Friends of Abbie Chatfield and Konrad Bien have reportedly revealed that the reality stars were “avoiding each other” for months before their rumoured split.
Over the weekend, it was reported by Daily Mail Australia that Abbie and Konrad had broken up after ten months together and that he is currently romancing fellow The Bachelor alum Megan Marx while filming The Challenge Australia in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Now, So Dramatic! has reported that Abbie and Konrad broke up months ago and that he’d moved out of the house they share before heading off for filming earlier this month.
“They were living apart before Konrad went to film The Challenge,” a source told the publication. “They were avoiding each other like ships in the night, which wasn’t that hard because of how busy Abbie is anyway.” The source added, “they didn’t see each other much anyway”.
In a July interview with Stellar, Abbie told the publication that she only saw Konrad “maybe two days a week” because of her busy work schedule.
While Abbie hasn’t confirmed her split with Konrad, she certainly didn’t deny the breakup, either.
“Hey!!!! I’ve seen the articles about Konrad,” she wrote on her Instagram story.
“He’s out of the country so I won’t be commenting on anything until he’s home. Can everyone not be so dramatic pls and relax. Both of us are totally okay,” she added.
“And can the paparazzi get their daily pic of me picking up dog poo then let me get a coffee in peace also.”
However, an insider told Daily Mail Australia that Konrad had spoken about his and Abbie’s breakup to his co-stars on the set of Channel 10’s upcoming reality TV series, The Challenge.
“Oh, my gosh! The drama is insane. Konrad is sleeping with Megan [Marx],’ one insider revealed.
“Konrad said he was single and his relationship with Abbie was over because she broke up with him.”
The source added, “On the first night of filming he hooked up with Megan. I didn’t know what was happening,” they said.
“It was awkward because he was all over her the second we started filming. It was like he was trying to make Brooke [Blurton] jealous because she was there too.”
