The former couple, who met on last year’s season of The Bachelorette, took to their respective Instagram accounts on July 1 to announce the news.
‘We have not wanted to confirm until this point because there have been much bigger issues going on in the world and we’ve both been taking space to think about what we really want,’ Angie wrote in a post on Instagram Stories at the time.
Speaking to House of Wellness this weekend, Angie added: ‘I was hiding in bed a lot for the first couple of weeks dealing with all the feels and the constant speculation for over a month that Carlin and I had broken up when in fact we had not. We were taking time to navigate what was going on,’ Angie said.

The former Gogglebox Australia couch commentator claimed the constant split speculation, fan comments and media interest contributed to the break-up.
‘As much as people seem to think I am just some character on a show, I am a human just like everyone else with huge feelings and my own personal life going on, on top of navigating this relationship and then having to accept the fact that it didn’t pan out the way I thought it would,’ Angie added.
With the exes now living in separate states, Angie hopes to focus on ‘rebuilding’ herself and purchasing her first house.
