ABC's hit reality show "The Bachelor" is going on its 25th season.
While many of the men left the show paired up with a winner, most of the couples have broken up.
Here's a look at where all the couples on "The Bachelor" ended up.

It's been 18 years since ABC's "The Bachelor" first premiered on television.

The popular reality show has faced its fair share of criticism for the way it portrays relationships since its debut. Most recently, "The Bachelor" came under fire for its lack of diversity, finally casting a Black lead for the first time after 24 seasons on air.

Despite its flaws, the show has become one of ABC's best-performing reality series and has birthed multiple spin-offs, such as "The Bachelorette" and "Bachelor in Paradise." And though there's been plenty of seasons, the majority of the men aren't with the winner they ended up with at the end of their seasons.

Here's where the winning "Bachelor" couples ended up.
