May 28--Say it ain't sow!
Chicago nurse Whitney Bischoff and Iowa farmer Chris Soules, also known as "Prince Farming," have called off their engagement, nearly three months after Soules was shown proposing to Bischoff in the season 19 finale of "The Bachelor," multiple celebrity news sites are reporting.
"Whitney Bischoff and Chris Soules have mutually and amicably decided to end their engagement," the couple said in a statement provided to US Weekly and E! Online. "They part with nothing but respect and admiration for one another and will continue to be supportive friends. They wish to thank everyone who has supported them through this journey."
Mike Fleiss, the creator of "The Bachelor," tweeted on Thursday: "Sad news to report: @souleschris and @whitbisch are no longer engaged..." and "A sad day for us at The Bachelor..."
The couple were reportedly going through problems recently. Bischoff, 29, had been absent from the audience when Soules, 33, performed on "Dancing with the Stars" last month. Soules told Glamour magazine Bischoff was at home in Chicago dealing with "work things."
The couple recently spent time together. On Friday, Soules tweeted he was with Bischoff. On May 7, Bischoff noted their six-month engagement anniversary on Twitter.
