'We understand A lot of you have been asking about our relationship since the show, and we wanted to thank you all for the love and respect as we navigated it in real life off camera. We do understand however, having a public engagement on TV kind of changes that,' she wrote in the caption.

'It's with a heavy heart that we have mutually decided to end our relationship. We think the world of each other, and we were both hoping we could make this work. I'm sorry that this may not be what you want to hear, but it's our truth,' she added.

Clare also said there was no ill will between them.

'Just know there are no negative feelings here, we are simply two people who believed in love, and were open enough to give it a chance,' she wrote.
