Bachelor Nation Breakup: Michael Allio and Danielle Maltby Call It Quits!

Guess what, Bachelor Nation? Brace yourselves, because another couple has bitten the dust in 2023. The most recent duo to call it quits is none other than Michael Allio and Danielle Maltby from Bachelor in Paradise season 8. Michael dropped the bombshell news while speaking on Jason Tartick’s podcast, Trading Secrets, on September 18.

“I guess I’ll just come out with it,” he said. “We’re not together anymore. It’s not what we planned. We both put our hearts and souls into this relationship, and it’s really awful when things don’t work out.”

But hey, breakups happen, and Michael understands the pain all too well. He shared, “You mourn the loss not only of that person and friend in your life but also of the future that you had envisioned. And it’s no fault of hers. She gave everything to this relationship. We’re still trying to work through things and stay close. But these last couple of months have been really tough.”

Now, let’s rewind a bit and talk about these breakup rumors. Back in July 2023, fans noticed that Michael and Danielle weren’t posting about each other on social media anymore. And the speculation only grew when Michael kinda addressed the situation on the She’s All Bach podcast on August 3.

According to Michael, both he and Danielle believe that the only people who should be involved in their relationship are the two of them. They felt that keeping things private is the healthiest way to sustain their bond. He made it clear that they both love each other very much.

But wait, there’s more! The breakup rumors escalated further recently when Danielle decided to delete all her posts with Michael. He did the same but left a few up – what a tease!

And then, on September 17, Danielle dropped a bombshell on her Instagram Story, solidifying everyone’s breakup theory. She wrote, “Rainbows have been my sign lately that everything will be OK. To keep looking up and finding the light around you. They’ve come in different forms. A couple double rainbows in the sky, some being sent by friends after we’re done talking about them… Dreams will come true,” accompanied by a picture of Brandy Carlisle singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” at her concert the night before.

So, it’s official! Michael has confirmed the split. As for the reasons behind their breakup, that remains a mystery – one that only they know. We’ll be sure to keep you updated if any juicy details emerge.
