Former Bachelorette Becca Kurfin and Garrett Yrigoyen have officially ended their engagement.
Kufrin confirmed the split on the podcast she cohosts with fellow Bachelorette album Rachel Lindsay, Bachelor Happy Hour. Becca recorded the news alone, however, saying that she “didn’t think it was fitting to bring anyone else into this conversation when my relationship was only made up of two people: myself and Garrett.”
“I don’t think it’s going to come as a shock to anyone, but Garrett and I have decided to end our engagement,” Kufrin shared on the podcast. “Garrett and I came to this decision after many conversations. It wasn’t just something we just arrived at one night,” Kufrin continued. “It wasn’t based solely off of one Instagram post or somebody else’s opinions or comments. There’s much more to it. To any relationship, there’s a lot of layers. It’s not for me to divulge details. It’s no one’s business other than what I’m telling you right now.”
Kufrin opened up adding that “it’s really hard to be sitting here talking with you all today and admitting this because I don’t think anyone is prepped for giving a public statement for a breakup.”
“We went on this crazy TV show over two years ago in hopes of finding love, and we were lucky enough that we did,” Kufrin continued. “We really, truly did. I’m so grateful for that opportunity and to have had the two-plus years with Garrett. Like I said, I still have so much love and compassion in my heart for him. Just because we’ve arrived at this decision now doesn’t take away all of the years and the countless memories that we’ve made together. I will always look back at this time in my life with so much gratitude and love.”
Kufrin also took to social media to share an official statement about the breakup. She wrote, “With a heavy heart, Garrett and I have come to the loving conclusion to end our engagement. All that we will share is that we still have nothing but love and respect for one another even though we’ve decided to go down our own separate paths. While we’ve arrived at this point, it doesn’t diminish the countless, amazing memories made together. We hope that everyone can allow us grace, respect, and the time to heal our hearts as we navigate this next chapter in our lives.”
