Aven Jones and Kylee Russell were among the most interesting couples on season nine of Bachelor in Paradise. Sadly, just days after viewers saw them walk off the beach together, the couple has split.
Kylee Russell Put Aven on Blast on Her Instagram Story Just 24 Hours After Announcing Their Relationship
In an Instagram Story, Kylee Russell wrote, “Following our relationship announcement yesterday, I want to thank my God, he didn’t allow me to live another day in the dark.”
“In the last 24 hours, I have been grasping with the fact that one of the most important relationships in my life dissolved due to multiple infidelities,” she continued.
Aven Jones publicly apologized to Kylee on his own page.
Aven Jones addressed the cryptic breakup announcement on his own Instagram, writing, “After careful thought and consideration into writing this I want to first and foremost apologize to Kylee, my family and my friends for my actions.”
The Sunday morning Instagram Story continued with a candid admission, “I have made major mistakes in the relationship and hurt someone who was very close to me.”
“At this time, I am in an extremely, extremely low place trying to work on myself,” he wrote. “I am doing my best to find healing, find myself and be a better person. Please have grace and respect for Kylee and her family through this difficult time.”
Concerns about the future plagued the couple in paradise.
While Kylee Russell was hoping to walk out of BiP engaged, that wasn’t the case. She lamented Aven’s hesitance to propose during the show’s finale.
“If he has any type of love for me and he knows he sees a future with me, then why not do this for me?” Kylee posed. “I know what I deserve, and I know what I want. I don’t know if I, in this moment, see a future with him if he’s not on the road to desiring what I want.”
She also noted that Aven seemed more willing to try when it came to his time with Rachel Recchia.
“I’m literally telling you, ‘It’s you.’ I’m literally telling that to you. You can’t even have an open mind about that,” she said.
Kylee noted that with Rachel, Aven was, “willing to take the next step,” like “[doing] Fantasy Suites with her.
“You were willing to do those things. You were in that headspace then, but you’re not willing to get into that headspace with me, someone that you said you’re the most happiest with,” she noted.
Kylie concluded, “You have to understand where I’m having doubt.” Ultimately, she agreed to “trust” in Aven and their relationship beyond the show, a decision she now seems to regret.
