Bachelor in Paradise fans had started to worry that Cody Sattler and Michelle Money had broken up, and now the couple has confirmed that they have, indeed, split. Though all had seemed well just a few weeks ago, Michelle and Cody stopped posting about one another on social media and many fans had a bad feeling that something had gone wrong. Indeed, Cody and Michelle have called things off, and they both took to social media to break the news.
Though there had been some signs that perhaps the Bachelor in Paradise couple was on the rocks , many hoped that Michelle Money and Cody Sattler were doing fine and just laying low. It didn’t take long after the speculaton started, however, for Cody and Michelle to put forth what appeared to be a coordinated effort to break the news to fans. Both Michelle and Cody posted to their social media accounts with similar statements at almost the exact same time.
Money said that “After 6 months of dating, Cody and I have decided that we are going to move on from our relationship.” She says that she feels blessed and fortunate to share beautiful memories with Cody and he has blessed her and her daughter Brielle’s life more than he will ever know. Michelle says that Cody’s positive impact on Brielle is something she will always be grateful for.
Michelle said that the decision was a difficult one, especially given all of the fan support. She says she’s glad she followed her heart as it led her to Cody and that he made her feel loved and appreciated. She says she wishes it could have ended up the way they had hoped, and she wishes him nothing but love and happiness.
Sattler’s post was very similar to Michelle’s. He says Michelle and Brielle made him a better person in all areas of his life and they will always hold a special place in his heart. He says he’s thankful to have gone on Bachelor in Paradise and got to experience amazing things with a beautiful woman. He says he will always cherish the memories, and he too thanks the fans for their support.
Cody adds that he looks forward to what the future holds and he will “continue to always listen and follow my heart.” As Bachelor in Paradise fans know, Sattler left behind his home in Chicago and moved to Utah to be with Michelle and Brielle as soon as the show finale aired. The couple seemingly had been doing very well as they had spent Thanksgiving together and over that weekend, Cody was posting about her being his soulmate and the love of his life.
What went wrong between Michelle and Cody? At this point, nobody is saying anything specific. The Bachelor in Paradise stars, at least for now, are clearly taking the high road and fans will be curious to see if anything more comes to light. Though they were a bit of a surprising couple at first, fans grew to love them together and it certainly seemed that they were head-over-heels in love.
Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul , the other couple who made it through Bachelor in Paradise , seem to be doing well and appear to be making solid plans for their wedding. Many fans thought that soon Michelle and Cody would be doing the same, especially given the love-y posts popping up just a matter of weeks ago.
Just what caused the seemingly sudden split for Michelle Money and Cody Sattler? Nobody other than them knows at this point, but Bachelor in Paradise fans are definitely shocked and disappointed.
