Chris Harrison Posts Epic Throwback ‘Family’ Photo with 'OG' Bachelors and Bachelorettes
It’s like they never left! Chris Harrison shared a throwback photo with some of the “OG” Bachelors and Bachelorettes and their spouses from Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert’s wedding in 2016, and it was quite the gathering.
On Monday, the longtime host posted a photo with Season 1 Bachelorette Trista Sutter, her husband Ryan Sutter, Season 5 Bachelorette Jillian Harris, her partner Justin Pasutto, Season 4 Bachelor Bob Guiney, his wife Jessica Canyon, Season 3 Bachelor Andrew Firestone and his wife Ivana Firestone. In the picture, almost everyone is making a funny face or posing. Ryan and Justin are the two exceptions, which they joked about in the comments section. Chris captioned it, “A little OG #TheBachelor love. The crew that really paved the way. Love this big beautiful family!”
While not everyone in the photo found their current spouse on the show, it didn’t stop the rest of them from getting their happy ending after all.

There’s some seasonal overlap among the Bachelor Nation members in this photo. Trista was the inaugural Bachelorette who started it all for the women in the franchise, and Bob Guiney happened to be on her season. He made it to the final four men before getting sent home. He handed out roses on “The Bachelor” later that year.
Ryan received Trista’s final rose 16 years ago, and they got married December 6, 2003. They have two kids, Maxwell, 12, and Blakesley, 10.

Jillian Harris appeared on Jason Mesnick’s season of “The Bachelor” in 2009. She made it to the final three and headlined a season of “The Bachelorette.” Although Jillian hails from Canada (and lives there now), she did not appear on “The Bachelorette: Canada,” because the Canadian iteration of the show did not premiere until 2016. Jillian got engaged to Ed Swiderski at the end of her season, but they broke up a year later.
She and Justin Pasutto have two children, Annie, 13 months, and Leo, 3, and two dogs, Peaches and Nacho.

Bob made his mark as the Bachelor in 2003. Like some of his predecessors, Bob and his finalist Estella Gardinier did not get engaged at the end of the show. They continued to date, but parted ways soon thereafter. He and his wife Jessica tied the knot on November 11, 2016, in Punta Mita, Mexico. The happy couple welcomed a son, Grayson, on December 3, 2018.

Andrew Firestone was Bob’s direct predecessor on “The Bachelor.” He fell in love with Jen Schefft on his season of the show and proposed to her. They remained engaged for a few months, but eventually broke up. Jen went on to become the Season 3 Bachelorette. The great-grandson of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company founder met his happily ever after in Ivana Božilović. They celebrated their 11-year wedding anniversary in July and have three children together.

Needless to say, that photo-op and reunion was deserving of all the roses.
