“It’s with a great amount of heartbreak for the both us as we have decided to end our engagement,” the Bachelor Nation alums wrote in a statement, per Us Weekly. “We gave this relationship our all and we are saddened that we did not get the fairy-tale ending we hoped for. We will continue to be there for each other no matter what.”

“YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING AND I CANNOT WAIT TO BE FOREVER AND EVER WITH YOU,” Grimaldi wrote on Instagram to share the news.
Then in an interview with People, the former reality star gushed over the proposal, noting it was a surprise.
“I knew we were going to get engaged eventually. But I had no idea it was going to happen when it did,” she said. “Josh is the first person I am with where I am at complete ease and where I never second-guessed his love for me.”
She added, “I’ve been ready to say YES! I am the luckiest woman!”
Meanwhile, it seems Grimaldi and Wolfe are holding off on wedding plans for the time being. But Grimaldi knows what she wants when the time comes.
“I envision something small, simple and intimate with my closest friends and family,” she said.
