As for Kaitlyn, she recently opened up about navigating their split while in the public eye.
“I’m going through a breakup with someone I was engaged to,” she said during the Aug. 8 episode of her Off the Vine podcast. “Now, we both are public figures, we both came from the same show. We have all these followers who we’ve let in, and we’ve invited them into our lives and our relationship and our home and what we’re doing—morning, afternoon, night. It’s become part of, like, business.”
And though she loves to “entertain” her followers on social media, the breakup is a thorny side of her personal life that she struggles to share.
“It’s a loss, it’s grief, you’re going through the thought of losing somebody, all of these big emotions,” she continued, “and now these people are on the other end of this phone expecting you to share it with them.”
As she noted, “I’m holding so much responsibility because I see them as this community that I’ve built for myself. It is affecting my mental health so much.”
Right now, Kaitlyn is just working on finding her footing within her journey.
“Here’s the logic of everything and then here’s the emotion,” she added, “and I am finding myself in the middle of that.”
