Lowe and Giudici initially met while filming The Bachelor's 17th run of episodes, which initially aired in 2013.

Prior to headlining his own season of the program, the author appeared on the 12th run of The Bachelorette, where he was the third-place runner-up.

Following the conclusion of the 17th season, the two tied the knot during a ceremony in Santa Barbara, which the former college football player's father officiated.

The happy couple welcomed a son named Samuel Thomas, aged four, two years after they said their vows, and they went on to add Isaiah Hendrix and Mia Mejia, aged three and one, respectively, to their family.

Lowe and Giudici appear to have made their final appearances on the Bachelor franchise, as the former has offered his support to Harrison.

Harrison, 49, became embroiled in controversy regarding Rachael Kirkconnell, a contestant on The Bachelor's 25th season, which featured Matt James as its lead.

Earlier this year, it was discovered that the 24-year-old graphic designer had participated in an 'Old South'-themed ball during her time in college, and pictures of the event were distributed online.

Shortly after the photos were made public, Harrison was asked about his view of the situation and allegations of racism by former Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay during an interview for Extra.

The television host expressed that he was reserving judgement on the matter which was seen as him defending Kirkconnell's actions. Days after the interview he apologized, however, Lindsay took exception and threatened to leave the franchise. 

Harrison later announced that he would be stepping away from his duties in order to deflect attention away from The Bachelor and its related shows.

Kirkconnell would go on to win the 25th season of the program, and after briefly splitting from James, they eventually reconciled and have been seen out and about several times in the recent past. 

In March, Harrison expressed regret for his past statements, and several guest hosts were brought in to fill the television personality's role.

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Harrison would be leaving the Bachelor franchise permanently, which resulted in an uproar from many of its longtime fans.
