Colton Underwood Reveals Why Cassie Randolph Broke Up with Him

The Bachelor‘s Colton Underwood revealed what lead to his breakup with Cassie Randolph.

In his book, “The First Time: Finding Myself and Looking for Love on Reality TV,” Colton explained Cassie approached him after he recovered from Coronavirus while quarantining in the upstairs of her parents home.

She said she was “struggling with everything” in their relationship.

“After more than a month of being cooped up in her family’s home, both of us were feeling overwhelmed and smothered and eager to return to our respective apartments where we could enjoy our own space. Before we left, though, she took me aside and told me she was struggling with everything in our relationship and didn’t know what to do. My head spun like one of those characters in a cartoon. What? She was struggling with everything?,” Colton wrote (via Us Weekly), “In a calmer moment, I agreed we’d worked through some misfires and miscues lately, little things where we didn’t see exactly eye to eye, but I didn’t realize how much those little things had been impacting her. It was one of those proverbial deaths by a thousand paper cuts. Her eyes were full of tears as she tried to explain, struggling to find the right words and reasons that made sense. None did—at least not to me.”

He added, “For the next several days, we hung out and returned to normal the best we could considering the circumstances. When we drove back down to Huntington Beach a few days later, I brought up a project we were planning together and got an unexpected response. She said she didn’t know if we should jump into another project together when there was so much uncertainty in our relationship. Uncertainty? That hit me hard. Was there a timer on our relationship? What was going on? Were we together or not together? ‘Are we breaking up?’ I asked.” The excerpt ends there.

After their breakup, Cassie actually filed a restraining order against him and the details were shocking. She later dropped the request.
