Now that’s a breakup we didn’t see coming — Kirk absolutely broke Carly’s heart on Bachelor In Paradise . As soon as he started expressing his doubts and fears to her on the last day in paradise (as if you couldn’t have, I don’t know, talked to her about all of this prior to already committing to her as far as you can commit on Bachelor In Paradise), Carly knew what was up, and boy, was she a mess: avoiding Kirk, crying all around the villa, getting her friends involved, etc. And rightfully so — Kirk absolutely blindsided her. Carly was talking about having his kids and he had all these doubts in the back of his head. I would be equally as upset. Though we saw her completely devastated when she was in paradise, is Carly’s doing better after Bachelor in Paradise?
It takes a long time to come back from a terrible heartache — I’m sure a ton of us have been there — and this heartache really only happened two months ago. Luckily, it seems like she’s really leaned on her friends and family to get her through this hard time. I took a look through Carly’s social media accounts, and she appears to be healing well post-Kirk. And frankly, she’s doing exactly what I would be doing if I got dumped.
