Ali Fedotowsky’s Season 6 of ‘The Bachelorette’: Where Are They Now?

Bachelor Nation has been keeping up with Ali Fedotowsky for more than a decade. Viewers first met Ali as she pursued pilot Jake Pavelka on The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love in 2010. After the fan-favorite was forced to quit the show due to pressure from her employer, ABC named her the sixth Bachelorette. Ali’s journey to find love ended with her getting engaged to Roberto Martinez during the August 2010 finale, but only after frontrunner Frank Neuschaefer walked away during the final weeks. “I was devastated, like Frank and Roberto, they were my top two from night one, always knew it was going to be the two of them,” Ali told Us Weekly exclusively on our Bachelor podcast, “Here for the Right Reasons,” in March 2020. “And I told everybody after the show, ‘Oh, I was always going to choose Roberto with no question. There’s no question.’ Well, now here I am, 10 years later, finally admitting I didn’t know. If Frank had stayed, it might have been Frank.” The blogger, whose romance with Roberto didn’t last, added that she struggled with being the lead of the reality show. “It is so difficult. I hated being the Bachelorette. And that’s the truth,” Ali told Us. “I am beyond grateful. Like, my life would not be what it is today. If I wasn’t on that show, I wouldn’t have the platform I have. I wouldn’t have the amazing community around me. I wouldn’t have met my husband, wouldn’t have my kids, like, I’m so beyond grateful for The Bachelorette. But I hated my experience.” [jwplayer 4eQo0JU8-l3ahXupL] Several months later, Ali admitted she was not looking forward to revisiting the show when her season was picked for an August 2020 episode of The Bachelor: The Greatest of All Time. “Oh man. I just puked in my mouth a little bit 😂,” she commented on The Bachelor’s official Instagram about the episode. “I’m soooooo nervous to watch this! Ha!” Her husband, Kevin Manno, however, was ready to watch. “@kevinmanno has never seen it but he’s EXCITED to watch,” she wrote. “I’m concerned about his mental health now 😂😂😂.” Scroll through for an update from the biggest names from season 6: Hear the Us Weekly editors break down the most surprising celebrity births during the pandemic in under 2 minutes!

During the Bachelorette reunion in 2019, Ali admitted that she and Frank hooked up after her split from Roberto. "Honestly, I don't think I've ever told anybody this, but after Roberto and I broke up, I actually went on a date with Frank, and we were romantic for, like, a night!" she dished.

Frank is married and works as a finance director in Chicago, according to LinkedIn.

Following his stint on the Bachelorette, Kirk returned for season 2 of Bachelor Pad and season 2 of Bachelor in Paradise.

The singer subsequently released a song called “Blindsided: A Song for Kirk” and returned to Paradise for season 3 to meet now-husband Evan Bass.

Kirk, meanwhile, works as a personal trainer and coach and has a longtime girlfriend named Jess Peterson.

Us broke the news in 2014 that Ty married Elizabeth Kitt, who appeared on Jake’s season 14 alongside Ali.

"The ceremony took place yesterday in our barn on our wooded property," they told Us at the time. "We had just immediate family in attendance. We wrote our own vows, so the ceremony was very intimate and personal."

The twosome welcomed daughter Blakely in April 2018. Ty started releasing country music in 2010.

In 2019, Craig revealed he secretly struggled with depression and drug use.

“[On The Bachelorette], it wasn’t something that I needed necessarily throughout the day. But certainly, with the amount of alcohol that I had available to me on the show, I made do with what I had. … I drank every day on that show. I hope that doesn’t come across in any way as me somehow blaming anyone,” he said on the “Reality Steve” podcast.

The lawyer revealed he quit his job in February 2018 and attempted suicide that June.

“I had drank a lot of whiskey, like I said, had taken a few sleeping pills and was also on cocaine, so there was quite a mixture of things going on in my body at that point in time,” he explained. “But I’ll tell you that it was something that I really, like, deeply thought about for about the week before that.”

Craig subsequently checked into treatment.

Justin Rego

While Justin kept a low-profile after he was kicked off the Bachelorette for lying about having a girlfriend and a short stint on Bachelor Pad season 2, he broke his silence in 2016 during a tell-all interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“[The producers are] marionettes and they are playing with us and basically trying to get us to do what they want at the end of the day,” he claimed at the time. “No matter what we try, they will do what they can to get the result that they want."
