"It’s with a great amount of heartbreak for the both us as we have decided to end our engagement," the former couple told Us in a joint statement at the time. "We gave this relationship our all and we are saddened that we did not get the fairy-tale ending we hoped for. We will continue to be there for each other no matter what.

They didn’t air this," she said during an episode of the podcast "Let’s Talk About It With Taylor Nolan" in October 2019. "I had a conversation with [Nick], and I said, 'Listen, wouldn't it be better if we just date outside of the show and then get engaged? 'Cause that'd be more meaningful. We'd get to know each other.'" Viall later addressed his former fiancée's comments, telling Kaitlyn Bristowe that he was "fine" with Grimaldi's explanation and trying "to be level-headed."
