Some things just aren’t meant to be.
The original “Bachelorette Canada” couple announced their break-up on social media over Easter long weekend. Jasmine Lorimer informed her followers on Instagram that she had parted ways from fiance Kevin Wendt. “There’s no denying that Kevin and I have experienced our share of ups and downs,” the post read.
“Our journey together has been a challenging one, but in spite of the hardships, our bond grew stronger and our support for one another did as well,” she continued. “Even so, our differences and the physical distance have taken a toll on us and a couple of months ago, we decided to end our relationship and take some time to work on ourselves individually.”

Lorimer insisted “there are no hard feelings between the two of us.”
Kevin W. also addressed the news on Good Friday. “I’m sad to share, at this point in our lives we have decided that it is best we go our separate ways. The situation in which we met and fell in love is a very real one. With it comes a mental and emotional test from day one. We gained strength together and a bond we will share forever.”
The split seems amicable, with both Canadian reality stars sharing positive thoughts of one another. “Kevin is a fantastic person with a huge heart and holds so many incredible qualities,” Lorimer wrote.Β “Impossible to put into words the love and respect I have for this woman,” said Wendt of his ex-fiancee.
