Bachelor In Paradise stars Chris Randone and Krystal Nielson have decided to call it quits.
The reality TV couple, who tied the knot in a TV wedding officiated by Chris Harrison last summer, released a joint statement about their breakup, on Valentine’s Day, no less.
“It hurts to announce that at this moment, we have mutually decided to separate,” Chris and Krystal said in a statement to BachelorNation.com. “Never did we imagine this scenario, but we’ve come to a point where we both need to work on ourselves.”
The couple added that they remain best friends and “love and care for each other so deeply.” While their relationship started out in the spotlight on the ABC dating show, the exes are now asking for privacy.
But that didn’t stop fans from weighing in. In the comments to Krystal’s latest Instagram post, fans urged her to fight for her marriage.
