The inaugural season of “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” wrapped Monday, naming Chris Watson and Bri Strauss as the first winners of the series. Their success came with a promise of writing, recording, and touring their music as a pair, but where are they now? And which couples are still together and making music? We tracked down the musicians for relationship updates and — hopefully — some new tunes to listen to!
Chris Watson and Bri Strauss
The winners of the series were last seen during the finale recording their track “Beyond,” which dropped on their self-titled debut album Tuesday. The tracks include five original songs, in addition to five covers from their previous “Listen To Your Heart” performances.
While the pair is very much still together, they’re quarantining separately in their respective home-states. Their album “Chris and Bri” is available on all streaming platforms.

“The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” winners Chris Watson and Bri Stauss are still together and have already dropped an album, but like any Bachelor Nation series, not every couple found a happy ending on the show.
The musical spin-off boasted a cast of 23 singing singles, but almost half of them were gone after the first two weeks of “Bachelor in Paradise”-esque mingling and eliminating. And then we lost another duo, Gabe Baker and Ruby Jane Smith (remember them?), because he was pining for the taken Savannah McKinley.
Seven couples were formed (some had been attached at the hip from the beginning) — Chris and Bri, Jamie Gabrielle and Trevor Holmes, Rudi Gutierrez and Matt Ranaudo, Natascha Bessez and Ryan Neal, Julia Rae and Sheridan Reed, Brandon Mills and Savannah, and Bekah Purifoy and Danny Padilla — for the weekly judged performances, aka when the real show began. But few...

Not that there’s been a lot, but Monday’s episode of “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” was by far the most dramatic one yet, as Julia Rae and Brandon Mills‘ incessant flirting and lack of commitment torpedoed two couples after they dumped their partners, Sheridan Reed and Savannah McKinley, respectively, to be with each other only to get eliminated. A big fat yikes all around. And Julia knows it.
“I am cringing with America,” she told “Entertainment Tonight.” “I lead with my emotions and that doesn’t always serve you well. I am an open book and I just blurt it out when I’m thinking it.”
As Chris Harrison warned us all, the Julia and Brandon drama was wild in Monday’s episode. After a couple swap paired them on a date together, Julia decided to end things with Sheridan, who’d been nothing but hopelessly devoted to her,...

Last week on “The Bachelor presents: Listen to Your Heart,” the rose power went to a panel of judges, who eliminated Bekah Purifoy and Danny Padilla for their lack of chemistry onstage.

Natascha Bessez spent so much of the second episode of “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” trying to expose Trevor Holmes‘ past infidelity that it almost felt like she forgot there was some important business to take care of: ensure you get a rose to stick around. She did just that, flirting up a storm and making out with Ryan Neal, the last “single” guy, to earn his rose. And now they’ll go on their first date on Monday’s episode.
The new couple head to the House of Blues in Anaheim, Calif., to take in a concert by country star Chris Lane.

Natascha Bessez came in like a freight train on Monday’s “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” to expose Trevor Holmes‘ alleged cheating ways. The “American Idol” alum would only admit to “emotional cheating” on Natascha’s friend and came clean to his paramour Jamie Gabrielle, who decided to give him a second chance, which seems like a big mistake. Huge, you could say. Especially since the 21-year-old had just cried to the other girls that she’s been cheated on in “every relationship that I’ve ever been in.”
So why did she decide to stick with a guy who just copped to emotionally cheating on his ex-girlfriend? “I was just trying to follow my heart and to go with those feelings,” Jamie told “Entertainment Tonight” (watch below). “And I had, you know, spent the time I had with him, and you know, I, you know, asked my questions,...

Just two episodes into The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart, a major bombshell has already been dropped on one couple. Jamie and Trevor found their way to each other on the first night, and Jamie quickly abandoned her other prospect, Ryan, to give Trevor her rose. But while Jamie and Trevor were then on a date, where Jamie confessed to him that she'd been cheated on in every relationship she had had, a newcomer arrived at the mansion. Natascha Bessez came in with a bang, quickly deducing that the Trevor who was on a date was the same Trevor who had dated her friend, and therefore the same Trevor who had cheated on her friend. She told the whole group about this and then immediately, though...

Natascha Bessez was one of three new women to join “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” in the second week, and she by far made the biggest impression. After inquiring if the Trevor of the house was “Trevor from ‘American Idol'” on Monday’s episode, she took matters into her own hands, confronting him about allegedly cheating on her friend, Sierra Nielsen, who was his girlfriend when he was on “Idol.” Trevor denied physically cheating and insisted there was only “emotional cheating,” as he was texting another woman. Natascha asked him to come clean to his crush Jamie, who decided to give Trevor another shot.
It seemed like the drama was over after that, in the episode at least, but Natascha still claims that Trevor physically cheated on her friend because that was what Sierra had told her.
“First of all, [emotional cheating is] just as bad in my book. ‘Oh,...

Week 1 of “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” left the mansion in good spirits and even numbers: eight men and eight women remained as they coupled off to avoid elimination. But week 2 began with warning from host Chris Harrison that that’s not how it would continue, as newcomers would be arriving to shake up the status quo.
Matt Ranaudo, who was saved the week before from Cheyenne Arnell, set the scene, describing the strongest couples: “Bri [Strauss] and Chris [Watson] are pretty much picking out the names of their kids at this point; Danny [Padilli] and Bekah [Purifoy] are really close as well, and Jamie [Gabrielle] and Trevor [Holmes] have a really good connection going on,” he said.
