Does this news surprise anyone? Because it definitely doesn’t surprise me. I can’t believe that the couple lasted as long as they did.

Former Bachelor Matt Grant and his bride-to-be Shayne Lamas have gone their separate ways, lasting a whole two months. The two tried hard to convince the public that they were madly in love but the only people they were fooling was themselves.

“We tried hard to make it work but we realized that we were both heading in different directions,” the duo said in a statement. “We truly care about each other and will remain close friends.”

The pair have been trying to fend off rumors that their was trouble in their relationship since Grant chose Lamas over Chelsea Wanstrath in The Bachelor’s season finale, and have been questioned many times as to why the couple never moved in together or were never photographed being in the same places.

“This stuff makes us stronger,” Grant, 27, said last month.

Anyway, that makes 10 out of 11 Bachelors (not including the not-ready-for-a-relationship Brad Womack) who have opted out of the matches they made during their stints on the ABC series.

After 10 weeks of ‘The Bachelor’, Matt Grant, narrowing the field down, he finally made up his mind and proposed to Shayne Lamas.

At the final rose ceremony, Chelsea was the first one out of the limo, which most of the time is not a good sign. Matt told her that she was amazing and this whole experience would not have been the same without her… but that it was not going to work out between them.

Really upset about the rejection, Chelsea lashed out and blurted that “Shayne is the fakest” person on The Bachelor. Of course Matt was not pleased with this. But realized he had more important things to deal with- like getting himself engaged!

When Matt sees Shayne, he tells her that he came on the show to find true love and he found her. Matt than actually got down on one knee (shocker in The Bachelor history) and asked Shayne to marry him. She of course said yes followed by lots of kisses and “I Love You’s”
