The couple broke up after months of speculation

In June 2020, Yrigoyen published an Instagram post in support of law enforcement as the U.S. held protests against racism and police brutality. Yriogyen’s post contradicted Kufrin’s views of the Black Lives Matter movement, and he received backlash for the post.

In a Bachelor Happy Hour episode posted on June 13, Kufrin admitted that she did not know where things stood with Yrigoyen. The two then proceeded to spend months apart. After months of speculation, Kufrin announced the breakup on Bachelor Happy Hour and Instagram.

“With a heavy heart, Garrett and I have come to the loving conclusion to end our engagement. All that we will share is that we still have nothing but love and respect for one another even though we’ve decided to go down our own separate paths,” Kufrin wrote on Instagram.
