\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tNot all breakup statements are created equally, but the Bachelor Nation splits are adding up in 2022. Bachelor in Paradise season 7 pair Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian were the first couple to call it quits this year. \u201cWe have decided to go our separate ways. Never did we imagine this, but we\u2019ve come to [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Franco continued: \u201cI felt like to move forward with a clean slate<\/a> and really build this future with her, it was the right thing to do. Now, I still stand by that. Like, if we were going to build a future together, I think that was a good idea to tell her.\u201d<\/p>\nFranco noted that he wasn\u2019t sure if his behavior counted as cheating<\/a> because Recchia had already returned the engagement ring after a weeklong \u201cspace break\u201d at the time of the infamous kiss.<\/p>\nFranco now sees his behavior as \u201ctoxic\u201d because he should have taken the time to heal before diving into a new fling less than one week after a breakup.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see why it happened now,\u201d he told host Dave Neal<\/strong>, attributing his growth to therapy. \u201cNot excusing it [because] it was dumb to do, like, I should have gone [and] hid under a rock for two months.\u201d<\/p>\nAfter he came clean to Recchia about the kiss, she ended their engagement<\/a> for good.<\/p>\nFranco has been single since his Bachelor Nation<\/a> breakup, while Recchia is ready to try again to find The One. The pilot instructor joined Bachelor in Paradise<\/i> season 9<\/a>, which premieres on Thursday, September 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s perfect for somebody, it\u2019s just not me. I really think she will be an excellent partner to somebody else,\u201d Franco noted on Saturday, betting Recchia would likely meet her ideal partner<\/a> \u201cin a couple of years when she\u2019s a little bit further removed from the public eye.\u201d<\/p>\nFranco, for his part, then speculated that the odds of him joining BiP <\/i>were \u201cprobably zero,\u201d<\/a> unless they offered him a ton of money. \u201cI\u2019d be like, \u2018S\u2013t on me, whatever,\u2019\u201d he said, noting his paycheck would need to be more<\/a> than $35,000.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
