Before Yrigoyen Stepped Into Fatherhood, There Was Becca Kufrin

Long before Garrett Yrigoyen announced he was expecting his first child with his wife, Alex, he was engaged to Bachelorette alum Becca Kufrin. The two got engaged during season 14 in 2018, but their relationship ended in 2020.

Kufrin later revealed their differing views, especially during the Black Lives Matter movement. Their differing views led her to take a hard look at their future together. She questioned whether their values matched enough to build a life and raise a family. In the end, the couple went their separate ways, which opened the door for new beginnings.
