Evan Marriott and Zora Andrich did not stay together after Joe Millionaire. Zora said in February 2003 that they had broken up and were friends. Later accounts describe Evan returning to construction and starting a company, but the available reporting does not verify either person’s life in 2026.

What happened to Evan and Zora after the finale?

In the 2003 finale, Evan chose Zora after revealing that he was not the wealthy heir the contestants had been led to expect. The show awarded them a $1 million check. The Associated Press reported at the time that Evan was a construction worker earning $19,000 a year; that figure describes his reported income during the show, not his later earnings. Associated Press reporting via CBS News.

The relationship ended soon after filming. In a February 2003 interview with TV Guide, Zora said, “We’re just friends.” She explained that she realized almost immediately after filming that the relationship was not meant to be, and that the reunion special’s editing made the couple seem more hopeful than they were.

Where are they now?

Evan Marriott

Retrospective coverage says Evan returned to construction after the show and later started his own company in Orange County. Bustle’s account, updated in 2024, draws on older interviews and reporting; it documents post-show history, not his current employment, residence, or business status.

Zora Andrich
