When did Kendall and Joe break up?

Kendall Long and Joe Amabile met on Bachelor in Paradise season 5 and from the very first day, they made it clear that they had a strong connection. They depicted a beautiful relationship during the show that was loved by their fans but they broke up before the finale episode which came out as a shock to their fans. However, the couple decided to give their relationship a shot after the completion of the show and dated for two years. They announced their break up in January 2020.

Why did Kendall and Joe break up?

During the Clickbait podcast, Joe revealed that a major issue between them was to decide where to live as Kendall was not convinced to live in Chicago. Joe also mentioned that he might change her decision later on but was unable to do so. “Kendall had expressed to me that she would never want to live in Chicago”, Joe revealed. "She did express at the beginning of our relationship she would never want to do it”, he further stated. “In my head, I thought maybe that would change as time moved on, but she just would never want to live in Chicago.", he added. 

While speaking about him living in LA, Joe stated, "The way I looked at it was, 'What am I doing in LA?'”. “At the time, there wasn't much for me to do there. I didn't want to be the guy that was on a reality show just living off of, 'Oh I was on The Bachelor a year ago, look at me, yay!' I needed something else", he added. 

As the duo is back on the show again, Joe has been taking a keen interest in Serena Pitt. Fans are excited to watch the upcoming episodes to see whether Joe and Kendall will be back together in this season or will go separate ways. Bachelor in Paradise airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 PM ET on ABC.
