‘The Bachelor’: Chris Soules denies Whitney Bischoff split rumors

We know that there are some tabloids out there that would really want you to believe that right now, given all of the time that the two have spent recently apart. Bischoff recently attended the Kentucky Derby without the former “Bachelor” star, and then she was not present Monday night as he performed his latest routines on “Dancing with the Stars.” (He was eliminated from the competition on the show Tuesday.) As it turns out, though, there are of course reasons behind everything. For example, Chris is busy practicing his routines, so that made traveling to other events like the derby difficult. Also, he told Us Weekly that Whitney was off with her family Monday night:

“I miss her … But I think it’s healthy for her to be away — [tonight] she’s with family, it’s actually the anniversary of her mom’s death. She’s my number one fan. So I know she’s there for me and when all of this is over it’ll be nice to just be together.”

Chris also confirmed yet again that he loves his fiancee and the two are still together, despite whatever you may read. This is probably one of the more difficult periods that the two have experienced since first getting together. While doing “Dancing with the Stars” may be rewarding to your brand and a nice financial boost, it also does make it very hard to live anything close to a normal life. There are long hours involved, and you are also displaced in Los Angeles for the majority of the time you are on the show.
