Ben Flajnik faced his fair share of heartbreak as part of Bachelor Nation. First he was rejected by Ashley Hebert as the runner-up in Season 7 of The Bachelorette; then he got engaged to Courtney Robertson on Season 16 of The Bachelor, only to have that relationship fizzle out shortly after the season aired. Fortunately, it seems like Ben has had a relatively normal, fulfilling life since then—with just a sprinkling of reality TV magic.

Ben Flajnik Now

Let’s start with the showbiz razzle-dazzle. Believe it or not, after his time on The Bachelor, Ben was rumored to be in a romantic relationship with none other than reality TV matriarch Kris Jenner. Jenner quashed those rumors on Bachelor Live in 2016but she did say that the two were friends. 

Other than that bit of gossip, Ben’s post-Bachelor life has reportedly been pretty down-to-earth. He was in a serious relationship for a while with a woman he met on Tinder, but in 2017 Ben revealed that the two had broken up. Today, he lives in San Francisco and works at Yelp. He’s also branched out into making wine and spirits, co-founding the company Fernet Francisco. 

As for the remarkably cute baby in all of his Instagram photos? That’s his niece. Ben is still very much a bachelor, as far as we can tell.
