I am honestly so heartbroken over this latest Bachelorette breakup news.
JP Rosenbaum, the man who got down on one knee in now-wife Ashley Hebert's season of The Bachelorette, posted the announcement today that they've been separated for months and have decided to live their lives separately moving forward.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Rosenbaum wrote the following:
"I have written and rewritten this post dozens of times and each tie I feel the same level of disbelief and extreme sadness. While I realize that this will come as a complete shock to everyone, I can assure you that this is something that has been developing in our relationship for quite a while. It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that after months of separation, Ashley and I have amicably decided to live our lives apart from one another.
Please please please know that there is no one to blame, that there's no event that triggered this decision, that no one is the victim, and that we've done absolutely everything we possibly can to try to salvage this marriage. I think we've both come to realize that we are just two very different people, with very different personalities and perspectives, who just don't see eye to eye on a lot of life fundamentals, those which are building blocks for a happy and healthy marriage.
We have created the most beautiful, sweet and loving children, and have created so many unforgettable memories that we'll always cherish. Our differences, however, have taken a toll on our relationship and after years of attempting to repair the damage, we've decided that it is in our family's best interest [to> live our lives apart."
Rosenbaum added that he and Ashley will continue to co-parent their children, Fordy and Essie. While he didn't explicitly say "divorce," the implication is there.
