Fans of The Bachelorette have been wondering why Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray called off their engagement. According to HollywoodLife.com, these celebrity exes were more interested in reality TV fame than in each other. Apparently, Murray never even wanted to win The Bachelorette season 10! “During the filming of the show, the producers kept telling Josh that if Andi didn’t pick him, he would be the next Bachelor,” a source said. “So he has been resentful towards Andi because he knows he could have been in the limelight as TheBachelor, so now [that he’s single] he is going to make a play to try to be the next Bachelor. Even though they are telling their friends [their split] was mutual, he ended it.” The source went on to say that there was an attraction between the reality TV stars, but in the end, they were more interested in being famous than being with each other.
Celebrity exes Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray may have put their reality TV fame first, costing them their relationship and love. How can you keep your career goals from getting in the way of your personal life?
The celebrity news that reality TV stars Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray split came as a shock to many. While we still don’t know what caused this celebrity break-up, they have remained very amicable — but that might be changing. At the end of January, Murray tweeted, “Having to change all my passwords because someone keeps logging into my social media accounts SMH.” This left us wondering: Is former Bachelorette Dorfman cyber stalking her celebrity ex? Her response came very quickly — only 9 minutes later according to thestir.cafemom.com. She replied, “Join the club … Got better things to do with my life #blessed.” While we can’t say for certain who these tweets are directed at or what they really mean, we can assume that there’s some tension following this celebrity break-up.

Another one bites the dust! Earlier this week, reality TV couple Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray announced that they have ended their engagement. In a joint statement published by People.com, the pair, who met and fell in love during The Bachelorette season 10, said, “After several months of being engaged and working on our relationship, we have decided that it’s best for both of us to go our separate ways.

In light of this surprising celebrity breakup, how can you handle questions about your sudden split?
Cupid’s Advice:
The trickiness and difficulty of a breakup doesn’t necessarily end as soon as you and your significant other call it quits. After you admit that it’s over, you then have tell your loved ones. So how do you stay diplomatic when your friends want to hear about the drama? Cupid has some tips:
1. Just say “no comment”: Breakups are private and potentially very painful for the parties involved, so there’s nothing wrong with telling a questioner that it’s none of their business. However, it’s usually best to put it as nicely as possible. Thank the person for their concern and then simply say that it’s a private affair and that you’d rather not talk about it.
2. Avoid pointing fingers: In most situations, a split is not the fault of just one person. Take a cue from this celebrity breakup and do your best not to place blame on your ex. After all, listing the faults of your former partner post-breakup isn’t going to make you look any better.
3. Be on the same page: Right after your split, this may seem near impossible, but in the coming months, it will help the situation if you remain amicable. You can avoid drama by making sure your stories match and your facts are true. Have a quick conversation and answer the question, “What are we going to tell people?” This will eliminate a lot of the confusion friends and family may have about what happened and hopefully help dodge any hurt feelings by sharing something too private.

Interview by Lori Bizzoco. Written by Shannon Seibert.
Fans recognize Jesse Kovacs from season five of The Bachelorette, where he fought for Jillian Harris’s heart, and season one of Bachelor Pad, where he caused drama with ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Kitt. Now, he is standing at another rose ceremony, waiting to see if he will get a rose on Bachelor in Paradise tonight. “It’s funny because, during this rose ceremony, I was sick as hell. I don’t think they show it, but I was off in the jungle puking my brains out,” Kovacs tells us in our celebrity interview. “So I wasn’t even concerned about getting a rose.”
Jesse Kovacs Talks About Return to Reality TV for Bachelor in Paradise
Arriving in Tulum, Mexico this week, his first date was with Jackie Parr (Sean Lowe’s season). He knew nothing about the format of the show; he did, however, know that it was worth it if finding relationship and love was a possibility. “It’s all about the experience for me,” he shares. “If you’re open-minded, you can meet someone anywhere. It doesn’t matter if it’s on reality TV or if you’re in the coffee shop, at a bar, or at the post office.”
What wasn’t aired is that Robert Graham pulled him aside and gave him a brief rundown of the situation. “I did know that Marquel and Jackie went on a date but still felt confident that she would want to go on a date,” he confirms. He also says that everyone was super nice and inclusive. “Graham Bunn and I pretty much hung out the entire time,” he adds.
When the winemaker first got to the island, he had three or four days of date after date after date and then a rose ceremony, leaving him with little free time to get to know any of the guys except for his roommates. “I’m talking with the guys in my hut as if I were talking to any of my buddies about a girl I was seeing, totally not realizing that there were microphones in the ceiling,” he reveals. “Certain things were relayed back to the girls — and of course, guy talk isn’t always meant to be shared.”
Teasing his storyline further, he admits that something happens that leads to tension between him and one of the guys. Plus, he gets mixed up in a big misunderstanding that causes him to head home early. “That will all come out later,” he assures us. He says that he looked like the bad guy, although he was telling the truth about what happened.
Despite everything, Kovacs doesn’t have any regrets and speaks highly of his experience. “It is what it is. Realistically, I should’ve known better.” Given he walked into a similar storm between AshLee and Clare, we had to get his opinion on the situation with the ladies. “I definitely feel like AshLee is always concerned about how she will be portrayed,” the reality TV star says. “Her edit or cut was the most important thing to her. I noticed this right away.”
His Recent Relationship and Love Life
He may not have found a relationship and love on Bachelor in Paradise, but we do know is that he had a serious girlfriend since viewers last saw him on Bachelor Pad. “She was in San Diego, and I was living in Los Angeles. We spent every weekend together — we’d go to the beach, and I’d bring a bottle of wine,” he candidly shares. “We moved in together, started a business, and then split up seven months ago.”
Outside of the show, Kovacs tells us that he isn’t looking to settle down again anytime soon. Instead, he’s staying busy with his entrepreneurial endeavors. He recently opened a lounge called Liquid in downtown San Diego, and he’s still managing Kovacs Brothers Wine with his brother. “We have some wine that we’re probably going to release in early September, and then we’re going to be harvesting again,” he says of what’s next.
