USA Network’s “Bridgerton”-inspired dating reality show “The Courtship” came to an end on May 25 with Nicole Remy accepting a marriage proposal from Daniel Bochicchio. But during an interview with AND! news that debuted online on June 2, Nicole revealed that Daniel broke up with her “a little over a month following filming” ended. “I was heartbroken. The feelings I had for him on the show and post-filming were always the same, and I wanted nothing more than to spend my life with him, whereas Danny told me following the show wrapped that he felt differently regarding me, and no longer felt like I was the one,” she said. “I was over the moon when he proposed. This was all I ever wanted from the show, someone to love and spend the rest of my life with, and he offered this to me, so I gladly accepted,” she added following acknowledging that their relationship progressed “much more quickly” than it might’ve if they’d met “in real life.” After filming wrapped, they traveled to New York so Nicole might meet Danny’s family. “[It] was exactly the life I envisioned with him: easy, fun, and adventurous. … There were some nights where we laughed harder than either of us had ever laughed, and we can both agree on this,” she said, noting that Daniel also met her family in Seattle. Said Daniel of the breakup, “I had a great experience on ‘The Courtship,’ where I made new friends and got to know the incredible woman that Nicole is. At the time of the proposal, I was hopeful that Nicole and I might make this work in the real world. It was never my intention to call off the engagement or hurt her, but unfortunately the realities of modern-day life caught up to me once I got home. I know this has been a difficult journey and I’m sorry it didn’t end as we all had hoped. I wish Nicole nothing but the best as we both move forward, it is what she deserves.” Nicole still misses her ex, she admitted to E!: “We [had] so many happy times, and I want to feel that magic that we once shared. … I was in love with him and I always knew he was the one.” Her heartbreak hasn’t made her give up on love, though: “I am where I am now for a reason, even if it is difficult for me to understand and process at this point. I am hopeful that my forever is just around the corner waiting and that I will someday have my fairytale ending. … I know I will find someone who means what they say, will promise me the world and deliver on it, and will make me feel happy and secure in who I am every day, Unfortunately, I didn’t find my true love in a castle, in England, under a glittering sky of fireworks, but I know it didn’t happen there because it was meant to happen elsewhere.”
