The Bachelorette's Emily Maynard and Jef Holm have confirmed the speculation that they've broken up.

Maynard, a single mom, says in a statement to People magazine, "I have no regrets because I did find love and shared an incredible journey with a really special person -- and you know what, we tried our best because the love between us was so real. I have nothing but respect and love for Jef and his family, but ultimately we are just at different points in our lives."

In his own statement, Holm says, "Emily and I are great friends and I hope we can continue to be friends forever. Everyone wants a salacious story to break, but the truth is we are just two people who fell in love and tried our hardest to make it work. I will always love her."

According to E! Online, Holm recently changed his relationship status on Facebook from "engaged" to "single." On Monday he re-tweeted a comment that reads, "God has a way to heal your sorrow. God has a way to touch your tomorrow. Trust him."

Emily's last post on Twitter is an Instagram photo depicting the following message: "She is clothed with strength & dignity and laughs without fear of the future."

Holm and Maynard got engaged on the most recent season of ABC's The Bachelorette, which aired over the summer.

I cannot even express to you how much I do not care about The Bachelor and Bachelorette shows.  I may be a minority though...do you watch them?
