On Thursday, Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff called off their engagement, releasing a joint statement which said that they "will continue to be supportive friends."

This information has been a hard pill to swallow for fans of The Bachelor.

In an interview with Home & Family co hosts, Mark Steines and Cristina Ferrare, Chris Harrison, the host of the show has related that he feels the same way that many fans of the show does.

In the interview, he shared his viewpoint on Soules and Bischoff's break up.

"I was really sorry to hear this morning that Chris and Whitney had ended their engagement," he stated, also adding that after Soules competed on Dancing With the Stars, he moved back to his farm in Iowa.

"I thought that they had given it a go and were going back together but apparently not. I wish them the best."

Harrison also revealed that he had been sharing his support as a friend with Soules through text messages on Thursday.

"I will admit I've texted Chris on and off today just to let him know I wish them both well and they're good friends of mine and if there's anything I can do or help with."

He added that he does get involved with contestants from the show, and that all of the people who come on the show are real to him.

"They were just two kids who were hopefully going to get married and they're not now and that's sad," said Harrison.
