Bachelor in Paradise stars Demi Burnett, Kristian Haggerty break up
In a new post on Instagram today, the sad news was confirmed by both Burnett and Haggerty. They each issued the same statement, saying that this is best time to “take a step back” from the relationship that began before this past season of the show even began. When Demi and Kristian first kicked off their relationship, it made Bachelor Nation history as the first same-sex couple to be properly featured on the franchise. They were a selling point for much of this past season, and there were a number of people out there rooting for the two of them to get together.
