In what must surely be a new record for The Bachelorette franchise, Becky Miles and Pete Mann have already broken up.
Following mounting clues that Becky was single, the pair announced their split just a night after we saw Becky leave contestant Adrian Baena heartbroken and give her final rose to 24-year-old café owner Pete, in last night’s series finale aired on Network 10.
Becky shared the sad news on her Instagram page on Friday morning, wishing her brief paramour well.
“Thank you to everyone for coming on this incredible and crazy journey with Elly and I. We came into this experience wanting a fairy tale ending for the two of us, and while I am thrilled that Elly found her person in Frazer, unfortunately things didn’t work out with Pete and I,” she wrote.
“Although I wasn’t lucky enough to find my person this time around, I am grateful for this opportunity and leave with fond memories and no regrets. I wish Pete happiness and all the best in his search for love.”
Pete also shared the same sentiment in his Instagram post, which featured the same image of the two from the finale and the caption in which he wished both Miles’ sisters, and Frazer, well.
“The Bachelorette was such an amazing experience and one I’ll always remember. I came on this show to follow my heart and find love but unfortunately in the end true love was not meant to be,” he wrote.
“Becky is a wonderful woman and I wish her nothing but happiness in life and love. It is truly what she deserves. I also want to take this opportunity to wish @ellymiles and @fneate_3 all the best with their romance. Two great humans who are perfect for one another.”
Although unconfirmed by Becky and Pete, reality TV news site The Wash claimed that an inside source attributed the couple’s split to the neither one of them wanting to move to be with the other.
“Pete doesn’t ever want to leave Adelaide and Becky never wants to leave Newcastle, it’s as simple as that really,” one source told The Wash.
That said, Elly and Frazer seem to still be together three months after filming wrapped, with the pair confirming their coupledom in a video shared to The Bachelorette Australia’s Instagram account on Friday morning.
“We’re really excited for the future now that everything is out in the open,” Becky said, before saying she’s excited to “do real life together” and “get to know each other the experience that we’ve had.”
