Which Bachelor Winter Games couples are still together? Who gets engaged on tonight’s finale?
By Ruby Maxwell
The Bachelor Winter Games finale will end with a love story for some contestants, but not everyone will get the happily-ever-after they expected.
Four episodes of the Winter Games is not enough for fans of the newest Bachelor spinoff, but two weeks was enough time for a few contestants to find love. During Thursday night’s finale, four couples will leave the show with a promise to continue their relationship off-camera.
Which couples are still together and who broke up after filming wrapped in December? Oh, and what about that engagement? Fans will see that happen during tonight’s Bachelor World Tell All, the reunion show that will air after the Winter Games finale. Here’s the scoop on the contestants who fell in (and out) of love this season.
Four couples get overnight dates
Bibiana and Jordan go home before Chris offers overnight dates to the remaining contestants. That leaves four couples — Dean and Lesley, Courtney and Lily, Luke and Stassi, and Kevin and Ashley — who say, “yes” to an overnight date.
When the couples appear on the Bachelor Winter Games after-show, it is revealed that only two couples actually spent the night together. It’s not a big shocker to find out Dean/Leslie and Ashley/Kevin shared a bed, although Ashley makes it clear that she didn’t lose her virginity that night.
Which couples are still together? Who got engaged?
The relationship status of all four couples will be revealed on Thursday night’s after-show. Here’s what we know so far…
Lesley and Dean
It’s a no-brainer that they are still together — they’re not hiding their relationship on social media. Dean gives Lesley a key to his apartment during the reunion, but they are not engaged. (Yet!)
Stassi and Luke
If anyone thinks this couple makes it to the altar, they’re dreaming! Apparently, they split after filming ended in December, but Stassi had no clue they weren’t together.
According to Reality Steve, Stassi will call Luke out for “ghosting” her, but Luke claims he tried to message her on Instagram and never had her phone number. Sorry, we don’t believe you, Luke — we call bullsh*t!
Courtney and Lily
There’s no controversy surrounding this couple — they’re still together. They tell Chris Harrison that they are dating and are living in Los Angeles.
Ashley and Kevin
Ashley apparently lost her virginity to Kevin after filming, but the topic isn’t a big deal on the after-show. Although her virginity has always been a major storyline on the Bachelor and in Paradise, it was not the focus on the Winter Games. Are they still together now? Here’s the scoop…
Kevin is staying in Ashley’s L.A. apartment, so they are still dating. According to Reality Steve, she’s been talking to friends about losing her virginity post-show, but she won’t confirm it on the after-show.
Does it matter? No. Who cares? She’s a grown woman and can do whatever she wants.
The major concern here is —will Kevin stick around or did he choose to start a relationship with Ashley to keep his name in lights?
Does he have his sights set on becoming the Bachelor Canada? Time will tell.
So, who got engaged?!

There were no proposals among final four couples, although we can totally see Dean and Lesley in a long-term relationship.
Instead, it’s a couple who split up during the Bachelor Winter Games who got back together after filming.
If spoilers are correct, we’ll see Clare get engaged to Benoit during the final moments of Thursday night’s after-show.
Although Benoit left the show last week, he reportedly contacted Clare when filming wrapped to find out how she was doing.
Clare and Benoit have been seeing each other since then (end of December) and are now engaged.
Will they get married? Let’s hope Clare doesn’t break Benoit’s heart!
Watch The Bachelor Winter Games finale at 8 p.m. ET, followed by the World Tell All special at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
