The Bachelorette’s Brooke Blurton steps out for first time since shock split with Darvid Garayeli

The Bachelorette’s Brooke Blurton and Darvid Garayeli took fans by surprise when it was revealed they split on Sunday.

And on Monday, Brooke, 27, decided to sweat out her heartbreak as she pounded the pavement with her beloved pooch Cobar. 

The brunette beauty put on a brave face as she caught some rays while walking with a female friend in Melbourne.

Brooke displayed her toned figure wearing a black crop top which she teamed up with black leggings and grey sneakers.

She attempted to go incognito wearing half-moon sunglasses and a black Balenciaga hat.

Brooke appeared to show mixed emotions during the outing, looking cheerful for the most part, but looking pensive at other times.

The pair were seen walking around Brooke’s neighbourhood before heading to a nearby café. 

Darvid, the winner of the show shared a post to Instagram on Sunday, revealing the couple had parted ways, just one month after the series ended.

‘Starting off the New Year with an end to a chapter and hopefully the beginning of another,’ Darvid began his post.

‘Unfortunately Brooke and I have parted ways. Whilst we both genuinely thought we were each others person, things change and that’s okay.’

He continued: ‘Please respect our privacy and that at the end of the day we are both just people with real feelings.’

‘Thank you so much for being considerate, a lot of lessons learned,’ he ended. 

Following Darvid’s announcement, Brooke shared a post to Instagram, admitting she was ‘surprised’ he had shared the news with fans. 

‘Hey beautiful people before my phone blows up. I just want to say right now I’m finding this really quite overwhelming and just as surprising to me as you guys.’

‘I just woke up to the news. It was definitely agreed to part ways. I just wanted to do it privately, amicably and respectfully.’

She continued: ‘This is not how and what I expected to be doing right now so as you can imagine, this is all a lot.

‘You will all have your judgements and have your say but there is a lot going on in my world and D’s of course. So I again just ask you be kind, we are human.’

‘I really do hope you respect some part of some what ‘privacy’ we do have right now because like I said, this was a surprise to wake up to just as much as it was for you guys. For now, tuning out but we will speak soon.’

The news comes after Brooke and Darvid were spotted looking tense as they took a morning walk with their dog Cobar in Melbourne last month.

Brooke chose Darvid during the Bachelorette finale, which aired in November, telling him she was in love with him and presenting him with a ring.

‘From the moment I met you, I felt a lot of feelings. I felt calm, I felt trusting,’ an emotional Brooke began.

‘I felt an instant chemistry and connection that I never, ever felt with anyone before.

‘Look, I don’t know how to say this, but you came in here and you granted me three wishes. And I still have one left.’

Sobbing, she added: ‘Darvid, will you make me the happiest girl… I love you so much.’

After the finale aired, Darvid revealed to fans that they were about to move in together in Melbourne.

He said on Instagram: ‘I can’t believe I found my person. When I entered this experience, I can honestly say I had no idea what to expect. I’ve come out of this with my life partner and she’s so much more than I could have ever envisioned. 

‘It’s been an absolute roller coaster to get to this point, four months of laughter, tears and endless FaceTimes.

‘This is the beginning of a new chapter for both of us and I cant wait to move into our Melbourne abode.’
