Another one bites the dust…
Bachelor In Paradise’s last remaining couple have called it quits after eight months of dating.
Jake Ellis and Megan Marx took to Instagram to reveal the split, saying that their break up has been “destroying” and they were “devastated”.
“Our first kiss and first date was on a reality TV show – something I’ll always treasure as a beautiful experience and as beautiful memories,” Megan wrote. “I’d be lying if I said this break up has been anything but destroying.”
Jake uploaded a post of own, saying they have decided to take a break from their relationship and that “words will never express the heartbreak”.
“I wish with all my heart that this wasn’t happening,” he wrote.
Wait a second! Was Megan the one who initiated the split?
“The only thing I can hope for is that one day soon we will rekindle our special love and come back together stronger than ever before,” he added.
WOAH!
As heartbreaking as it is, we all knew the relationship was on the rocks. Over the past few months, both parties have written some lengthy posts about their issues.
Earlier this month, Jake said: “Relationships aren’t always perfect, not always the fairytale that you put out to the world.”
“It takes work sometimes, to learn about each other & face those tough relationship obstacles together. That’s what is real. In being honest, this is something that we have faced recently, not certain on how we would come out the other end.”
Megan also shared a post of her own, writing: “If I can be so bold – we’ve had a rough couple of months. We weren’t sure if we’d even last.”
While Jake and Megan have made the split official, is it possible that they’ll get back together in the near future? We’re sure Jake hopes so (… and so do we).
