Their half-year engagement was spent living together in Los Angeles after a whirlwind start to their romance on the hit ABC reality show. Viall competed on "Dancing With the Stars" shortly after his season wrapped, and Grimaldi supported him multiple times in the live studio audience.

"We will continue to be there for each other no matter what," their statement continued. "This hasn't been an easy decision, however, as we part ways, we do so with lots of love and admiration for each other."

Their split comes a few months after the previous "Bachelor" Ben Higgins announced his breakup with Lauren Bushnell, who already has a new boyfriend.
