The Bachelor runner up – and fan favourite turned villain – Bella Varelis has responded to speculation that she’s broken up with her boyfriend of two years Will Stokoe.
“Was hoping to keep this private, but due to the public nature of our relationship and the constant questions I’m receiving, I feel as though it’s best to answer this once and for all,” Bella wrote.
Bella, who competed on Locky Gilbert’s season of The Bachelor continued, “Will and I decided to take some time apart and go our separate ways to focus on ourselves,” she continued. “We have so much love and respect for each other, but this is just what’s best for both of us for now.”
