Whatever Happened To These Former Bachelor And Bachelorette Stars?

We first met Michelle Young when she appeared on Matt James's season of "The Bachelor," and the sweet teacher from Minnesota quickly became a fan favorite. She went on to become the next Bachelorette, getting engaged to Nayte Olukoya before the two eventually split.

So what is Young up to these days? According to her TikTok, she's wine tasting in France, riding gondolas in Venice, sailing in Barcelona, and watching the sunset in Carmel, California. She's also dancing to Beyonce with fan-favorite Bachelor alumn Mike Johnstone and visiting Disneyland with former Bachelorettes Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey. As one of her video captions says, she's "living," and we think she means her best life.

It also looks like Young is trying her hand at acting. She posted on Instagram, "Doing things I never thought I would do! Such an amazing opportunity working with @inthelightproductions on @thefriendlyfilm," along with a picture of herself holding up a movie script. According to the film's Instagram account, it's "a heartfelt war epic about a soldier and his dog." The former Bachelorette is also looking for love again. "I'm recently just getting back into the dating scene," she said in a TikTok video. Listing her ins and outs of dating in 2023, she includes ineffective communication, complacency, and emotional unavailability. Meanwhile, her green flags include someone who takes initiative, can go with the flow, has goals, and can enjoy the little things.
