Tayshia Adams is going into the holiday season single as a dollar bill.
The “Bachelorette” star has ended her engagement to Zac Clark.
A rep for Tayshia confirmed the split telling People, “Tayshia Adams and Zac Clark are no longer a couple.”
Zac competed for the heart of Tayshia Adams on season 16 of “The Bachelorette,” which aired late 2020.
During the finale, Tayshia picked Zac Clark as her final rose recipient and the two got engaged.
Watch the engagement below.
In February, Tayshia told Marie Claire that she and Zac were “dating right now while being engaged.”
At first, Zac was the person to be like, ‘We could get married next week.’ And I was like, ‘Slow your roll.’ I’d love to date a year.
And now I’m like, ‘You want to … maybe next month?’ And he’s like, ‘Tayshia, slow your roll.’ We’re back and forth. But there’s no timeline. It’s definitely going to happen. I just don’t know when.
I’m sure dating someone you’re already engaged to could reveal a lot of things about the person you won’t learn while they are competing for your love on a national TV show.
Then, the couple was struck with break up rumors when Tayshia was spotted without her engagement ring.
At one point, she took to her IG Story writing:
There’s always weird rumors circulating around that I’m not wearing my ring and that Zac and I are broken up. I don’t know what is happening, but you guys, I was holding my phone with my left hand.
But ironically enough, as I was showing my hand maybe a week and a half ago, my ring was literally swinging around my finger, and a lot of you messaged me like, ‘Don’t lose your ring!’ Well, I was in L.A. for a hot minute and was able to finally drop off my ring and get it sized.
In November, the lovebirds ran the TCS New York City Marathon together and everything seemed well in paradise.
After the marathon, Zac took to Instagram to gush over his lady.
The untold story about @tayshia is one of humility and courage. She would never tell the world how truly inspiring her performance was yesterday at the @nycmarathon but I will.
Leading up to Sunday she did dozens of interviews where she could have talked about her chronic knee/back pain or her inability to train due to her insane schedule but instead she talked about her charity of choice, @worldvisionusa, and how grateful she was for all the support from family, friends, fans and strangers.
She is allergic to excuses. She could have bailed at anytime in the past four months, her PR team would have handled it, but that is just not who she is. She said she was going to do something and she did it.
No one will remember her “time” but the fact that she went out and ran (check the hundreds of videos online – there was very little walking) this race in 4 hours and 40 minutes is heroic and shows the power of believing in yourself.
I will be forever grateful to have had a front row seat to her performance yesterday, as will the thousands of others who cheered her along the way (the screams overpowered the Pearl Jam playing in my ears for most of the day).
The world is a better place today then it was yesterday because of you…..KEEP GOING ❤️
