Chris & Whitney: Split

SEASON: The Bachelor Season 19

STATUS: Split

Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff became engaged on the final episode of The Bachelor (season 19). The engagement happened in a barn full of lanterns and every yeehaw, hoedown knick-knack that the producers could find in Iowa's flea markets. Fun fact: Chris raised his first pig in that barn.

They announced their amicable split in May 2015, while the Bachelorette with Kaitlyn was airing. No reasons given.


No longer planning on populating Arlington

Some thought that Chris and Whitney seemed a bit off on The Final Rose episode. Before the show aired, Whitney secretly visited Chris in Iowa. They spoke about having some fights, when Chris Harrison asked, but they generally seemed happy with each other. The choice to do Dancing With the Stars maybe didn't help them cement their relationship, but the outcome likely would have been the same. 

This brings the Bachelor stats to a 10.5% marriage rate.

Tim & April: Split

SEASON: Bachelor Canada (Season 2)

STATUS: Split after 6 months

Tim Warmels and April Brockman have broken their engagement. Not a real surprise, but no one likes a break up. It's sad to say, but April never seemed that into Tim.

She seems to be recoiling

But the ring was nice

Here's what Tim had to say about it on his blog:
"Sometimes the right decisions are some of the toughest to make and it is with very heavy hearts we say that although we love each other very much, we have decided to end our engagement. We wanted to take some time to come to terms with our situation before announcing it. We want everyone to know that we both still very deeply believe in the kind of love that we were looking for when we went on the show and we believe this love exists now more than ever. Our love for each other has been very real and we’ve learned an incredible amount from each other that we will grow positively because of. We’ve experienced so much love, we have no regrets and we cherish the journey we’ve gone through together. We’ve come to realize that we are better suited as great friends and we will always remain so. We know in our hearts that this is the right decision for us, even though it has been one of the hardest decisions in our lives. We are so thankful to everyone who supported us and who has shown us so much love throughout our relationship. April & Tim"

That's zero for two for Bachelor Canada. Brad and Bianka from Season 1 splitabout two years after the show. Hmmm, maybe it's time to give a Canadian Bachelorette a chance!

Andi & Josh: Split

SEASON: Bachelorette Season 10

STATUS:
Split after 6 months


Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray looked great together. In fact, they kind of looked related. The lawyer and former professional basketball player were engaged on the final episode of Andi's season.

Don't they look related?

The couple seemed happy at their public appearances, but about 5 months after the final episode of the show, they announced that their engagement was over. Andi had also resigned from her job as a prosecutor.

Chris Harrison said he noticed that something was off at the premiere of Chris Soules's season of the Bachelor. Anyone watching may have remarked that Andi was rubbing Josh's back a little too enthusiastically. They didn't have a wedding date, another red flag.

In their joint statement they announced:

"After several months of being engaged and working on our relationship, we have decided that it's best for both of us to go our separate ways"

Chris Harrison interviewed Andi on a special episode of Chris Soules's season. Andi cried throughout and explained that she and Josh were too similar to each other. She said that they "didn't better each other" and neither would back down in a fight. Josh was her first love - and her first heartbreak. The break-up was described as mutual, but Andi seemed devastated nevertheless.

She moved from Atlanta to New York City. She was reportedly spotted with runner-up Nick Viall, but maintained that she was single.

Chris Harrison always seemed kind of smitten with Andi, they would probably make a good couple, ya'll.

Michelle & Cody: Split

SEASON: Bachelor in Paradise (Season 1)

STATUS: Split after 6 months

After about 6 months of dating, this unlikely couple has broken up. Michelle Money and Cody Sattler got together at the end of Bachelor in Paradise, and the relationship was never very convincing. After the Fantasy Suite, Michelle was VERY enthusiastic, but there wasn't enough there to sustain cheeky Michelle and muscle man Cody. Here's Michelle's statement from Facebook:

"After 6 months of dating, Cody and I have decided that we are going to move on from our relationship. I feel very blessed and fortunate to have shared such beautiful memories with such an incredible guy. Bachelor in Paradise was more then I could have imagined. Cody truly has blessed my life and the life of my daughter in more ways than he will ever know. His positive impact on Brielle is something I will forever be grateful for.
This decision has been a very difficult one to make, to say the least. Especially with all the amazing love and support we have felt from so many fans! I personally want to thank each of you for the encouragement you have given me as a single mom trying to make the right decisions for my daughter and myself.
I am so grateful I followed my heart and that it lead me to Cody. He has made me feel so loved and so appreciated. I only wish that it could have ended up the way we had hoped. I wish nothing but happiness and love for Cody! Brielle and I look forward to a life long friendship with him and will always love and support him in all he does. Thanks to everyone, again, for all the love and support!"
