I am still hopeful they will be together for awhile. They seem to be a good match. I ran into this article on JustJared that quotes Intouch Weekly. I checked the internet to see if there were any other sources and People magazine just confirms the two have indeed called off the engagement. THEY are still together, but why make the announcement?! They never set a wedding date, why announce the engagement is off officially. I don’t have a good feeling about this one. Andy does seem like a media whore. Also, it seemed like Tessa wasn’t into him as much as he is into himself. Here’s the article from People.com:

Last season’s The Bachelor stars, Lt. Andy Baldwin and his chosen lady, social worker Tessa Horst, confirm to PEOPLE that they have broken their engagement but not their bond with each other.

“We are very much in love and committed to our relationship,” the couple say in a statement. “With the possibility of reassignment to a new location, we decided it was not the ideal time for Tessa to uproot herself and move out [to Hawaii] right now. Our relationship continues to deepen, and we’re very hopeful about our future together.”

At the ABC party during the Television Critics Association press tour in late July, Baldwin, 30, told PEOPLE that the San Francisco-based Horst, 26, was due to move to Hawaii, where Baldwin is currently posted, at the end of that month.

Baldwin had selected Horst on the May 21 finale of their season on the matchmaking program. At the time, Horst told PEOPLE, “Andy brings light into any room and just lights up the room. His smile and his warmth just make him so great to be around.”

About his station in Hawaii, Baldwin said, “I know that I have a year left and I may have the option of a three-year tour. There is also the option of a position in California. There is also a chance of me going back to finish my residency training. I am a firm believer that everything happened for a reason, and I am a firm believer that this happened in my life for a reason. Tessa came onto the show for a reason, and it is like a dream come true.”

This is a good recap of the show. I think she broke up with him and didn’t want to really commit to him by moving to Hawaii. I think she realized that he really loves the media attention and wants the glamorous life, and she just wanted a relationship. I know this is all speculation, but I did know Andy was going to pick Tessa.
