‘Bachelor In Paradise’ Couple Aaron Bryant And Eliza Isichei Break Up

The couple met on season 9 of the reality show and got engaged during its finale episode.

Another "Bachelor In Paradise" couple bites the dust. Season 9 stars Aaron Bryant and Eliza Isichei have gone their separate ways.

On Monday (Dec. 11), Bryant shared the news of their breakup on his Instagram story, as reported by Us Weekly. According to the outlet, they are the third couple from the show's latest season to call it quits.

“I want to thank our family, friends and Bachelor Nation for all their support not just through the Paradise journey but after as well,” Bryant wrote in the caption of his message. “Tricky emotions watching it all unfold but unfortunately me and @elizaisichei’s love story has come to an end. We’re leading our amicable split with nothing but positivity and mutual respect for one another. Thank you all 🖤.”

The duo entered each other's orbit earlier this year on the show and took their relationship up a notch with an engagement during the finale episode on Dec. 7.

Before Bryant popped the big question, he let his sentiments flow.

"From your beautiful skin to your elegant walk, to my favorite smile, I love everything about you Eliza. You’re the most beautiful part of Paradise for me. I know I have these feelings for you because I pay attention to every little thing you do," he said.

“We went through so much. Couples shouldn’t last that, honestly, but we found a way to choose each other and choose faith in one another. I’m so happy right now to be standing here with you and to talk about the future as well.”

He also explained that he talked to her mom before their special moment.

“She is very proud of you, she thinks the most of you. You truly have great parents, and I am just so lucky and grateful to be here,” he said.

Following Bryant and Isichei's engagement, the show updated fans on their relationship status.

“Aaron and Eliza’s engagement has hit some speed bumps since they left the beach,” the message on the screen read. “They are actively working on their relationship and trying to figure things out.”

These exes are the second melanated couple whose flame withered. We also reported that Kylee Russell ended things with Aven Jones due to allegations of infidelity.
