The Bachelorette’s Ali Oetjen shares the REAL reason she hasn’t tried to find love since her heartbreaking split from Taite Radley


She’s been single since her heartbreaking split from Bachelorette winner Taite Radley two years ago.

Posting to her Instagram Stories on Saturday, Ali shared the reason behind her choice to ride solo. 

Happily single! The Bachelorette’s Ali Oetjen, 34, (pictured) has shared the REAL reason she hasn’t tried to find love since her heartbreaking split from Taite Radley 

The blonde beauty first shared a question she received from a fan, who asked her how she lives her ‘single life.’

Ali replied to the fan: ‘Ever since The Bachelorette I haven’t looked. ‘Looking’ indicates there’s a need to find a man and when there’s a need it creates resistance to what you need as it infers there’s a ‘lack’ in that area.’  

‘Be the woman you love, life the life you love, and you’ll attract love and a man that will compliment your life,’ she advised.

Ali and Taite, 31, announced their split via Instagram one year and seven months ago, saying they were ‘taking time apart’ and giving each other ‘some space’.  

The couple shared near identical statements underneath selfies together and said they were making the shock announcement with ‘the heaviest heart’.
