Shannon continued: “We were in a great place. But seven days later, when the cameras were down, it was a completely different story. He told me he was done with the relationship. And to hear what he said to me then was absolutely devastating.

“I’ve never loved anyone more in my life,” she continued.

“I was hopeful this was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I wanted it to work out. I’ve never loved anyone like I’ve loved John. But clearly, he didn’t feel the same way.”

Since the breakout was announced, Shannon has kept details of her dating life out of the spotlight, however, she revealed in March 2023 that she was seeing a “very handsome” and “super, super sweet” mystery man, according to BravoTV.

He continued: “It doesn’t make sense to be together if you don’t believe in it.

“The last thing I wanted to do is hurt Shannon, but I do think I did the right thing for the both of us.

“We’re two people who love each other very much, but love is not always enough. And while I know Shannon sees it as I’ve said things to her I never meant, I hope she’ll be able to see that there’s no bad person here. It’s two really good people who couldn’t make it work.”

Shannon also spoke with PEOPLE following the split, revealing that she was “blindsided by the breakup.”

“All I can do is repeat in my head what he said to me while we were filming,” Shannon said.
