Bachelor in Paradise's Jess and Spencer Split: What Really Happened?

Bachelor in Paradise alums Jess Edwards and Spencer Conley are going their separate years after nearly two years of dating and a brief engagement.

“After a lot of honest conversations and reflection, we’ve made the difficult decision to end our engagement and go our separate ways,” the pair wrote in a joint statement shared via their respective Instagram Stories on Tuesday, September 8. “There wasn’t one moment that brought us here.”

The statement continued, “The past year and a half gave us so many memories and experiences that we’ll always cherish, and while this isn’t the ending we imagined, we’ll always have so much love and respect for each other and for what we shared.”
