Thanks to some social media sleuthing from People Magazine, there appears to be trouble in paradise. On Sunday, Ferrell unfollowed Galavis on Twitter and Instagram and posted this quote on her [Instagram account](http://instagram.com/p/uowU3DLnfw/?modal=true "undefined"): “Isn’t it pathetic how we waste so much time on certain people and in the end they prove that they weren’t even worth a second of it.” Galavis is reportedly going back and forth, following and then unfollowing Ferrell. It wouldn’t be out of character for Galavis to not be able to make up his mind. Bachelor fans were outraged when Galavis [didn’t propose](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20795712,00.html "undefined") at the end of Season 18, but instead said: “I’m not 100 percent sure I want to propose to you. But at the same time I’m 100 percent sure that I don’t want to let you go. I like you a lot. A lot.” He has also refused to say “I love you.” The pair was recently featured on VH1’s [Couples Therapy](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,MediaProductsTax:CouplesTherapy,00.html "undefined"). \[[_People_](http://www.people.com/article/juan-pablo-galavis-nikki-ferrell-split "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3541708/juan-pablo-galavis-nikki-ferrell-bachelor-breakup/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3541708/juan-pablo-galavis-nikki-ferrell-bachelor-breakup/"},"headline":"Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis and Nikki Ferrell May Have Split","datePublished":"2014-10-27T17:57:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:02:05.974Z","description":"The Bachelor has long struggled to say \"I love you\"","url":"https://time.com/3541708/juan-pablo-galavis-nikki-ferrell-bachelor-breakup/","keywords":["celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte6327b71d7f40e70/698762e4cd684808f4097567/juan-pablo-galavis-and-nikki-ferrell.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alexandra Sifferlin","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alexandra-sifferlin/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte6327b71d7f40e70/698762e4cd684808f4097567/juan-pablo-galavis-and-nikki-ferrell.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Juan Pablo Hosts The Pool After Dark At Harrah's Resort","caption":"Juan Pablo Hosts The Pool After Dark At Harrah's Resort","creditText":"Tom Briglia—FilmMagic","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/3541708/juan-pablo-galavis-nikki-ferrell-bachelor-breakup/","name":"Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis and Nikki Ferrell May Have Split"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Best Moments from 17 Seasons of 'The Bachelor' Finales","description":"Best Moments from 17 Seasons of 'The Bachelor' Finales","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/NnE55q18/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-03-07T20:05:26.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/NnE55q18.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3541708/juan-pablo-galavis-nikki-ferrell-bachelor-breakup/","duration":"PT3M49S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3541708/juan-pablo-galavis-nikki-ferrell-bachelor-breakup/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
