It’s hard to believe that The Bachelor has been on the air for 26 seasons. Over the years, fans and followers have gotten to know and love the lucky contestants who joined the series as well as the lovely ladies that have appeared alongside ABC’s bachelors.

Sean Lowe, Matt James, and Peter Weber have been some of the series’ most unforgettable bachelors and casts to take part in the well-known franchise. Chris Soules is another former contestant who is one of The Bachelor‘s most memorable men. Soules’ season included Bachelor Nation classics like Ashley Laconetti and Kaitlyn Bristowe, and, of course, Whitney Bischoff Angel, the winner of season 19.

What has Whitney Bischoff Angel been doing since Chris Soules’ season of ‘The Bachelor’?

In March of 2015, fans and viewers watched as Soules‘ season came to an end, and Whitney Bischoff Angel accepted his romantic proposal. However, after six months of being engaged, the couple split up. 

Since then, a lot has happened for Whitney Bischoff Angel. As many can assume, based on her changed name, the former reality television star has gotten married. People shared that Whitney Bischoff Angel and Ricky Angel first met on the popular dating app Bumble back in 2015. The two hit it off and made their love official in 2017 when they got married during an intimate Cape Cod ceremony. 

How many kids does Whitney Bischoff Angel have?

At the moment, Whitney Bischoff Angel and her beau have one beautiful child. In May of 2019, the former reality TV star and her husband welcomed Hayes Singleton Angel into the world.

In an Instagram post, Whitney Bischoff Angel wrote, “He definitely has his mom’s Kentucky blood making his debut on Derby Day and his dad’s great hair and mild temperament.” Making the birth of their son even more meaningful, she went on to explain, “This Angel was truly heaven sent coming on the anniversary of my mom’s passing- no doubt he was hand-delivered.” Set to celebrate their son’s third birthday soon, the Angel family looks happier than ever.

When Whitney Bischoff Angel ended The Bachelor season 19 together, fans, viewers, and, of course, herself thought she had found her happily-ever-after. Throughout Soules’ season, Whitney Bischoff Angel’s connection with him and transparent feelings for The Bachelor star made her a front-runner. 

However, as the narratives often unfold in Bachelor Nation, things quickly went amiss when the show wrapped up. E! shared some of the details behind the couple’s decision to call it quits. According to Soules, the duo struggled to make their relationship work in the “real world”.

As the Iowa native explained, “They just dump you back into the world … It’s quite traumatic, actually. You spend two months dating like crazy and then all of a sudden there’s no cameras, there’s nothing. There’s nobody telling you what to do which is good but it’s also a transition.” 

Though the couple was free of cameras, Soules, on the other hand, was participating in Dancing With the Stars, which made the couple’s schedules and reality even more challenging. The breakup was reported as mutual and amicable, but a source close to the reality television stars shared that the split left Whitney Bischoff Angel “heartbroken.”

Even though it may have been a tough breakup for her, in retrospect, it seemed like everything worked out in the end. Unlike his famous ex, Soules is still searching for “the one.” Fans and followers probably remember when he got together with fellow Bachelor Nation star Victoria Fuller, but as ScreenRant shared, they didn’t end up working out.
