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.
