Another one bites the dust – The Bachelorette’s Ali & Roberto are officially dunzo according to People.com. Ali and the Smoking Hot Latin Lover just weren’t meant to be.
I’m not going to lie, I’m a little sad about this one. Theirs was the season that brought me back to The Bachelor(ette). In my {seriously emotional} pregnant state these too made me less jaded about the show (we all know that didn’t last). I may have even gotten a little teary (when I say a little, I mean as little as possible) when he proposed (I can feel you judging and I don’t mind).
The Good News: Roberto (always pronounced by yours truly with a heavy spanish accent) is back on the market.
The Bad News: The one semi-legit couple to come out of The Bachelor franchise in recent years, is kaput. I thought these kids could work it out but I guess it just wasn’t in the cards for them. Kind of figured it wasn’t going to work out when Ali kept delaying the wedding, ironically enough, to WORK OUT.
Oh well. We’ll just have to settle for pictures of Ashley & JP going to the grocery and other lame parties in US Weekly until Ben picks out his floozy the love of his life.

Roberto Martinez and Ali Fedotowsky
Sorry, Bachelorette fans: there will officially be no wedding for Ali and Roberto.
“Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez have ended their relationship,” the couple’s rep tells PEOPLE. “As they go through this difficult time, we ask that you respect the couple’s privacy.”
The duo’s romance unfolded in 2010 on season 6 of the reality show, culminating with aromantic seaside proposal on the season finale.
In October, Fedotowsky downplayed rumors that their relationship was on the rocks, telling PEOPLE there were other reasons for putting their wedding plans on hold.
“We didn’t meet in the most traditional way. We had a very short courtship and we only knew each other nine weeks before we got engaged,” Fedotowsky said at the time. “We are still figuring out our lives as individuals.”
But Fedotowsky, 27, maintained she had still planned to tie the knot with her former fiancé.
“We’re still engaged, we’re still living together,” she said at the time. “We just don’t feel the need to walk down the aisle right now.
