The former stars of ‘The Bachelorette’, who got engaged in the Season 17 finale, announced their breakup on Monday, Oct. 25, posting similar statements to Instagram about how they were “not compatible as life partners.” 

‘It is with mutual love and respect that we have decided to go our separate ways,’ the statement began. ‘We are so grateful for the moments we shared together and the entire journey that has unfolded this year, but we ultimately have concluded that we are not compatible as life partners, and it is the most caring choice for both of us to move forward independently.’ The split came amidst a long-distance romance, with Blake living in Canada and Katie based in San Diego and Seattle.
