Gabby hasn\u2019t been wearing her ring, and this isn\u2019t just for her dances. She hasn\u2019t been wearing it out (not with friends, not at this weekend\u2019s Halloween party). 6. Weird\/cryptic Instagram stories (someone come get their milkshake, chicken soup for the soul w\/ her parents).\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Gabby, for her part, addressed the rumors following the\u00a0DWTS<\/em> Halloween episode.<\/p>\n \u201cLife is just really busy for the both of us right now,\u201d she told\u00a0Fox News<\/em><\/a> on October 31. \u201cI understand [Bachelor Nation\u2019s] concern, but we\u2019re just, kind of, going forward with each of our individual interests and supporting each other from afar.\u201d<\/p>\n One week prior, Gabby told reporters that Erich was \u201creally supportive\u201d amid her time on the show.<\/p>\n While the pair left the reality dating series as a couple, the true test came after Erich continually finding himself in hot water with fans.<\/span><\/p>\n Controversy first began when a photo of the New Jersey native wearing Blackface<\/a> in his high school yearbook began circulating online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI wholeheartedly apologize for the insensitive photo of me in Blackface from my high school yearbook that has been circulating,\u201d Erich wrote via Instagram on September 8, captioning a photo of a black square. \u201cWhat I thought at the time was a representation of my love for Jimi Hendrix, was nothing but ignorance. I was na\u00efve to the hurtful implications of my actions to the Black community and those closest to me, and will forever regret my offensive and damaging behavior.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He concluded his post by noting, \u201cI am deeply ashamed by my actions and understand that my apology is only the first step in taking accountability.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Less than one week later, Erich\u2019s ex-girlfriend\u00a0Amanda Kaylor<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>leaked their alleged text messages<\/a>. She claimed to Reality Steve, per his podcast, that Erich wanted to continue dating her while he pursued the opportunity to go on\u00a0The Bachelorette<\/i>, but she ended things with him after he told her the news.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI know this isn\u2019t ideal. I wanted to do this to see if there was something else I could do with my life. I really like you, Amanda. I didn\u2019t think it would be a big deal but I understand how you feel,\u201d Erich allegedly wrote in one of the texts shared by Instagram page BachelorNation.Scoop.<\/span><\/p>\n The Bachelor Nation newbie later tried explaining to her that he needed a \u201cchange,\u201d writing, \u201cI\u2019m stuck in my career path, and I\u2019m miserable with it. I don\u2019t want this to be the rest of my life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n During the\u00a0After the Final Rose<\/i>\u00a0special, Gabby revealed that Erich had already told her about the texts prior to the leak, and Erich admitted that he \u201cled\u201d Amanda on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Erich, Gabby and Amanda did not respond to\u00a0Life & Style<\/i>\u2019s request for comment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Erich proposed\u00a0to Gabby during the finale,\u00a0<\/span>and they were<\/span>\u00a0engaged<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n However, fans watched as Erich expressed his concerns over popping the question.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI just, like, I want to date you,\u201d he admitted to Gabby during a private conversation. \u201cGetting engaged before that happens is not how things usually go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The leading lady walked away from the conversation and burst into tears, explaining, \u201cWhat am I supposed to do? Walk away because he\u2019s not ready to propose?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nAre Gabby Windey and Erich Schwer Still Together?<\/span><\/h2>\n
