Bachelor Winter Games’ Dean and Lesley Are Splitsville – Today’s News: Our Take

It’s been a rough day in Bachelor Nation.

Coming hot on the heels of the news that Bachelor Winter Games couple Clare Crawley and Benoit Beausejour-Savard have called off their engagement, E! News reports that another Bachelor Winter Games couple, Lesley Murphy and Dean Unglert, has also split.

“It is very recent, but they have been rocky for a few weeks now,” a source told E! News. “Distance and traveling were a factor. They are both going to continue to be friendly and are on good terms, but their romantic relationship has ended.”

They met during filming of the Bachelor spin-off last year, and their relationship was a very cute storyline. It helped Dean redeem his image after he made himself look bad on Bachelor in Paradise while dating two women at the same time. During the finale of Winter Games, Dean did a fake-out where it seemed like he was about to propose to Lesley, but he actually just gave her a key to his apartment. Clare and Benoit were the ones who got engaged.

With Ashley Iaconetti and Kevin Wendt’s breakup last month, the only remaining Winter Games couple is Lily McManus and Courtney Dober, the Kiwi and Australian who went on an adorable road trip.

The good news out of all this? This probably means that Dean will be on Bachelor in Paradise this summer.
