  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. Hey, everybody's Bob Ginny here. Welcome to the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Almost Famous Podcast. My lovely counterpart, Trista Sutter Nae Wren
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: was unavailable today, so I'm jumping on for a little
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: bit of breaking news, some sad stuff actually in Bachelor
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Nation today. We're just came out that Grant and Juliana
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: have broken up. Bummer obviously after three months. But you know,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I will say from experience, it can be kind of tough,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: especially when you're all over the place, which I mean
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I really didn't follow the two of them so much
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: right after the show had aired, but for whatever reason,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I recently noticed Grant was like in Shanghai, and then
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: another day he's in you know, here and there, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: he is kind of all over the map, and a
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: lot of it was by himself.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: And let's be honest, it's tough in a conventional.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Normal relationship when the two people never see each other, right,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: It's difficult when that happens. And I think that that
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: might be what's at play here. So at any rate,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: statements just came out, I'll read them for you. Grant statement,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: This is one of the hardest things I've ever had
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to write, but I want to share it Honestly, Julianne
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and I have decided to end our relationship. We both
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: gave this our best and poured a lot of love
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: into each other, but after a lot of deep conversations,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: we've come to the understanding that we're simply not the right.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Fit long term. What we have is meaningful.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: The connection we built on the show was real, and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: so is the effort that we've made to continue once
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the cameras stopped rolling. There's no negativity here and no resentment,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: just two people who care about each other and want
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the best for one another. Moving forward, I'll always be
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: grateful for what we shared and for the growth that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: came with it. Thank you to everyone who supported us
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and believed in our journey. This chapter is closing, but
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: we're both walking away with love and respect in our hearts.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: So that was Grant's statement regarding their breakup.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: So you know, here's the thing.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Relationships are interesting, obviously, Relationships on the back, Butler are
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: an enigma wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in mystery. I mean,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it's you know, you never know at least one of
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: these things are going to work out?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Which one aren't.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people felt like at the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: end of this show that Grant made the wrong choice
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: for him and his future. I didn't, actually, I thought
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: this was actually an interesting choice.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: But I thought it could it could have been just
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: the right mix to make it work. But you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: what do I know? Guys? You know, I don't know anything,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: But I feel like, you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Know, what he's saying here is that you know, they've
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: they've decided to end their relationship now. It is kind
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of interesting because it's on the heels of a recent
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: interview where they were talking about moving in together, and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: so it begs a question, did something recently happen that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: sort of triggered this, or was the idea of actually
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: moving in together kind of did that create some cold
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: feet and maybe make people start looking in the mirror
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit more and wondering where things were going?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Who knows, you know, no one ever knows what goes
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: on behind closed doors with any couple, whether they're from
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a television show or whether they're from a tender, or
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: whether they're from a local bar. Right, it's all the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: same kind of thing. Emotions are evolved, hearts are involved.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I do love that the no negativity and no resentment
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: part is in there because I think that it's a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: good thing. And time will tell, you know, if that's true,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: which I think is something that we'll find. Probably is
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: because these two did seem to have I thought kind
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of a nice relationship. Now. Juliana also put out a statement,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and it's interesting that it wasn't a joint statement because
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of times in these breakups, you know, when
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: they're really seemingly, you know, kind of a mutual thing,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: they can often be a joint statement, but this one
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: was not.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: It says, it's a gift to find someone who sees the.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: World in a way that resonates with you and while
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: also encouraging you to grow. I've been grateful to share
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that experience with Grant. That's very nice. Opening marriage is
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a commitment. It's one we both still believe in deeply.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: After a lot of honest conversations and reflection, we've come
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to the decision that this chapter of our lives is
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: meant to continue on separate paths.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: We shared something.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Meaningful, navigating a unique journey side by side, learning, growing,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and showing up for each other the best we knew
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: how and while this isn't the ending we once imagined,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it's one filled with mutual respect, care and hope for
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: what's ahead.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: We're still cheering each other on, just from different places. Now.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I'm beyond thankful for all the love and support you
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: all have given us.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Please be kind.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: That's a really nice she That was really nice. I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: like Juliana's statement very much here again. You know, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: think we're seeing two people who you know, you never
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: know who initiated the breakup, you never know where it started,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: where it ended. Lord knows, I've been through a few myself,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes it really is what it seems
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that two people just haven't you know, two people just
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: realize that they're not right to go on that next
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: step in their journey together. Marriage is a big one, man,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and I'm glad they made this decision before they before
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: they jumped into something and then, you know, God forbid,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: brought kids into the world and everything else, and then
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: realize as they were on the wrong path. So hey,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you know, you got to you got to find the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: positive on things. And I think, you know, from a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: glass half full perspective, which I like to look at
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: life as much as I can. Good for them, right,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, they had
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: this magical moment on this really cool show that got
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: them to do some really cool stuff. And you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and and I think one of the hardest things about
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the show today, which wasn't around obviously when when I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: was filming either trist the season of The Bachelorette or
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: my own season of The Bachelor, was everyone's opinions now resonate, right,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: So you've got social media that literally more people watch
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the show on social media now than watching on actual television,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and more people chime in from that perspective as well.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And everybody's got an opinion, and it's usually jaded. It's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: usually coming from somewhere that you know, has a tinge
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: of something that's like, you know, a little dagger. People
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: like to take their shots, and that can take a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: toll on a person. And I'm sure on a relationship too,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: So who knows, who knows what was going on here,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: But I will say I like that both of them
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: made statements that were very respectful and kind to one another.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I think that's a big, big, big thing and shows
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: their maturity as individuals too.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: So let's dig in a little deeper here.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: You know, in grant statement, he chose a photo to
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: post where they're both It's from People Magazines, the photoshoot
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of their engagement.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: You know, they're looking super happy. They're both looking right
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: at the camera.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Juliana's got her hand in the air showing that that
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: rock of an engagement.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Neil Lane engagement ring that will be returned to producers,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I'm sure very soon.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Juliana, on the other hand, chose a picture where she
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: looks very elegant and the back of Grant's head looks nice.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: So not sure what that means, right, Not sure if
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: maybe she just couldn't, you know, stand the idea of
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: putting his face on a picture with her at that moment,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: because I'm sure you know. Here's the thing, here's the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: thing I do know about breakups, of which I've been
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: through many.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: You know, even when you want them, you're still sad.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Right, So, even when you know it's the right thing
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to do, whether it's a dating relationship breaking up or
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a marital relationship splitting up, or whatever it might be,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it still sucks.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: There's no two ways around it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So I think from that perspective, you know, maybe we're
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: seeing a little bit of that from her as well.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Right, So.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Would you would you would anyone else out there think
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that maybe this seems like Grant initiated this, because I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: would think from the pictures that maybe that's what that means. Now.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I am not a photo analysis person for US Weekly
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: or People Magazine, but I am a photo taker on
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: my cell phone, and I can tell you from my
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: expert opinion and my expert analysis, that's what I'm doing.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: That's where I'm coming from. I think, I think that's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: what happened here. But and it is hard. I will
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: say this, it is hard to kind of remove yourself.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I've noticed that over the years of watching this show
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: because I was so so long.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Ago that I've forgotten what it was like for myself.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: But having you know, watched the season year over year,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it's seems like it's harder for the people who are
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the the leads of the show, who are kind of
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: put out there on the promotional schedules to maybe, you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: realize that, you know, in order to make this work,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the relationship work, you got to kind of take yourself
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: out of that channel, right, I mean it's it's long
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: been the why the bachelorettes are more successful than the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: bachelor's right, the bachelorette couple are more successful than the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: bachelor couples. And maybe that's why the Bachelor in Paradise
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: couples are successful too, because they're not as in demand.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I guess maybe from that perspective after their seasons are over.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: But the bachelorette couples tristas a primary example. My co
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: ho is Trista.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: You know, she took herself off the whole thing, right,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and she.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Focused on her and Ryan, and she and Ryan were
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: like focused on each other, and they took that time
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that they needed, I think, to kind of solidify or
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: cement that relationship. Becau. Let's be honest, guys. I mean
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: these shows are fast, right. You meet thirty people on
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: night one. I mean back when we did it on
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the Ogs, four weeks later, you're supposed to be dropping
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to a knee and popping a box, right. I think that,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: you know, from that perspective, now it's a longer season.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I think now it's like seven or eight weeks that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they actually filmed because they travel so much more. But
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like now it's got to be or that,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like it was even more difficult, which is
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: why the season takes a little bit longer now. But
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: now it's more difficult, I think, because you know, you've
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: got a lot of people out there that are kind
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of working the circuit, you know, popping up their hair
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: gummies and the tooth whitening kits, and then at the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: end of the day, they're also you know, trying to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: solidify a relationship. My lovely co host Trista suttern nay
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Ren told us that she is sad by this breaking news.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: And and you know, I am too. I Mean, I
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: don't know these people.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know them a all, but I do feel
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a weird kind of connection to them, having been on
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor at first and then the Bachelor, and it
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: is kind of weird that we all feel like we
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: have this strange connection with each other, and we all
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: meet and you know, when we ever we do meet up,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: it's almost like we know each other. But I'm sad
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: by this too, because I know that no relationship, especially
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: one that's public, do you want to feel like you
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: got off the train early, right? I mean, you never
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: want to feel like you're that person who went through
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: all this stuff and then at the end failed, and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that is how it feels. I will say that I'm
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: sure that both of them are experiencing a little bit
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: of embarrassment, which I know probably isn't a popular thing
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: to say, but I know having been divorced. My ex
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: wife was an actress, and when we got divorced and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: it was all over people and magazine at the time
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: there were actually magazines and US Weekly and all that
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, I was as embarrassed as I was hurt,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: right because I didn't want to fail.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I wanted to succeed.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I wanted everyone to think that we're the ones and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: we got it right, you know, and because that's what
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I thought when we got married, and and you know, so,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I think that there's a part of that that probably
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: is you know, is a part of these statements too.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: As they're protecting each other, they're protecting themselves. They realize
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: there's going to be backlash.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: They realized that people that were you know, is it real?
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Is it fake? You know, now they're gonna be like,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I told you it was fake, and it's like, no,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: it wasn't fake.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: We were really feeling each other now for three months
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and three months. I mean, hey man, you know, in
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Hollywood standards, that's a that's a you know, ten year anniversary.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I'm kidding. I don't mean to laugh, but you know, anyway,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: let's let's look at this.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: So not too long previous, Grant had said that he
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and Juliana were taking their engagement day by day.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Now that I will tell you as a telltale.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Right. So, one thing I've learned from watching these shows
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: over the years and and seeing, you know, a few
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: months later as people come through, and if they still
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: haven't set a date, or maybe they still haven't you know,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: arrived at something.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I mean three months, I think that's probably a little premature,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: you know. I think everybody's taking it day by day.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: At that point, they hadn't even moved in together, right,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: So I think I think from that perspective, maybe that's
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: not as much of a telltale as as it would
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: have been six months down the road.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Right, six months, nine months, a year, we still don't
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: have a date. We're taking it day by day. That's
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: huge red flag.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: A couple however, that I think was awesome and kind
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: of dispelled this whole thing was Jojo and and her guy,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the guy she married, Jordan, thank you, a couple that
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I think kind of dispelled that that myth was Jojo
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and Jordan.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Right, a lot of things came up.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: COVID came up while they were in the midst of
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: their planning of their wedding, and so they postponed.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: It and everyone's like, oh, oh, here we go, here's
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: another one.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Right, super long engagement, and now they're happily married and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: seemingly super happy. And you know, guys, that's another thing too.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: A lot of this stuff with social media, you forget
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: we only see the highlights, right, I mean the people
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: that are actually throwing the bad stuff up there, well,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: we don't really follow them that long either, right. We
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: kind of are like, Man, I'm not going on Instagram
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: to get sad today, although I do love a lot
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of those posts about dogs and stuff.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: But dogs and kids always get me.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: But when it comes to like, you know, the people
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: that are are part of the show or part of
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the you know, the zeitgeist of what the Bachelor has created,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's the highlights. We aren't seeing what's going
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: on day to day. So it doesn't mean they're misleading us.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: It just means that they're posting the good days, right,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and they're not necessarily posting the days.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: That aren't so great.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So but anyway, Graham had mentioned a few weeks before
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the split that they were taking their relationship day by
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: day and that they you know, they have a lot
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: of love and support between their family and friends, and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: he was supposed to be moving to Boston and they
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: were going to move in.
• 13:48

• 15:28
  Speaker 1: you meant to spend the rest of your life with.

  Speaker 1: spend the rest of my life with and start a

  Speaker 1: family with.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: That's always rough when it works.

  Speaker 1: Out that way, you know, that's it's tough. Gabby and

  Speaker 1: Eric from The Bachelor at season nineteen. She was the
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars contestant. She didn't quick step around
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the issue. I love that she said. I just get
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I went through.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: A breakup and it's been tough.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: The end of our relationship happened because we weren't completely
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: in step and then sync with each other in our
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: common goals of how we approached life.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Now, you know, I'll say this too.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Obviously, there's a lot more breakups than successes in the
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: world of The Bachelor and the Bachelorette, right Hence the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: way that we go about this show, like when the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: ones do work out, we're stoked. I mean, it's exciting.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: We're all super fired up, but you know, the relationships
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: actually are probably longer than what we realize.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: And I'll say it for this.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Back in the day on my season, you know, I
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: didn't propose, but a Stella Gardner, who's a lovely person
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and still a friend of mine to this day, I
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: gave her a promise ring.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: We started dating.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Our show the finale taped in July, and we broke
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: up in December, which.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Was what that's that's four months, right, four and a
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: half months.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: But to the viewing public, they thought it was three
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: weeks because our finale happened to air Thanksgiving weekend or
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving week and then we broke up mid December. So,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of times, you know,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: there might be more to the story than we know,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and there's definitely more time invested than we know, because
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: we don't know when the shows discontinue taping or when
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: they wrap taping. So, guys, in summation, it's a sad
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: day in battriination, right, we're dealing with a breakup today.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: But we wish them both the very best moving forward.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: They both seem like really nice people. Again, I don't
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: know them personally, but somehow I feel like I am
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: connected to them in some way, shape or form. So
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I wish them both the very best. I wish everybody
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the best, everyone that broke up on the on the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: show and moved on that we talked about today. Like
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I said, breakups are never easy, right, so we want
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: to wish everyone the best. We especially want to be
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: kind in these moments and let them know that, you know,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the support they've felt this whole time doesn't just go away.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Now they're no longer betrothed to one another, so production
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: team wins again. Though here they get another Neil Lane
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: back in that file cabinet. I'm telling you, I'm beginning
• 19:15
