Kylee Russell is leaning on her loved ones and fans amid her split from Aven Jones.
The Bachelor in Paradise star shared a heartfelt message to followers more than a week after announcing the breakup.
"Feeling extra thankful for this past week spent with my family," Kylee wrote on her Instagram Stories Dec. 20, alongside a photo of a beach. "I wanted to thank each of you for your kind messages. The overwhelming love and thoughtfulness means the world to me."
On the Dec. 7 season nine finale of Bachelor in Paradise, Kylee and Aven were shown leaving Mexico as a couple—without getting engaged. However, just two days later, the 27-year-old announced on Instagram that the pair had split.
"Following our relationship announcement yesterday, I want to thank my God he did not allow me to live another day in the dark," the Bachelor season 27 alum in a statement posted to Instagram. "In the last 24 hours I have been grasping with the fact that one of the most important relationships in my life has dissolved due to multiple infidelities."
The following day, Aven shared his own note apologizing to Kylie and their fans.
"After careful thought and consideration into writing this I want to first and foremost apologize to Kylee, my family and my friends for my actions," the Bachelorette season 19 alum wrote Dec. 10 on his Instagram Stories. "I have made major mistakes in the relationship and hurt someone who was very close to me."
Aven continued, "At this time, I am in an extremely extremely low place trying to work on myself. I am doing my best to find healing, find myself and be a better person. Please have grace and respect for Kylee and her family through this difficult time."
