“Court is a bloody good man, every fiber of his being,” wrote Lily, who appeared on Season 3 of The Bachelor New Zealand. “It makes my eyes leak a little bit but myself and Court have decided to split on mutual terms. I love Court with every ounce of my being, that long-limbed f–k will be a part of my life for a very long time.”
She added, “He’s good with his hands, he gets worried if I’m cold, puts together a solid peppermint tea, average joke teller, lives pretty well with a full force of caffeine addiction, doesn’t mind being the little spoon.”
Courtney also addressed their breakup with a sweet message. “Wish I didn’t have to do this… Unfortunately it’s the world we live in, so here it is,” the 31-year-old captioned a video with Lily from Winter Games. “There’s probably not many of you who’ll understand this or even be able to relate, but Lily and I have chosen not to end our relationship but to continue it as mates,” he wrote. “We’re best friends and it’s become clear to both of us that the emotional side of our relationship just doesn’t allow us to be the best versions of ourselves.”
Court continued, “Perhaps in a world where there are no distractions, no life obstacles, nothing else mattered and looking into the future wasn’t even a thought, things might be different… but that’s not reality and we’ve decided that this is for the best.” Anddd, we’re officially sobbing.
“You guys watched us fall in love and it was honestly just as magical as it looked in real life,” Lily concluded. “I never thought I’d be the type of woman to fall in love on TV but now I am that b—h. I can already feel the ‘love is dead’ comments brewing, but I can promise you guys it is 100% alive and well.” Seriously, though, if they can’t make it… who can?!
