In January 2023, it was announced that former Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas and Stephen Stagliano had split.
“It is with immense sadness, Stephen & I have decided to end our relationship as a couple. We have been working hard for a long time — both as a married couple & as individuals & have come to the conclusion to remain separate,. We remain loving parents to our beautiful children, Addison & Austin, & will continue to raise them together with love & faith. We ask you to respect our privacy during this difficult time as we navigate the new normal. We want to thank our dear friends & family for your endless support & many, many prayers during what has become the most difficult time of our lives,” she posted on Instagram.
DeAnna was The Bachelorette during the 2008 season and was also a previous contestant on The Bachelor. She met her husband Stephen through his brother Michael Stagliano, who happened to be a contestant on The Bachelorette.

Bachelor in Paradise‘s Brandon Jones and Serene Russell have ended their engagement.
The couple announced the news on Monday (May 8). In a statement on Instagram, they wrote, “After many months, today we have ultimately decided to end our engagement. We have tried to work privately on our relationship which has been incredibly challenging in the public eye. This has been immensely hard to accept and painful, as there is a lot of love between the two of us. We are deeply hurting and can only ask that there be no hate. The best path for us at this time is to try and move forward and heal from this as individuals.”

They also shared that they will co-parent their dogs, Ramen and Pinot.

Kaitlyn and Jason then concluded, “Continuing our friendship is incredibly important to both of us. We feel grateful to be ending our engagement with love and respect for each other. It’s heartbreaking and sad to say goodbye, but our care and admiration for one another will never die.”
