Chris Soules Breakup: Split With Whitney Bischoff Will Reportedly Be Announced After ‘The Bachelorette’ Premieres
Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff have reportedly broken up, with the Bachelor couple keeping their split under wraps until the premiere of the upcoming season of The Bachelorette.
The couple, who got engaged on the recently concluded season of the reality dating program, have reportedly run into trouble in the early months of their relationship. With Chris in Los Angeles filming Dancing With The Stars and Whitney returning to Chicago to go back to her job, the two reportedly failed to click and have drifted apart.
Publicly, the two have maintained the appearance of a happy relationship but some cracks are already starting to show. Whitney was nowhere to be seen as Chris concluded his stretch on Dancing With The Stars, and Chris made no public mention of the couple’s six month anniversary.
Now the reason why may be clear. Sources claim that the couple has decided to split, but producers for The Bachelor convinced them to stay together a little longer so it doesn’t ruin the run-up to the next iteration of the show.
A report from Celeb Dirty Laundry claimed:
“It all boils down to Bachelor politics and publicity. Remember this time in January when we all knew that Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray’s relationship was over – but the couple still showed up at the Bachelor premiere and pretended to be in love?”
The rumors of trouble between Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff have been circulating since even before they made their engagement official. In the lead-up to the finale of The Bachelor, reports claimed that the still-secret relationship was already starting to fizzle and claimed infidelity on both Whitney and Chris.
As Celeb Dirty Laundry reported at the time, Chris and Whitney simply failed to click once they got away from The Bachelor:
“As a matter of fact, rumors have already begin making their rounds claiming that Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff have already broken up. What went wrong? More like, what didn’t go wrong? After the Season 19 finale was filmed, Whitney Bischoff reportedly began having reservations about moving to Arlington and giving up her career in Chicago. And, to top it off, Chris Soules got a taste of Bachelor fame and had no intention of settling down and playing house with his fiancée.
Other sources have claimed that the breakup between Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff may never happen. With Chris’s run on Dancing With The Stars over, the couple was reunited this week and spent time together on the Soules family farm.
