Did Garrett YrigoyenAfter his messy split, find The One Becca Kufrin? One year after the Bachelorette season 14 couple’s relationship started to crumble, he’s happy with girlfriend Alex Farrar.
Yrigoyen got engaged to Kufrin during the 2018 finale.The Bachelorette. While they were moving in together in early 2020, things became more complicated when he was criticized for his support for the police in the Black Lives Matter movement.
After an emotional episode of Kufrin’s “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast with Rachel LindsayIn June 2020, Yrigoyen announced that their romance was in the final stages.
“It’s something that we are trying to work through and discuss and do work on at home at this time and that’s where the work will remain and that’s really the best I can give you at this point,” she said at the time.
Kufrin and Yrigoyen were separated in August, shortly after Kufrin moved to a new house.
“Garrett and I have decided to end our engagement. After many discussions, we made this decision. It wasn’t something that we just arrived at one night,” she said in September 2020. “It wasn’t based solely off of one Instagram post or somebody else’s opinions or comments. There’s much more to it. To any relationship, there’s a lot of layers, and it’s not for me to divulge details.”
Six months later, Yrigoyen finally addressed the issue.
“I understand everyone wanting to know what exactly happened because you feel so invested into our lives and relationships. I truly don’t want to be known for the show. It’s not what defines me or my character,” he replied via an Instagram Q&A in March 2021. “I’m only going to answer this question ever as, it just didn’t work out.”
Yrigoyen, who went public with Farrar in October 2020, added that it was a “rough few months” when his relationship with Kufrin was rocky.
“I ended it in my heart and mind,” he wrote. “Once I weighed every outcome, solution, what ifs, talked it out, practicality, etc. It’s completely done for me and no going back. It’s too short to let your life slip away. There’s amazing people out there and if you pour everything into one and it doesn’t work, then it wasn’t meant to be.”
Kufrin, on the other hand, continued to appear in season 7 of Bachelor in ParadiseMet Thomas Jacobs. After more than six months of being together, she proposed to him and announced the engagement in May 2022.
“In the ultimate plot twist … HE SAID YES!” she wrote via Instagram. “I finally found my chauffeur for life and the one who makes my heart smile every single day. I can’t wait to do it all with you Tommy, thanks for making me the happiest gal alive. I love you to the moon & back ♥️.”
