Chris Harrison is commenting on The Bachelor’s Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff calling off their engagement, since he witnessed their romance first-hand throughout the process of the show.
Soules and Bischoff confirmed their split in a joint statement on Thursday, just about two months after their engagement aired on the show’s finale.
“I was really sorry to hear this morning that Chris and Whitney had ended their engagement, obviously from our last show The Bachelor…He went on to do Dancing With the Stars and moved back to Iowa and I thought they had given it a go and were going back together but apparently not,” Harrison told Home & Family co-hosts Mark and Christina.
He went on to say he’s been texting Soules to let him know “I wish them both well and they’re both good friends of mine and if there is anything I can do to help with.”
Harrison also called it “odd” that although it is a television show and “silly” things happen on it, “they are also real people. They’re just two kids that were hopefully going to get married and they’re not now and that’s sad…they’re still two people going through a breakup, so it’s still tough.”
