The rollercoaster journey we call 'love' is over for The Bachelor winners Pete Weber and Madison Prewett.
Just a few days after ABC aired the reality show's live finale, Madison announced that the couple had decided to go their separate ways on Instagram yesterday (March 13).

Alongside a picture of her and Peter laughing together, the 23-year-old told her followers: "So incredibly thankful for this amazing journey I've had the honor of being a part of. I have grown so much and am stronger than I was going in. I have learned the importance of acceptance, forgiveness, and grace.
"As Peter and I have decided to go our separate ways, I am confident that we will both move in the direction of our purpose and never forget that God has a plan in all things. I will always love and respect him. I am convinced our paths were meant to cross and we are both better because they did."

"I will always be your biggest fan," she added, "And to the amazing women I met this season, I will love you for life. Thank you @abcnetwork for allowing me to embark on this journey [heart emoji]."
Pete added on his own Instagram: "Madi and I have mutually decided to not pursue our relationship any further. Believe me this was not easy for either of us to be ok with, but after a lot of honest conversations, we have agreed that this is what makes most sense for the two of us. The love and respect I have for Madi will continue to endure."
He also praised her "patience and unconditional love", adding: "You're the epitome of a woman who carries herself with grace, stands by what she believes in, and loves whole heartedly. That love is something I feel so grateful to have felt and will take a piece of that with me always going forward."
The Bachelor aired on ABC in the US.
