He thanked fans for their kind words, and hinted he was still struggling after the split.

Following his announcement, Brooke, 26, said she was ‘surprised’ he had decided to publicly share the news without consulting her.

‘Hey beautiful people before my phone blows up. I just want to say right now I’m finding this really quite overwhelming and just as surprising to me as you guys,’ Brooke said.

‘I just woke up to the news. It was definitely agreed to part ways. I just wanted to do it privately, amicably and respectfully.

‘This is not how and what I expected to be doing right now so as you can imagine, this is all a lot.’

She added: You will all have your judgements and have your say but there is a lot going on in my world and D’s of course. So I again just ask you be kind, we are human.

‘I really do hope you respect some part of some what “privacy” we do have right now because like I said, this was a surprise to wake up just as much as it was for you guys. For now, tuning out but we will speak soon.’

Brooke chose Darvid during the Bachelorette finale, which aired in November, telling him she was in love with him and presenting him with a ring.

‘From the moment I met you, I felt a lot of feelings. I felt calm, I felt trusting,’ an emotional Brooke began.

‘Look, I don’t know how to say this, but you came in here and you granted me three wishes. And I still have one left.’

She added: ‘Darvid, will you make me the happiest girl? I love you so much.’

After the finale, Darvid revealed they were about to move in together in Melbourne.

He said: ‘I can’t believe I found my person. When I entered this experience, I can honestly say I had no idea what to expect. I’ve come out of this with my life partner and she’s so much more than I could have ever envisioned. 

‘It’s been an absolute roller coaster to get to this point, four months of laughter, tears and endless FaceTimes.

‘This is the beginning of a new chapter for both of us and I cant wait to move into our Melbourne abode.’
