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...

Julia Rae has been hopeful that Sheridan Reed will give her another chance after she apologized for dumping in for her crush Brandon Mills on last week’s “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart.” Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen.
“For me, it’s a no,” Sheridan told “Entertainment Tonight.” “I cannot see it happening. … I think relationships are built on trust and communication. … Trust, to an extent, has been broken.”
Sheridan was head over heels for Julia, but she also had her eyes on Brandon, who was attached to Savannah McKinley. After a successful couple date swap last week, Julia broke things off with Sheridan, while Brandon watched Savannah walk away after telling her he has feelings for Julia but would stick with Savannah. Julia and Brandon were eliminated after a tepid performance, and Julia immediately regretted casting Sheridan aside. She has since revealed that she and...

Julia Rae has been trying to make amends since her face-palm-inducing stint on “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart,” apologizing to her scorned partner Sheridan Reed and Savannah McKinley, towards whom she “misdirected” her anger. And she’s even forgiven the source of all this drama, Brandon Mills.
“I have spoken to Brandon and I’ve forgiven him,” Julia told “E! News” “I didn’t appreciate the way things went down with him but I wish him well as well.”
The 27-year-old and Brandon continued to flirt and have eyes for each other even as they were partnered with Sheridan and Savannah, respectively. Chris Harrison threw a wrench into things in the fourth episode, announcing a partner swap that, of course, paired Julia and Brandon together. After their date, Julia wanted to pursue things with Brandon, who actually preferred Savannah and basically just wanted to keep playing the field.

Of all of the musicians looking for love this season on The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart, Juila Rae might have had the toughest time of it. Sheridan Reed immediately had eyes for her, and she had eyes for both Sheridan and Brandon Mills. Brandon, meanwhile, had eyes for like four people. And even as Brandon and Savannah McKinley kept choosing each other, Brandon and Julia never forgot about one another. It seemed like Julia had finally gotten comfortable with Sheridan (and Brandon never seemed uncomfortable with Savannah) when Chris Harrison decided to step in with news of a couple swap that was clearly designed with Julia in mind. She was to go on a date with Brandon, and while the other...

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,...

The Jamie–Trevor–Ryan love triangle on “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” fizzled out before it every really took off, with Jamie choosing Trevor and Natascha swooping in in Week 2 to bag Ryan’s rose. But the show’s love quadrangle definitely isn’t ending any time soon.
On Monday’s episode, Brandon Mills, who for some reason a bunch of ladies are into, told Julia Rae that he would like to keep exploring things with her, and that he gave his rose to Savannah McKinley because he knew she was assured one from Sheridan Reed. Julia shared this with Savannah, who was, naturally, upset, and Brandon had to damage control there. But then things spiraled — or really, Julia spiraled — and she accused Savannah of being “disingenuous” in her Pda with Brandon and kept insisting that she was over him and was into Sheridan almost every time she was on camera.

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.
Jamie and Trevor were given the first date of the week, where she invited...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the series premiere of “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart.”
Amid the era of social distancing, ABC is bringing a familiar franchise back to viewers’ living rooms. “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” made its series premiere on Monday night as the newest installment in “The Bachelor” family.
The six-episode event is considered a cross between “A Star Is Born” and the standard reality series’ formula — it brings together a group of 20 single musicians and sends them on a rotation of dates in the hopes of finding love. Each week, new additions are brought into the house (a la “Bachelor in Paradise”) to shake up the couples as they navigate their relationships. While it takes the formula of “Paradise,” the show recruited a body of contestants made exclusively of performers — each with their own unique genre and...
