Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen: Is It Over?

In 2018, despite more or less everyone’s advice, Becca Kufrin chose Garrett Yrigoyen on Season 14 of The Bachelorette.

But over the weekend, social media was abuzz. Did they break up?

Last month, Becca and Garrett celebrated the two-year anniversary of their engagement.

Though the two of them broke the Fantasy Suite bed when they finally got a chance to bone, fans took issue with Becca’s choice.

Why? Because, though Becca did not know it, Garrett was apparently a huge fan of vile, bigoted posts of the worst kind.

Becca is a good person who supports positive causes, but Garrett issued a public apology and Becca stood by him.

But naturally, fans have spent the past two years wondering how they could possibly make it work.

it’s more than just a “can a progressive and a conservative love each other?” question, because of course they can.

It’s not even clear if Garrett identifies as a conservative, but that’s also kind of moot.

The hateful memes that he “liked” transcend the political aisle, as Reality Steve pointed out when the scandal broke.

So, did something finally snap in their relationship?

Many fans speculated that Garrett had said something in relation to the murder of George Floyd or the courageous nationwide protests.

Resolving to learn and grow and do better as a person is great, but if he still had something to unlearn at this pivotal time, that could have been enough.

Did Becca finally end their engagement — an engagement that has yet to present fans with anything approaching wedding plans?

Well, Becca took to her Instagram Stories to address the rumors.

“According to social media, @gy_yrigoyen and I broke up,” she writes.

Becca continues, saying that people seemed to think that they were over “because he was gone fishing over the weekend.”

The photo that accompanied her text really says it all.

Becca Kufrin IG Story - still with Garrett Yrigoyen

In the image, we see Becca cuddling with a shirtless Garrett in bed.

Their dog is there, too.

it is a very sweet and cozy photo, and not the sort of thing that one would share after a breakup — even if it were a throwback.

As it is, we’re pretty sure that the photo is very recent.

Well, there you have it.

Maybe people saw Becca without Garrett and assumed that they were broken up.

Maybe the fandom’s opinions about whether or not they are truly compatible played a role in that.

If you believe that a couple is doomed to fall apart sooner rather than later, it’s natural that you might jump to a conclusion.

But it seems that Becca and Garrett are happy together, even if fishing is something that he does without Becca by his side.

Honestly, fishing is not for everyone, and even the most committed couples spend time apart … with rare exceptions of couple who make a point to not do that.

Garrett likes fishing so much that it’s one of the most-seen photos of him.

Many men have been ridiculed for holding a fish in their Tinder bios. Garrett’s no longer one of them — but only because he’s not on Tinder.

The Most Stunning Women in Bachelor History: Who’s #1?

It may not have the best track record when it comes to lasting love, but The Bachelor franchise does not lack for eye candy.

Let’s face it, members of Bachelor Nation have seen some truly gorgeous human beings over a decade and a half on ABC.

This is true on both sides of the gender coin.

No wonder Pete couldn’t make up his mind this season. Dude’s on his third relationship from the show … since it ended!

In any case, let’s get down to business:

Here are the hottest women of The Bachelor – some of whom became The Bachelorette, and some of whom still might.

For good reason. Obviously, this is subjective, but that’s why it’s fun. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or something.

And just so we’re clear here, we also ranked the hottest bachelors ever, so we are 100% equal opportunity objectifiers.

See if you agree or if you think we’re crazy …

Kaitlyn Bristowe, the 2015 Bachelorette, is a bona fide cutie. And was never afraid to say and do what she thinks, including how she wanted to get her field plowed by Chris Soules. That kind of comment is always good for upping the wild card hotness factor.

41. Raven Gates

The pride of Hoxie, Arkansas, Raven Gates, Nick Viall’s runner-up in 2017, is as cute as they come … making it all the more surprising that she has never come. (Sorry.)

40. Tenley Molzahn

A controversial pick, perhaps, but we always had a soft spot for chipmunk-voiced, bubbly Tenley Molzahn.

39. Caelynn Miller-Keyes

Caelynn Miller-Keyes had a great run on The Bachelor Season 23, but ultimately, Colton determined she wasn’t worthy of his final rose or first roll in the hay.

38. Courtney Robertson

Courtney Robertson reminded us often that she did modeling. Then wrote a book about reverse cowgirling Ben Flajnik in the Fantasy Suite. That is all.

37. Corinne Olympios

Corinne Olympios overdid it with her sexual antics and forced theatrics at times during Nick Viall’s season, and later on Bachelor in Paradise when she was involved in a sexual situation that temporarily shut down production. But, hey, drama aside, she is most definitely an attractive female.

The Bachelor: The Most Shocking Exits Ever … Including Tonight’s

Since the early 2000s, The Bachelor franchise has delivered shockers, emotional meltdowns and twists we never saw coming.

Usually, these result – or stem from – an elimination.

Or a dramatic departure of one’s own volition. Or someone being asked to leave by the show itself. Or just a really bad breakup.

All of the above have left an indelible mark.

With the TV cameras rolling, obviously. Not even The Bachelor spoilers or Bachelorette spoilers can prepare you for this.

Suddenly it’s no surprise that this franchise has stood the test of time, airing for 40-plus seasons, with no end in sight.

The men, the women and the moments featured on this list made their way onto it for very diverse, but very real reasons.

Often through no fault of their own.

All provided images we won’t soon forget. At least not ’til the next season airs on ABC and we update this list once again.

Where does this week’s Bachelor season finale, and its devastating heartbreak for multiple people, rank on the list?

Behold, the most stunning exits in Bachelor history 

1. DeAnna Pappas AND Jenni Croft

Brad blows everything
The one that started it all: Brad Womack rejected Jenni Croft on his season finale, and looked poised to propose to fan favorite DeAnna Pappas … who he ALSO rejected! No matter what stunners took place in subsequent years – and we’ve seen a bunch, including the most recent finale – walking away with nothing and breaking two hearts AT THE FINAL ROSE CEREMONY remains the least expected (and least popular) move in franchise history. And moreover, DeAnna became The Bachelorette and also left a fan favorite runner-up heartbroken (we’ll get to that shortly), beginning the Golden Age of Bachelor(ette) Ratings.

2. Becca Kufrin

Arie and becca
It wasn’t just that Arie Luyendyk Jr. got engaged to Becca Kufrin on The Bachelor season finale, then broke it off within a matter of weeks. We’ve seen that many times before. It wasn’t even that he went back to Lauren Burnham, his season’s runner-up, in the wake of that broken engagement. Jason Mesnick (scroll down) pulled that one off too. But the way in which Arie ended things with Becca – blindsiding her with cameras rolling, and ABC airing the 40-minute scene uncut – nearly took the top spot on this list. Just savage. Fortunately for Becca, she got a second chance as The Bachelorette that very summer, and is still together with her final rose recipient Garrett Yrigoyen.

3. Jason Mesnick

Jason mesnick deanna pappas photo
DeAnna Pappas became The Bachelorette, as we said, and threw fans for a loop by rejecting beloved single father Jason Mesnick, who was so smitten with her, in favor of Jesse Csincsak … who she stayed engaged to for like two weeks. Jason was the most obvious pick for The Bachelor in history on the heels of this, but he generated some controversy himself.

4. Melissa Rycroft

Melissa rycroft and jason mesnick
Jason Mesnick upped the ante on both Brad and DeAnna in the finale night shocker department. After getting engaged to Melissa Rycroft on his season finale, he dumped her … on the After the Final Rose special, in favor of runner-up Molly Malaney! At least this one had a happy ending, though: Jason and Molly are happily married, to this day, and have a beautiful family together.

5. Madison Prewett

Madison prewett picture
Madison Prewett’s decision to self-eliminate on The Bachelor finale in 2020 was bizarre for many reasons. 1. She had already given Peter Weber an ultimatum about not having sex with the competition, which he clearly did. 2. She appared to be eliminating herself earlier this season, but showed up at the penultimate rose ceremony and received a rose instead of Victoria Fuller. 3. Peter’s family approved of this! They seemed 100% sold on Madison’s fellow finalist Hannah Ann Sluss, who is 100% sold on Peter … but despite the fact that Hannah Ann was the only one left after Madison’s departure, he’s not feeling it! Remind you of Arie, anyone? Peter sure did a number on her, not to mention …

6. Hannah Ann Sluss

Cuddling with hannah ann
Hannah Ann Sluss’ exit from the show was unlike anything in franchise history. She got engaged to Peter Weber on the finale, only to get dumped after the fact and lay out – live on After the Final Rose – all the reasons Pete strung her along, led her on, withheld critical information, only proposed to her so he didn’t have to let her go, robbed her of her first engagement, and most of all, failed to act like a real man. Just an epic performance by Hannah Ann, who conducted herself with the confidence and maturity you wouldn’t expect from a 23-year-old. Kudos to her.

The Bachelorette: Leading Ladies Ranked By Relationship Length!

If The Bachelorette spoilers are any indication, Clare Crawley will be handing out the roses this summer on the long-running show.

Her age, 38, has been the topic of many headlines, but 38 is far from old. It’s just mature. As in Clare is ready to find a life partner.

Yet if look at the venerable franchise’s track record, however, the Californian’s odds of long-term success are mixed at best.

Why do we say that?

Isn’t it obvious? This is a dating competition throwing two people together under a pretense that is literally impossible to sustain.

Can they transition into real life, establish a new normal and make it work? They can, but often times, they fall short of that goal.

Which stars made it work?

Which flamed out fast?

We have ranked the 16 stars of The Bachelorette based on who was most successful at finding love during her stint as queen.

See how they stack up from worst to first, and see if C-squared can find what some (if not all) of her predecessors have found …

1. Hannah Brown

Hannah brown picture
Our most recent Bachelorette, Hannah Brown a.k.a. Hannah Beast a.k.a. Alabama Hannah a.k.a. Beast Mode, comes in first, or last, depending on your point of view. Hannah got engaged to Jed Wyatt on The Bachelorette, but that was over by the time we got to the After the Final Rose special, at which point she asked out runner-up Tyler Cameron. (That short-lived romance fizzled also.) Hopefully Clare can clear this very low bar.

2. Jen Schefft

Jen schefft
Bachelorette Jen Schefft broke up with winner Jerry Ferris on the After the Rose special because she just “wasn’t feeling it.” Not even making it to the day after the finale? As we saw with Hannah Brown, Jen set a low bar set for everyone else at least.

3. Clare Crawley

Clare crawley the bachelorette
Clare Crawley’s journey hasn’t even started filming yet, but even if The Bachelorette’s 2020 season ends in shambles, you can’t flame out harder than Jen or Hannah B., so she’s already ahead two spots in these rankings!

4. Emily Maynard

Emily maynard bachelorette photo
Emily Maynard and Jef Holm broke up just a few months after his proposal in 2012. He was never the right guy anyway. Should’ve picked Sean Lowe. Not that she or Sean (who is happily married to Catherine Giudici, who he met on The Bachelor) are overthinking it right now. Sean and Catherine are about as happy as a couple can be, while Emily has since married and had a bunch of kids with Tyler Johnson.

5. Andi Dorfman

Andi dorfman and josh murray on the bachelorette
Andi Dorfman found love with Josh Murray on The Bachelorette, a move that she seemed destined to make from the start despite a lot of red flags. The heart wants what it wants, we suppose … including breakups. Unfortunately, their engagement ended after only six months or so.

6. DeAnna Pappas

Deanna pappas stephen stagliano picture
DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak broke up seven months after their finale aired. Silver linings: Her journey introduced us to Jason Mesnick, one of the more popular contestants in franchise history, and DeAnna went on to marry Stephen Stagliano, a high school teacher and the twin brother of former Bachelorette contestant Mike Stagliano!
