One Blake Garvey, 24 break-ups and FIVE weddings: The Bachelor US proves it's harder to find lasting love than it seems
There has been 30 series of The Bachelor US since the show launched in 2002.
And in that time there have been 24 break ups, five weddings and one Blake Garvey incident (dumping the winner for a previously evicted contestant), proving trying to find and stay in love is harder than it seems.
While Australia has only had three seasons of the hit show, two couples (Tim Robards and Anna Heinrich, 2003 and Sam Wood and Snezana Markoski, 2015) are still together and Blake Garvey and Sam Frost's (2014) romance ended before he moved on with former contestant Louise Pillidge.
