Kylee Russell is leaning on her loved ones and fans amid her split from Aven Jones.
The Bachelor in Paradise star shared a heartfelt message to followers more than a week after announcing the breakup.
“Feeling extra thankful for this past week spent with my family,” Kylee wrote on her Instagram Stories Dec. 20, alongside a photo of a beach. “I wanted to thank each of you for your kind messages. The overwhelming love and thoughtfulness means the world to me.”
On the Dec. 7 season nine finale of Bachelor in Paradise, Kylee and Aven were shown leaving Mexico as a couple—without getting engaged. However, just two days later, the 27-year-old announced on Instagram that the pair had split.
“Following our relationship announcement yesterday, I want to thank my God he did not allow me to live another day in the dark,” the Bachelor season 27 alum in a statement posted to Instagram. “In the last 24 hours I have been grasping with the fact that one of the most important relationships in my life has dissolved due to multiple infidelities.”
