“All I have to say is that I’m heartbroken,” Tayshia said. “We tried really hard, and I still love him very much. I’m not sure what the future holds. I mean, you know how it is. It’s really tough.”
“I sadly do know how it is,” said Kaitlyn, who broke up with Shawn Booth three years after their engagement in The Bachelorette Season 11. “It’s really hard. But we’re here for you, and obviously, we want you to be happy.”

“I am definitely hanging in there,” Tayshia said. “That day was really tough because that’s actually the day that the news broke to everyone. So it was just very heavy. But I had a job to do at the same time. I’m really happy I was able to be surrounded by all of you guys and be supported by that. But it doesn’t make any of that easier.”
She continued, “I really said what I had to say on that stage. I don’t really have anything else to add because I’m still going through it all. And yeah, I spoke my peace. One day, when I feel like I have more to say, I’m sure we can talk about it all.”
