Last month, just hours after the season finale of The Bachelorette aired on TV, Becky confirmed her split from Pete, whom she’d chosen as her winning suitor on the show.
She announced on Instagram that things ‘didn’t work out’ for her and her man.
Becky then bravely fronted the media, breaking down in tears during back-to-back radio interviews as she revealed she was ‘angry’ at Pete for dumping her via FaceTime after only three days as a couple.
Pete also confirmed their split on Instagram at the time, writing: ‘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 then praised Becky as a ‘wonderful woman’ who deserved to find love and happiness.
