After months of rumors and speculation, Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth announce they are ending their engagement after three years together, citing their careers and schedules, as Shawn recently opened his own gym, Boothcamp.
"It's been a really hard few months now," the reality star admitted on her Off the Vine podcast. "I really did think we'd get through it."
Bristowe said she and Booth realized "there were some important fundamental values that weren't lining up," as well as "some things we'd probably never see eye-to-eye on."
Fans, of course, were devastated over the end of Boothstowe, and their Snapchat alter-egos, Rick and Donna.
"I just want to thank everyone who has been so supportive of my relationship with Kaitlyn over the years," Shawn wrote on Instagram after the split. "You've made me feel incredibly special, supported, and very loved. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you. It truly means a lot. And thank you to everyone who has sent their love & support during this painful time.
