Just two days later, Peter took to Instagram to reveal that he and Prewett had decided to go their separate ways.
"Madi and I have mutually decided to not pursue our relationship any further," he wrote on Instagram. "Believe me this was not easy for either of us to be ok with, but after a lot of honest conversations, we have agreed that this is what makes most sense for the two of us. The love and respect I have for Madi will continue to endure."

"Hannah Ann, you set an example for women everywhere a couple nights ago. You are such a strong, confident woman and you deserve all the love in the world," he wrote. "I accept full responsibility for my mistakes in our relationship and wish you only the best. This has been an emotional experience and I am so grateful for the outreach of support that I have received from friends, family, and Bachelor Nation in the last few days. Thank you to all of you! This is just a another chapter in my story. One I will never forget and one I will always cherish."

"As Peter and I have decided to go our separate ways, I am confident that we will both move in the direction of our purpose and never forget that God has a plan in all things. I will always love and respect him," Madison continued. "I am convinced our paths were meant to cross and we are both better because they did. [Peter] you are an amazing guy and I'm thankful for you.

As for Peter's mom, Barb shared a video on her social media with friends singing John Denver's "Leaving on a Jet Plane" as her son announced the big split.
She captioned the post, "Love you guys," which struck many of her followers as a little too shady.
"Barb sorry but you need to stop," one wrote, as another chimed in, "Congrats barb your tantrum on national tv worked in the end hope it's worth it for you."
"The sad thing is that you'll never have the same relationship with your son again," another added. "I can't imagine feeling good about hurting my son or my relationship with him."

Devastated
Others were heartbroken that what they saw as legitimate love between the two was ended so messily.
I feel like @madiprew and Peter would’ve actually been really happy together if more people would’ve been supporting them instead throwing negativity there way. I feel so bad for both because you could see how much they loved each other. #TheBachelor @BachelorABC
