Blake Horstmann thought he’d found love forever with Becca Kufrin, so he was shocked when the Bachelorette chose Garrett Yrigoyen over him in Monday night’s finale episode. While he has since moved on from the shocking heartbreak, Blake admitted that at the time, it was “incredibly hard” to accept Becca had found love with someone else.

“It made for some really hard days, but I had a great support system,” Blake said of the “incredibly hard” aftermath of being dumped. “My family was amazing. We talked through a lot of things and they were there for me.”
