I feel like considering it again would be being okay being second choice, and I'm not going to do that to myself."
