Demi Burnett made history in the summer of 2019 when she and Kristian Haggerty became the first same-sex couple in Bachelor Nation. During their season of Bachelor in Paradise<\/em>, although there was some drama of course, Demi proposed to Kristian, and the two left the island happier than ever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But now, Demi is back on Bachelor in Paradise<\/em>, looking for love once again. So there must have been trouble in her paradise with Kristian, but what exactly happened? Why did they break up?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span>Demi revealed why she and Kristian broke up on the \u2018Almost Famous\u2019 podcast.<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

For a long time, Demi and Kristian\u2019s statement was all the information we had about their breakup. E! News<\/em><\/a> also shared what they knew from a source close to the former couple. Apparently, since they returned from Bachelor in Paradise<\/em>, their relationship was \u201cextremely rocky,\u201d and they had been \u201ctrying to make things work for the last month.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThey were supposed to permanently move in together in LA, and that never happened,” according to the source. \u201cThey really haven’t spent much time together in the same place since getting back from Paradise<\/em>, and it made them rethink the whole situation. They grew apart, and once they came down from the post-vacation high, they realized they were rushing their relationship. They still love each other but felt it was best to call off the engagement for now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That\u2019s not too surprising since one of the main criticisms of Bachelor<\/em> relationships is that they go way too fast. Even though Demi and Kristian<\/a> dated before going on Bachelor in Paradise<\/em>, they still couldn\u2019t make it work. <\/p>\n

Demi revealed why on Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti\u2019s podcast, Almost Famous<\/em>.<\/a> \u201cKristian is very, very loving, and she\u2019s the best girlfriend, the best partner to be with. She would do anything for you, and I didn\u2019t reciprocate that,\u201d Demi explained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t as good to her as she was to me. I was kind of distant. I was overwhelmed. I was freaked out.\u201d Many of us have heard that in relationships before. But Demi went on, realizing that she just couldn\u2019t get to the same place Kristian was in. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe was so in it, and she was so good to me, and that would make me feel guilty because I was like, \u2018I\u2019m not feeling the same anymore, and I feel bad that I don\u2019t feel the same anymore because I made a commitment to you. I feel like a garbage human being.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She added, \u201cI wanted to be with her more than anything, and I kept trying, and I kept trying, and I just wasn\u2019t feeling it anymore \u2026 I wasn\u2019t anywhere near ready for what I signed myself up for and what I did.\u201d Demi even dished that when Kristian proposed back to her on the Bachelor in Paradise <\/em>reunion, Demi was annoyed with her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt definitely made me angry,\u201d she revealed. \u201cI\u2019m a selfish person sometimes, and that was my thing, you know: ‘I proposed to you.’\u201d And to make things worse, Demi didn\u2019t even like the ring that Kristian picked out for her. So it sounds like splitting up was the right decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Demi also dated musician Slater Davis<\/a> starting in February, and she lived with him and his family during the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, quarantining with him and the family took a toll on their relationship, and they broke up after four months. So Demi is now single and back in Paradise<\/em>, ready to stir up drama, make jokes, and break hearts.<\/p>\n
