Bachelor in Paradise fame Michael Allio and Danielle Maltby, who had found love on the beach have, however, parted ways after being together for a while.
Michael was a guest on Monday's episode of the Trading Secrets podcast. She was originally introduced to the Bachelor series while competing in Katie Thurston's The Bachelorette season, which aired in 2020.
During his visit, he informed host Jason Tartick that the pair had split up.
Michael reveals the reason behind their break-upWhile talking in the interview, Michael stated that it is still quite fresh and is still coping with the breakup. He further added, “It’s still incredibly fresh, I guess I’ll just come out with it: We’re not together anymore. It’s not what we planned. We both threw a lot into this relationship, and it’s really awful when it doesn’t work out.”
He further stated in the podcast, “When you realize that love is there, but you’re not necessarily compatible, you mourn the loss not of just that person and that friend in your life, but also the future that you had envisioned. And it’s to no fault of hers — she poured everything into this. I just have so much admiration.”
