The Bachelorette's Michelle Young and Nayte Olukoya Break Up 6 Months After Finale Airs
Nayte echoed her sentiment in a post of his own on June 17.
"When we both started this journey, we were looking for our Soulmates. Our forever. Our best friends," he recalled. "However, as we grow and learn, we also realize that sometimes somebody that you hold dear to your heart isn't somebody that you're meant to spend the rest of your life with." He said the split is weighing on him emotionally, writing, "Hearts are heavy, emotions are high, and we are dealing with this the best way we can... We genuinely fell in love, and we genuinely became each other's best friends. Michelle and I will always cheer each other on, but moving forward, we will be cheering from a distance."
In the midst of his "heartbreak," the reality star asked fans for privacy during the "difficult" time: "We're human beings going through a break up."
