'Bachelor' Chris Soules Breakup Rumors: Former 'Bachelor' and Partner Whitney Bischoff Split
Another Bachelor couple has bit the dust. Chris Soules, of The Bachelor season 19, and his fiancée Whitney Bischoff have broken off their engagement.
This occurs just two months after fans of the popular reality television dating series watched Soules propose to Bischoff, who was his final pick on the season 19 series finale.
In a joint statement, the couple announced their decision to split up, on Thursday May 28 to Us Weekly.
The statement said "Whitney Bischoff and Chris Soules have mutually and amicably decided to end their engagement.
They part with nothing but respect and admiration for one another and will continue to be supportive friends. They wish to thank everyone who has supported them through this journey."
The creator of The Bachelor, Mike Fleiss first announced the news on his Twitter account with a tweet which read, "Sad news to report: @souleschris and @whitbisch are no longer engaged."
The couple recently celebrated six months being engaged and battled rumors that they were about to break up while Soules competed in Dancing With the Stars.
In fact, on May 4, Soules told Us Weekly that they were still together and in love as well.
"We're together and we're in love," said Soules at the broadcast of Dancing With the Stars.
"We're making the best of a really cool situation that we're both a part of that's not going to last much longer... We're just normal people living a kind of abnormal life for a couple more weeks."
This is the second failed Bachelor relationship of the year.
