Randolph mirrored that idea in an Instagram post of her own. âTo begin, I want to state that this is one of the most difficult things I have ever had to convey, since neither of us is quite ready to discuss it yet,â she wrote. âHowever, due to the public nature of our connection, our silence on the subject has spoken for us. Colton and I have ended our relationship but have chosen to remain friends. With all we've been through, we've developed a unique friendship that will last a lifetime.â As you may remember, the duo met on last year's 23rd season of the reality dating show, which started on January 7, 2019 and spent an abnormal amount of time focusing on Underwood's virginity. Earlier in May, it was announced that this year's Bachelor Peter Weber is presently dating Kelley Flanagan, who finished fifth. Weber dated runner-up Madison Prewett briefly this spring, after the end of The Bachelor's 24th season on March 10.
âWe have agreed not to live together until we are married. Thus, we have something to look forward to in that step,â he said at the time, adding that Randolph's schooling influenced his decision. € She still has her internship and some time to devote to it, which requires a great deal of effort and a great deal of her energy and attention. I can't image trying to arrange a wedding while also avoiding a lengthy engagement. Thus, we want to ensure that the time is correct.â
"In a strange way, I broke up with myself. I was thinking, I feel like we need to work things out, and to do so, we need space. She concurred. Thus, it was mutual,â he said in the book. However, as he revealed two days later, âit was like, âI miss you!â
The pair previously split in August 2019, as the former NFL athlete, 28, described in his forthcoming book, âThe First Time.
âTo be very candid, we recognized after the show that we werenât communicating as effectively as we previously did,â Underwood stated in an extract acquired by People. âNo one was pressuring us to discuss serious issues, so we let a lot of things to fester.â
