'Bachelor In Paradise' Cast News Update: Lace Morris And Grant Kemp Broke Up; Couple Says Decision Is Mutual
Previously engaged "Bachelor in Paradise" stars Lace Morris and Grant Kemp broke up. The news was confirmed by Morris and Kemp themselves in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight.
In the season 3 finale of the popular reality dating show in September, Morris and Kemp got engaged. Previously, the real estate agent appeared on "The Bachelor" season 20 with Ben Higgins, while Kemp appeared on "The Bachelorette" season 12 with Jojo Fletcher.
During the interview, the two stars admitted that the decision to split was mutual.
"It really was mutual. We both have our issues we need to work on, and we can't really give each other what we need at this time. It's just not the right timing. We have so much love for each other, and it's weird because the chemistry is there, and I'm thinking, 'Why can't we make this work? But it's just not possible right now," said Morris.
The couple revealed that they had been bickering for a month and they thought they had to find a way out.
"It was a cycle we couldn't break. I think he's an amazing man. I'm super sad that it ended, but I know it's for the best right now," added Morris.
Morris further revealed that she had already moved out of their home in San Francisco and went back to Denver, Colorado.
Asked about his thoughts on the split, Kemp said, "She's a great person. There were things we were trying to work on that we expected to get better with time, and unfortunately it kind of went the opposite way. When you're in a regular relationship there's already challenges you face. We did everything backwards. I don't regret going on the show though. It kind of fast-forwarded our whole situation. We figured everything out now that it takes most people years to figure out."
Despite the split, the couple said they still hope to find their way back to each other.
