'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' franchise couples who are still together

Many fans have been tuning on Monday nights to watch love journeys unfold and drama unravel. While not every Bachelor or Bachelorette ends up with their final person, once in a while the stars do align. Check out all the couples who actually made it work.

On Monday night's episode of "The Bachelorette," a familiar face was spotted during Rachel Recchia's hometown date with Zach Shallcross. 

Shallcross took Recchia to meet his family in his hometown of Anaheim Hills, California, where she was met with actor Patrick Warburton, who turns out to be Shallcross' real life uncle. 

Warburton is best known for portraying one of Elaine's (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) boyfriends, David Puddy on "Seinfeld."

The actor was briefly shown in the promo for the week's episode, where he says"I just feel sorry for those other fellas." 

Warburton took to Twitter after the promo was released to tease his appearance on the show. 

"I'm being asked ‘why are you on ’The Bachelorette?' It's my favorite show? I'm addicted..? I have a crush on that Zach Shallcross fellow? Or…all of the above? Or…Zach is my nephew? Or…all of the above?" the actor tweeted on August 16.
