The Bachelorettes: Where are they now?

It's been six months since the nation was gripped by the dramatic turn of events following season two of The Bachelor NZ.

While fans of the show didn't get the love story they were hoping for, some attention-grabbing Bachelorettes and a fleeting romance that spectacularly crashed and burned still loom large in their memories.

So what have some of the more memorable Bachelorettes been up to since moving on from Jordan Mauger?

Fleur Verhoeven

Life has certainly been a rollercoaster for Fleur Verhoeven since she "won" the second season of the show.

After enduring a very public split from Mauger just days after the show's finale aired on TV3, the bubbly blonde soon bounced back with a new career venture – and a new relationship.

In July, Verhoeven confirmed she was in a relationship with photographer Richard Wood, who had earlier shot the Bachelorette as a phoenix rising from ashes.

The couple have since gone into business together, launching a wedding photography venture, and recently enjoyed a long holiday in the US and Mexico.

Nazanin Khanjani

And it's certainly been a rollercoaster few months for Bachelor runner-up, Nazanin "Naz" Khanjani, too.

Although she was a hot favourite to win the final rose on the show, Khanjani found herself jilted by Mauger at the 11th hour. But it wasn't long before there was a new romance in the air for the woman who was loved and loathed in equal measure by Bachelor fans.

Khanjani was soon shacked up with digital marketing consultant, Craig Sutherland, with the duo posting regular gushing posts to their respective social media accounts. Sutherland was also by Khanjani's side when she stepped into the celebrity boxing ring and beat Paul Henry's daughter, Bella.

However, the relationship hasn't been without its speed bumps. The couple called it quits two weeks ago, but have reportedly since decided to give their romance another go. 

Erin Higgins

Erin Higgins, the Bachelorette famously sent home after she turned Mauger down for an overnight date, made the decision to skip New Zealand shortly after the show aired.

After a short stint on the Auckland social scene, including whiskey parties with Mauger and birthday parties with Max Key, Higgins hopped on a plane to Sydney, telling her Instagram fans it was a one-way ticket.

And it looks like life across the ditch certainly agrees with her!
