Whitney Bischoff and Chris Soules at ABC's Good Morning America in New York City on March 10, 2015.RW/MediaPunch/IPx by [Amanda Michelle Steiner/People](/author/people/) ## Amanda Michelle Steiner/People Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close May 28, 2015 7:17 PM CUT Nearly seven months after getting engaged in his barn in Arlington, Iowa, [Chris Soules](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:ChrisSoules,00.html "undefined") and [Whitney Bischoff](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:WhitneyBischoff,00.html "undefined") have split. The [_Bachelor_](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,MediaProductsTax:TVTheBachelor,00.html "undefined") couple “have mutually and amicably decided to end their engagement,” reads a joint statement released to PEOPLE. “They part with nothing but respect and admiration for one another and will continue to be supportive friends. “They wish to think everyone who has supported them through this journey.” Bachelor Nation watched Soules, 33, get down on one knee in March, telling Bischoff, “It’s not work for us. It’s natural. We both want the same thing, and it feels so right. It feels so perfect. And that’s what I want for the rest of my life. I love you.” Bischoff’s willingness to move to Soules’ tiny hometown was met with incredulity by _Bachelor_ fans, but she maintained that she was ready to settle down and start a family with her fiancé. For his part, Soules was excited to begin his life with Bischoff in earnest following his run on _Dancing With the Stars_, though he admitted they had yet to move in together. “Eventually she will be moving to Arlington and we’ll be beginning our life there,” [he told PEOPLE](http://www.people.com/article/chris-soules-dwts-whitney-bischoff-bachelor-ready-begin-life-together "undefined") earlier this month. _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/bachelor-chris-soules-whitney-bischoff-split-break-up "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3900391/bachelor-chris-soules-whitney-bischoff-breakup/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3900391/bachelor-chris-soules-whitney-bischoff-breakup/"},"headline":"The Bachelor's Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff Broke Up","datePublished":"2015-05-28T19:17:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:43:09.229Z","description":"Their engagement is over","url":"https://time.com/3900391/bachelor-chris-soules-whitney-bischoff-breakup/","keywords":["celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt612c4da0953a00a5/6988521ba988ca5dc06b2c48/chris-soules-whitney-bischoff.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Amanda Michelle Steiner/People"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt612c4da0953a00a5/6988521ba988ca5dc06b2c48/chris-soules-whitney-bischoff.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Whitney Bischoff Chris Soules bachelor","caption":"Whitney Bischoff Chris Soules bachelor","creditText":"RW/MediaPunch/IPx","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3900391/bachelor-chris-soules-whitney-bischoff-breakup/","name":"The Bachelor's Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff Broke Up"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Reasons TV's Top Shows Are So Addictive","description":"Here's a look at how our favorite TV shows—from \"Game of Thrones\" to \"Scandal\" and \"Breaking Bad\"—keep us coming back for more.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2RqNgPrk/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-01-16T20:47:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2RqNgPrk.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3900391/bachelor-chris-soules-whitney-bischoff-breakup/","duration":"PT2M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3900391/bachelor-chris-soules-whitney-bischoff-breakup/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
