Bachelorette’ Star Becca Kufrin & GarrettYrigoyen Split & End Engagement After 2Years Of Dating

Bachelor Nation favorite Becca Kufrin and her fiancéGarrett Yrigoyen, have reportedly split. It comes just two months after Garrett made controversial comments about supporting police amid the Black Lives Matter protests. Although the reported exes have yet to confirm the news, the breakup was reported by E! News on Aug. 6

Garrett’s pro-police comments did affect the relationship, according to the E! News report. “Becca is still very upset with Garett’s comments and the controversy surrounding it,” a source told the outlet, and added, “Their lifestyles don’t mesh anymore. Garrett wants different things and they came to a realization that they aren’t compatible anymore.”

Fans sensed something was up after noticing that Garrett had removed his  “Becca Spills” highlight reel from his Instagram page, which we reported about just hours before the breakup report surfaced. Weeks ago, however, Becca revealed that she thought Garrett’s police comments were  “tone deaf” during the June 9 episode of the  Bachelor Happy Hour podcast with her co-host  Rachel Lindsay. “Garrett is my fiancé and I love him and to his core, I believe that he is a good person. What he posted…I don’t align with and I don’t agree with,” she shared with Rachel, 35 — who was the only Black lead in the franchise’s history, until ABC announced  Matt James would lead  The Bachelor‘s season 25.

She continued, “I don’t think he meant it in a malicious way, I do think it was tone deaf and it was the wrong time and message and sentiment…I’m trying to get him to see the bigger picture.” After posting a black square to his Instagram feed on Black Out Tuesday, Garrett then shared an image of a black square with a blue line running through it, signifying his support for police officers amid ongoing rallies and peaceful protests as part of the Black Lives Matter movement.

However, it wasn’t just the image that drew criticism, it was also Garrett’s accompanying caption. “I’ve listened, learned, helped, supported, and grown. With so many friends and family in law enforcement I couldn’t sit back and not support them and the hundreds of thousands of men and women of all races that represent this Thin Blue Line as well,” he began.

“It’s important for me to recognize the ones who stand in the gap and put their lives on the line each and every single day for humans of different race and ethnicity, including those who hate them. … We can’t judge an entire group of people by the actions of a few. We can’t judge the peaceful protesters by the actions of the few violent protesters, and we sure can’t judge all cops by the actions of a few bad ones.” He also added that cops are “still humans with raw emotion” who “make mistakes.”

Backlash from fans was swift — even fellow Bachelor Nation star Bekah Martinez, 25, criticized his stance. “Law enforcement CHOOSES to put on a blue uniform. Black people don’t choose to be black. Big difference. Also ‘the more brutality they face the more on edge they become’ … that’s scary as f**k. Wow wow wow,” she commented on his pic. “So interesting that you stay silent about black lives but just HAVE to speak out about cops. You’ve made your views known before and here’s a great reminder that not much has changed.”
