The brunette said that she was ‘hoping to keep [the split] private’, but had no choice other than to address it publicly due to her celebrity status and the ‘constant questions’ from fans.
‘I feel like it’s best to answer this once so the prying will stop because it’s really affecting me by being asked about this daily,’ she said.
‘Will and I decided to take some time apart and go our separate ways to focus on ourselves,’ she continued.
‘We have so much love and respect for each other but this is just what’s best for both of us now.
‘I love you guys and am so grateful for the love and support you’ve given us over the last two years.’

Bella then said she was going through a ‘tough time’ with the breakup.
‘Personally, I’m not coping well, so if you could please respect our privacy and give us some space during this time it would be much appreciated.’
The shock split comes just days after Bella announced that she’d spend almost $13,000 on a nose job.

The Bachelor runner-up admitted she had been ‘lying’ to her fans for ten days and using old photos on social media to conceal her surgery.
‘Don’t be mad at me, but I’ve been lying to you for the last ten days. Everything you saw on my social media was fake,’ she said in a video posted to YouTube.
She explained that she could not yet reveal the final result as her nose was very swollen and expected it would go down by a third.

‘I didn’t actually get a full nose job. I only got a mini nose job. I got a tip-plasty, that was only a tip reconstruction,’ she explained.
‘I didn’t break my nose, which is what happens when you get a full rhinoplasty. You can do a little shave, which I did as well, but I did not break my nose,’ she continued.
She added: ‘I also did my eye. I had one eye where my eyelid was sitting a little bit lower than the other, and he was like, “Oh my god I can fix that for you.”‘
