It’s over. The Bachelor’s Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell have split, the former couple confirmed in a statement to People on Monday, May 15.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce our decision to go our separate ways,” their statement reads. “We feel fortunate for the time we had together, and will remain friends with much love and respect for one another. We wish nothing but the best for each other, and ask for your support and understanding at this time.”
