They might not have found love on their season of the reality show, but for these former Bachelorettes, life after the glitz and glam of The Bachelor New Zealand has proven to be even sweeter.

Whether it’s jet-setting holidays abroad or finding romance with a new flame, we’ve rounded up where some of our favourite Bachelorettes are now.

Poppy Salter, Season One: The yoga instructor made it to the top four in Art Green’s debut season of The Bachelor, winning him over with her bubbly personality (and notoriously, farting during a one-on-one date).

These days, Poppy is still a yoga devotee and has also taken up a passion for massage therapy. Since her time on The Bachelor, the free spirit has also managed to fit in trips to Japan, Laos, Indonesia and other destinations, as well as spending some time back home in the UK catching up with friends and family. Following her appearance on the show, Poppy began dating Jacob MacDonald and the pair travelled to Asia together – but in recent weeks, her beau has been conspicuously absent on her social media.

Alysha Brown, Season One: The 26-year-old teacher from Invercargill made it to the top three in Art’s season, but was eliminated after the hometown dates.

These days, the blonde beauty is still teaching English but also dabbles in fashion and beauty blogging, often sharing photos of her outfits as well as her trips overseas.

Chrystal Chenery, Season One: The yoga teacher from Christchurch quickly made a name for herself in the house thanks to her sometimes feisty interactions with the other women – but the blonde beauty caught Art’s eye and made it to the top five.

Since The Bachelor, Chrystal has found love with real estate agent Ricky Cave, who she first met while the pair were students at the same high school. The Bachelor babe also showed off her dance skills when she competed on season six of Dancing With The Stars, finishing in second place with partner Jonny Williams.

Dani Robinson, Season One: The 22-year-old marketing assistant was left heartbroken after Art chose eventual winner Matilda Rice over her in the season finale.

Since leaving The Bachelor, Dani did a stint in the UK and travelled around Europe – and along the way, found love with new beau Logan Dodds.

Fleur Verhoeven, Season Two: Hailing from Waipawa, the 26-year-old aspiring photographer made it all the way to the end of her season before splitting up with Jordan Mauger just two days after the finale aired.

These days, Fleur is happily loved up with her new man Richard Wood, and the couple have started a joint wedding photography venture together.

Naz Khanjani, Season Two: The feisty 25-year-old landscaper quickly gained notoriety on the show for her refusal to hold back in her quest to find true love with Jordan – even if that meant getting on the wrong side of some of the other Bachelorettes in the house!

Post-Bachelor life has seen Naz getting into the fitness scene, with the keen boxer posting plenty of trim and toned gym selfies on her social media channels. Since finishing as runner-up to Fleur on Jordan’s season, Naz began dating businessman (and former stripper) Craig Sutherland, but the pair went their separate ways last year. Naz was most recently linked to bodybuilder Daniel Mazzola.

Erin Higgins, Season Two: Erin, a travel-lover who previously worked as a masseuse on a super yacht, made it to the final three on Jordan’s season before she was sent home.

Since the show, Erin has moved to Sydney, where she’s found new love with boyfriend Tommy Cook.

Kate Cameron, Season Two: The account manager from Auckland won plenty of viewers over with her sense of humour and down-to-earth attitude, making it to the final five.

Since The Bachelor finished, Kate has moved on with Christchurch cricketer Brandon Hiini – and the photogenic couple recently welcomed the birth of their first child together, daughter Lucy Rose Hiini. “Our house is full of love, tears, laughs, smiles, funny smells and lots of nappy changes! I am so blessed you chose us as your parents little Lucy, we love you to bits,” the proud mum wrote on Instagram.

Lily McManus, Season Three: The 20-year-old adrenaline junkie from Australia won Zac Franich over with her free spirit and easygoing nature – but in the end, the surf lifesaving coach couldn’t bear to “cage a butterfly” and said goodbye at the final rose ceremony of the season.

Since the show finished, Lily’s been living it up in Auckland, hitting the social scene alongside her Bachelorette gal pals and fitting in trips like this one to snowy Queenstown.

Claudia Hoskins, Season Three: The aspiring interior designer had one of the most heartbreaking goodbyes this season when Zac sent her home after making it to the final three.

After the final rose, Claudia left her life in Dunedin behind to move to Auckland, where she is pursuing a career in design and recently started working at The Block NZ winners Alex and Corban’s homewares store. While she is officially single, the blonde beauty recently shared this glammed-up snap with pal Harry Crean on Instagram.

Hannah Howley, Season Three: Hailing from Invercargill, the bubbly Hannah made a big impression on Zac – even going so far as to brave an ice cold bath in Thailand for the privilege of some one-on-one time with him. In the end, however, she was sent home after making it to the final four.

Post-show, Hannah has been living it up with her fellow Bachelorettes and even shares an Auckland flat with close pal Lily, who together with winner Viarni Bright, made up the ‘Three Amigos’.
