Jeff Kravitz/Getty ImagesPrecedent continues to frown on recently engaged Bachelor couple Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi.
Season seven's Charlie O'Connell and his winner, Sarah Brice, have called it quits for a second time.
The pair first got together on the show in 2005, when O'Connell offered Brice the final rose but no ring. They split in 2007 but reunited sometime last year.
In December, he even confessed that they were heading toward a trip down the aisle.
"We're getting along and moving forward, so down the line, yes, there's a strong possibility we will get married," he told E! News.
Alas, that was not to be.
"Sarah and I actually just broke up," the 35-year-old brother of actor Jerry O'Connell told People on Tuesday. "I think it was a mutual breakup. The thing is that we dated for five years…and [were] just arguing over the same things and stuff like that. And then eventually, you've got to go your separate ways."
But he still has plenty of respect for the 29-year-old stunner.
"She's a great girl," he says. "I'm sure she'll do great."
