Vanessa Grimaldi, Nick Viall Break Silence on Breakup of the Century
Vanessa Grimaldi has spoke out for the first time since her split from The Bachelor star Nick Viall, and he’s responded in kind … literally.
As in he also spoke out, as she did. With kind words.
“It’s okay to feel broken. It’s okay to cry,” she captioned an Instagram photo of herself overlooking a pond, literally leaning on a friend.
“It’s okay to lean on a friend,” she continued.
“In the end, it will always be okay.”
Deep stuff for hard times there.
Viall, 36, and Grimaldi, 29, broke up Friday, five months after their proposal on ABC, and 3-4 months later than many felt a split would occur.
“It’s with a great amount of heartbreak for the both us as we have decided to end our engagement,” they said in a joint statement.
“We gave this relationship our all and we are saddened that we did not get the fairytale ending we hoped for,” the duo lamented.
“We will continue to be there for each other no matter what. This hasn’t been an easy decision, however, as we part ways,” they said.
“We do so with lots of love and admiration.”
That’s good at least, but it’s 0-4 for Viall, who appeared on two previous seasons of The Bachelorette and Season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise.
This winter was his turn as the man doling out the roses, picking Vanessa Grimaldi over Raven Gates and Rachel Lindsay on The Bachelor.
Even before getting engaged, Viall and Grimladi struggled with conflicting priorities and deciding where they would continue their relationship.
To put it mildly, Nick is more into the whole fame/celebrity aspect of the show than Vanessa, a special ed teacher from Montreal, Quebec.
Following the Nick Viall-Vanessa Grimaldi split, a source close to them said they were never on the same page and doomed from day one.
It wasn’t just that he loves life in L.A. and had no interest in moving to Canada, although that was a factor. The two just weren’t compatible.
“Their friends knew the relationship wouldn’t last,” said the source. “It was a mismatch from the start. She’s super fun, bubbly and outgoing.”
“He’s more of a serious personality.”
Nick, the insider said, “is more introverted. She would try to bring him out of his shell, but he’s just not as comfortable in big groups.”
As for Viall, he’s handling the split “okay,” the source added, noting that “it wasn’t an overnight decision, and they’re amicable.”
“In times that aren’t great, you have to kind of spend time with your loved ones,” Viall told celebrity news magazine Us Weekly.
“I’m lucky enough to have friends outside of L.A. I’m heading back to Chicago this weekend, which I think will be good for me.”
“I’m trying to stay positive, being around friends and family. And you know, what helps me is just kind of believing in yourself.”
“It helps me stay positive.”
“It’s obviously easy to get insecure and feel bad about yourself. You get in your head about things when things aren’t working out for you.”
“I still love her very much. I’m not afraid to say that,” he added on Monday night. “I like to try new things, get out of my comfort zone.”
“I know I have a lot of work to do,” Viall conceded.
“It’s fun to try [new life experiences] though, and I always appreciate the opportunity to try new things and that’s been a lot of fun.”
“I’m always trying to stay busy, especially right now with things,” Nick added, saying that he’s been leaning on “my friends, my family.”
“Vanessa and I are still very much each other’s support system. We’re trying to do that and it’s a challenge at times,” he added.
“We still realize that we’re there for each other.”
They gave it their best, at least. Here’s how Nick and Vanessa rank among Bachelor couples by longevity … the bar was set low:

Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi: Why Did They Split?
The Bachelor stars Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi called off their engagement Friday, five months after he proposed on the hit show.
While the news was heartbreaking, it didn’t exactly come as a surprise to many viewers … or sources who knew the couple best.
News of Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi breaking up was not a shock to one friend of the brunette beauty. In fact, it felt almost overdue.
“Vanessa is extremely close to her family in Montreal, and is very connected to her community and her work there,” the source said.
“Moving to Los Angeles,” where Nick has officially taken up residence, “or elsewhere long term was never really on the table for her.”
“Unfortunately,” laments the source, despite some of his comments, “it seems as though Nick never had any intention of moving to Montreal.”
“Vanessa’s not really into the whole fame thing,” the source adds. “She’s had some fun with it, but that’s not what she’s about.”
“Ultimately, they want different things.”
Raise your hand if you’re surprised.
Anyone? Hello? Not one hand?!
We don’t know Nick personally, so we can’t comment on whether his intentions were pure, but to any viewer, this much was pretty obvious:
He, more than most Bachelor or Bachelorette stars, was enamored with the publicity, fame, spotlight and career opportunities that resulted.
Contrast that with Vanessa, who was at the opposite end of the spectrum, and it’s sort of a small wonder they lasted as long as they did.
Nick went immediately from The Bachelor to Dancing With the Stars, which wouldn’t be the kiss of relationship death in and of itself.
That almost seemed like the goal for him, however, to use The Bachelor as a jump-off point to build his own brand and life in Los Angeles.
Grimaldi, meanwhile, always felt like a fish out of water there and missed Canada, where the source believes she’ll be back in no time.
An additional insider added that “Vanessa is an extremely down-to-earth girl and truly wanted that happily-ever-after with Nick.”
“They both put in a lot of work in the relationship and care a lot for each other,” the source continued, somewhat defending Viall.
“However, time proved that they were better off parting ways in the end. It wasn’t the distance or the limelight [that caused this].”
“They just weren’t the best match for each other.”
Fellow members from Bachelor Nation questioned the couple’s compatibility as Vanessa seemed to keep them all at a distance.
Jasmine Goode and Danielle Lombard, two women who also sought Nick’s roses on The Bachelor, said she went radio silent.
Goode said that was highly unusual for her:
“I think Taylor talks to [Vanessa], I think Danielle [Maltby] does. I’ve seen [Vanessa] here and there. There’s no hard feelings, you know?”
As for whether Goode thought Viall was just acting, she said “sometimes” felt that way, or at least, “I think he was just playing it up, you know?”
Lombard, a.k.a. the Hottest Woman Alive on Bachelor in Paradise, added that she has not heard from Vanessa since the season ended.
“Vanessa and I don’t have a great relationship and I think after things happened with Nick, we just parted ways,” she explained.
“In terms of whether or not I [thought] their relationship would last, I don’t know,” she said, adding that body language might say a lot.
“I think their relationship is very different than other, past Bachelor Nation couples,” she added. “They seem to be a little bit more serious.”
“At least compared to what I’ve seen from Rachel [Lindsay] and Bryan [Abasolo], or Kaitlyn [Bristowe] and Shawn [Booth].”
“Yeah, it seems a lot less playful.”
Many fans were calling this the moment Nick and Vanessa came out on the After the Final Rose special following his season finale.
They seemed … less than happy.
Sometimes we read too much into such appearances, which are both emotional and awkward. Doesn’t look like this was one of those times.

Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi: It"s Over!
After weeks of rumors, it’s now been confirmed that Bachelor stars Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi have broken up.
The split has long been anticipated by fans of the series, but Nick and Vanessa maintained that despite frequent reports to the contrary, all was well within their relationship.
Today, Grimaldi and Viall confirmed that after a whirlwind romance that began in front of millions of viewers, they have decided to call off their engagement.
“It’s with a great amount of heartbreak for the both us as we have decided to end our engagement,” the couple told E! News in a joint statement.
“We gave this relationship our all and we are saddened that we did not get the fairytale ending we hoped for.”
They added that the decision to split was mutual and their mutual affection remains intact:
“We will continue to be there for each other no matter what. This hasn’t been an easy decision, however, as we part ways, we do so with lots of love and admiration for each other,” their statement read.
As recently as last month, Nick and Vanessa reported that they were loving life as a high-profile, co-habiting couple in Los Angeles.
“We’re just not really spending a lot of time apart,” Nick told E! at a charity event on July.
“She’s spending a lot of time out here in L.A. and we’ll keep doing that.”
The couple said at the time that they also made frequent trips to Grimaldi’s hometown of Montreal.
As fans of the series know, Bachelor breakups are nothing new, and couples who hit it off on the ABC series rarely make it to the altar.
But despite the so-called “Bachelor curse,” Nick and Vanessa reportedly never had any doubts that they would be successful in their efforts to make their romance work.
“They don’t hide the fact that this is all very new. But they’re putting in the work,” a source recently said of the couple.
“They want this relationship to succeed.”
Viall popped the question with the help of a $ 100,000 engagement ring on The Bachelor Season 21.
Despite widespread skepticism, both parties maintained that their romance was the real deal.
Unfortunately, fans didn’t need any of those persistent Bachelor spoilers to know this relationship wouldn’t last.
Details of the breakup remain scarce, but insiders say the situation wasn’t helped by Grimaldi’s thirst for fame and reported jealousy over Nick receiving the majority of the spotlight.
Whatever the reason, Nick and Vanessa have now joined the very long list of Bachelor/Bachelorette couples who just couldn’t keep the romance going off camera.
"The Bachelor" Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi Call Off Engagement
‘Bachelor’ stars Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi didn’t even make it to the 6 month mark. They’ve broken off their engagement, but in true Hollywood fashion … they’re doing everything they can to make it seem amicable. They released a joint…

Nick Lachey Posts the Sweetest Anniversary Tribute for Vanessa, Awww!
We’re no strangers to Nick Lachey and Vanessa’s adorable holiday cards, so we’re not really surprised to see that Nick Lachey’s anniversary message to his wife is hopelessly touching.
It’s been six years, you guys!
Doesn’t it seem like, if not just yesterday, not that long ago that Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson were inseparable?
But those two divorced over a decade ago, and you know what? We’re delighted.
Nick and Vanessa found each other soon after that breakup and they are precious together.
Jessica Simpson is still gorgeous and she’s happy and living her best life.
(Seriously, check out her butt right now — we’ll wait)
Nick and Vanessa have three kids together, and Nick’s been investing in legal marijuana and a big proponent for legalizing it in more states.
But Nick is, first and foremost, wildly in love with Vanessa, and he’s reminding the world of it with this photo and its caption.
First of all, that’s clearly a photograph of a photograph — and we think that he snapped this of a wall-mounted picture.
That speaks volumes to how important their relationship is to both of them.
And then there’s Nick’s captions:
“Six years ago today, I took this beautiful woman as my wife and the life we’ve built together is more incredible than anything I could have ever imagined!!”
Beautiful.
“Through all of the laughter, tears, triumphs, and challenges, you are my unconditional rock.”
It’s so important that he talks about the emotional range involved, you know?
Not all of marriage is bliss, but overall, a relationship should make you happy.
“I love you and our family more than you will ever know.”
We think that she has some idea.
“Thanks for your patience, support, and love. Thanks for being you.”
He even used the serial comma (also called the Oxford comma) — what a champ!
He ended it with the simplified message — and, of course, with an obligatory hashtag.
“Happy Anniversary!! #soulmate.”
Gotta have those hashtags.
Remember that while they’ve been married for six years, they started dating something like eleven years ago.
And despite one or two “hiccups” in their relationship during the dating phase, these two have been a consistent item.
A decade is a long time to get to know someone.
Half a decade is a good amount of time to wait while dating before getting married.
(Not just a few months, as the Duggars like to rush weddings because they do everything wrong)
But that’s just a general guideline.
Different people and different couples might click way faster — or might take years longer before they get that kind of certainty.
But Nick and Vanessa got to really get to know each other, before and after their wedding.
Nick and Jessica were followed everywhere by cameras to film their show, and doing that so early on proved to be disastrous.
(Kind of like what happened with Lauren Bushnell and Ben Higgins, to be honest — history loves to repeat itself)
There were a lot of factors behind Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson’s breakup.
(A breakup that, at the time, was a huge deal)
They were both young and they were just different people.
Being constantly on camera so early in their relationship cannot have helped.
But the real lesson here is that when you find the person who’s perfect for you, your relationship can be truly and wildly successful.
Just don’t rush things or marry too young, basically.
Real love usually comes with real maturity.
