Blakeley Jones and Tony Pieper’s relationship has ended almost as quickly as it began.
The reality stars, who became engaged during the “Bachelor Pad” finale in September, have split, Gossip Cop confirms.
“Unfortunately, things didn’t work as we had hoped,” Pieper tells Wetpaint.
The single dad adds, “No one is to blame. It just ended up being a lot harder than we expected. I wish her nothing but the absolute best. She deserves total happiness.”

Jones, who had moved to Portland to join Pieper and his son, is expected to move back to her hometown of Charlotte.
The now-former couple began dating while filming the reality competition earlier this year, and Jones appeared shocked when Pieper dropped down on one knee during the finale.
The breakup comes just days after “Bachelorette” Emily Maynard — who rejected Pieper — and her fiance Jef Holm called it quits.
Jones had appeared on the “Bachelor” with Ben Flajnik, who also called off his engagement to Courtney Robertson earlier this month.
