Why did he marry her and have her family spend thousands of dollars on the wedding, and then all of a sudden say, "I just can't do this anymore?"' Another source corroborated the previous one's claims that Garrett may not be the man he appears to be on The Bachelorette, telling Hollywood Life: 'I want Becca to know the truth about Garrett. He's a nice guy at first, but she needs to watch out.'

Who does Becca pick on The Bachelorette? Garrett Yrigoyen will reportedly win The Bachelorette. Reality Steve was first to report that the Manteca, California native would be in Becca Kufrin's final four, but hadn't yet announced who she'd select as her beau when the season came to a close. Before the spoiler blogger could share that information, TMZ published photos that appeared to have been taken after Garrett got down on one knee and proposed to the Bachelorette star.<doc-sep>SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not yet watched the June 18 episode of “The Bachelorette.” Following last week’s bloodbath episode, which landed two suitors in the hospital, Week 4 on “The Bachelorette” brought a little more love and a little less pain, but still plenty of drama. Picking up at last week’s cocktail party, the episode opened with Becca Kufrin handing out roses to her 17 remaining men (after Clay went home ahead of the rose ceremony last week to get surgery). David, who was hurt last week after he fell out of his bunk bed, returned to the Bachelor Mansion with a broken nose and bruised face to receive an early rose. The Bachelorette sent Ryan and Mike home, bringing the count to 15 men still in the running for Kufrin’s heart. This week kicked off the season’s first travel dates, with the group continuing the journey for love in Park City, Utah. Garrett Yrigoyen scored the first one-on-one date outside of Los Angeles, with he and Kufrin heading out for a low-key day of shopping and eating in Park City. Yrigoyen, who received the first impression rose in the premiere, faced public backlash earlier this season after it was revealed he had a history of liking Instagram posts that mocked Parkland high school students, liberal women, trans people, and undocumented immigrants. This was the most screen time he’s gotten since Week 1, and he seems to have Kufrin smitten, after she confessed how much he reminds her of home and how much her late father would have loved him. Hmm, this complicates things. Meanwhile back at the hotel, Lincoln revealed to the other men that he thinks the Earth is flat. So many questions, but they remain unanswered. Lincoln had his own off-screen drama this week, as he was convicted of indecent assault and battery resulting from a 2016 incident in Boston. A lot of winners this season. Back on the one-on-one, Kufrin and Garrett headed out on the slopes to bobsled with some former Olympians, as they spoke about their strong feelings for each other. At dinner, they opened up about their past relationships and Garrett confessed he’d been married before, getting divorced after two months. As Kufrin admitted her “really, really strong feelings” toward him, Garrett was given the rose and the two ended the night dancing in front of the crowd at a country concert. Garrett takes the lead as the new frontrunner! The week’s group date got rugged, with Kufrin taking the group of men into the woods for a lumberjacking competition. The suitors chopped wood, threws axes and lifted logs, all while decked out in plenty of flannel, with software engineer John taking home the trophy. Who knew software engineers knew their way around an axe so well? At the afterparty, drama brewed with male model Jordan traipsing around the date in golden underwear, while Colton called him out for being a clown. Meanwhile, “colognoisseur” Jean Blanc presented Kufrin with a custom bottle of “Becca Blanc” perfume as he told her he was falling in love with her — which was met by a long silence on the Bachelorette’s part. She then quickly send him home as he tried to backtrack and say he didn’t mean it. Stone cold! Kufrin returned to the afterparty visibly upset about Jean Blanc lying to her and decided to go home, ending the group date before giving out a rose. Wills landed the second one-on-one date, with Kufrin still emotional and shaken up from the night before. After the two went snowmobiling and had a picnic on a mountain, The Bachelorette opened up to Wills about her insecurities with the “Bachelor” process. Wills seemed to quell her fears about finding love on reality TV (smart! ), as he revealed his past heartbreak and received the date rose. At the end of the week, Kufrin decided to skip the cocktail party and head straight to the rose ceremony, sending home Nick and Christon and knocking it down to 12 suitors. With a dozen men left, let the real competition begin! Next week, the show travels to Las Vegas, as male model Jordan promises that he’s about to step up “from Captain Underpants to Captain Just Stole Everyone’s Girl.” Yikes! “The Bachelorette” airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.<doc-sep>
Garrett Yrigoyen is a front-runner on The Bachelorette 2018 and he was also this season’s recipient of the first impression rose. Going along with the first impression rose, was also the first kiss of the season. When it comes to his background in love, Yrigoyen has actually been married before. He was previously married to a woman named Kayla Cunningham, but it was a short-lived marriage. OKHereIsTheSituation has reported that the ex-couple’s wedding was on September 19, 2015 and they divorced after just about 6 months together. The divorce was finalized on March 25, 2016. According to divorce papers on Radar Online, the ex-couple married in Newcastle, California. Garrett Yrigoyen’s divorce papers also stated that both Cunningham and Yrigoyen stated they are incompatible in marriage, could no longer live together as husband and wife, and that there was no chance of reconciliation. According to Reddit, there was a registry still up for the ex-couple on The Knot, but it was taken down. Yrigoyen was reportedly “heartbroken” at the end of his relationship with Cunningham, but an alleged friend of Cunningham told Life & Style Magazine that Yrigoyen changed after the two married. The friend claimed that Yrigoyen became cold and disrespectful to Cunningham, as well as her family. The source said that Yrigoyen just packed up his things one day and, “A week later, he said he wanted half of everything.” In addition the friend said Cunningham’s family “felt like she had been scammed. Why did he marry her and have her family spend thousands of dollars on the wedding, and then all of a sudden say, ‘I just can’t do this anymore?’” On the show, Yrigoyen said he was in love once after college and that she loved adventure as much as he did. He said that he and his ex were together for a year and a half before getting engaged. He also said they were engaged for a year before tying the knot. Yrigoyen said he married the wrong person and that they were really only truly married for 2 months. This past does trouble Kufrin a little when she first hears the story. Yrigoyen said that Cunningham drove a wedge between himself and his family, as well as his friends. He said he wanted to fight for it to work out, but said his ex was emotionally abusive. He claimed she would “build him up” and then tear him down. According to an online commenter, a woman claiming to be a friend of Yrigoyen’s wrote on Twitter that Yrigoyen’s reason for divorce was still a mystery to her. Read her tweet below.

Lol. — Libby Lopez (@Lbeeloo) April 26, 2018 When it comes to Yrigoyen’s relationship with Becca Kufrin on The Bachelorette this season, the friend has a warning for Kufrin, according to Hollywood Life. “I want Becca to know the truth about Garrett. He’s a nice guy at first, but she needs to watch out.” Prior to the first episode of The Bachelorette this season, Kufrin made an announcement to all of her Instagram followers about what to expect from her suitors. Kufrin wrote in an Instagram post that, “Before you all join me in watching the beginning of my love story tonight, I want to take a second to give thanks. Thank you to everyone for all of the love, support and kind words that I’ve received over the past year … I also want to ask that you keep an open heart in watching this all unfold. 28 guys came on this journey with me from all across the country and laid their hearts on the line for a chance at love. There are many different personalities, interests and perspectives, but every man deserves to feel the same support and openness that I’ve received over the past few months. It’s not an easy thing to do, to give up your life and put everything on display, especially in this social climate. But these men were brave enough to do that with me, and that’s something truly special.” Kufrin has said that Yrigoyen gives her a sense of home and she finds him very attractive. She also said that Yrigoyen reminds her of her late father.
