The Bachelor's Colton Underwood Marries Jordan C. Brown in California Wedding

Colton Underwood is a married man.

The star of The Bachelor season 23 wed his Jordan C. Brown, more than two years after they began a relationship. Colton, 31, and Jordan 38, announced the news in a joint Instagram post, writing, "The Brown-Underwoods...May 13th 2023."

The reality star, a former NFL player, and his partner married in a rustic, outdoor wedding in Napa Valley, Calif. in front of about 200 guests and wore Tom Ford suits—green for Colton and blue for Jordan, according to People. The men included in their Instagram post pics from the event, which shows them kissing at the altar.

The wedding took place more than a year after the couple got engaged. The men also married more than two years after Colton, who also starred on The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, came out publicly as gay on Good Morning America. He told Robin Roberts in the April 2021 interview, "I'm the happiest and healthiest I've ever been in my life."

The following December, Colton and Jordan went public with their relationship, making it Instagram official.

Also that month, Netflix premiered the reality star's docuseries Coming Out Colton, in which he spoke about his journey of self-discovery and his breakup from The Bachelor co-star Cassie Randolph.

After stepping in to complete Clare Crawley's season of The Bachelorette, Tayshia Adams met and fell in love with Zac Clark. Following their engagement on the show, the former Bachelorette lead-turned-co-host later revealed that her relationship has had some ups and downs.

"It's hard to be in a new relationship and then kind of go away for a couple of weeks, you know what I mean? And this is me being real and honest," she said on The Ben and Ashley I. Almost Famous podcast in August 2021.

She continued, "I think after that, it was kinda like we need to remember why we were with each other. And I think that that's absolutely normal." In November 2021, E! News confirmed the two had gone their separate ways.

On The Bachelorette's season 17 finale, Katie Thurston got engaged to Blake Moynes. The pair first declared their love for one another during their overnight date, which involved a paintball excursion, a cowboy tub and a conversation under the stars.

At one point, we thought Blake was going to break up with Katie, as he said he couldn't give her what she came here for. Thankfully, he didn't, as he added, "Because you deserve a lot more than that. You deserve the world, and I'm excited to support you and be there for you every day moving forward."

Three months after the proposal aired, the couple announced their split. They explained in matching statements, "We are so grateful for the moments we shared together and the entire journey that has unfolded this year, but we ultimately have concluded that we are not compatible as life partners, and it is the most caring choice for both of us to move forward independently."

The pair sparked reconciliation rumors a month later when they were spotted together. Fast forward to July 2021, after several reunions, Clare and Dale were fully back together—ring and all. But in September, the two called it quits again.

After his brief engagement to winner Hannah Ann Sluss and then subsequent split from runner-up Madison Prewett, fans were hopeful that the third time would be the charm for Peter Weber's romance with fellow The Bachelor season 24 standout Kelley Flanagan.

"While our relationship was filled with countless beautiful memories, our relationship simply didn't work out in the end," Pete posted to Instagram. "Kelley is someone I will always have a special love for."

The love and respect I have for Madi will continue to endure."

Madi added in her statement, "I will always love and respect him. I am convinced our paths were meant to cross and we are both better because they did."

Specifically, Hannah Ann was blindsided over Peter's lingering feelings for Madison.

"All I've ever asked for, is for someone to give me their whole heart like I'm giving mine to them. And you took away my first engagement," she expressed before giving back her ring. "You took that away from me. 'Cause I trusted you, and that's what you have continued to ask me to do. 'Be patient with me. Have faith in me.'"
