Bristowe, 36, began by pointing out how Adams was no longer wearing her engagement ring. "All in all, all I have to say is that I'm heartbroken," the season 16 Bachelorette said. "But we tried really hard and I still love him very much. And I'm not sure that the future holds." "I mean, you know how it is," Adams added, referencing Bristowe's post-show breakup from former fiancé Shawn Booth. "It's really tough." Bristowe then offered her support to Adams after the revelation. "It's really hard but we're here for you and obviously want you to be happy," Bristowe said as Adams added, "Thank you."

Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty "Things have been strained through the fall. Both of their schedules have been really tough," the source said. "Tayshia has been very busy and Zac also has a lot on his plate. Scheduling time together was just very difficult." But Adams is also "way more comfortable in the spotlight because of her job and he's much less so," the source said. "At the end of the day, they're very different people," the source added. "They're both good people — she's amazing and he's a great guy and very passionate about his work. But they're a total mismatch." The Bachelorette airs on ABC Tuesdays (8 p.m. ET) on ABC.
