The Bachelor: London Calling's Matt Grant has split from fiancee Shayne Dahl Lamas.

"We tried hard to make it work but we realized that we were both heading in different directions," they said in a statement Thursday. "We truly care about each other and will remain close friends."

See photos of other celebrity splits.

Engaged since the May 12 finale of the reality show, the pair have fought off breakup rumors since June when Grant, a global financier, moved out of the actress' L.A. pad.

"I never really moved in there," he tells Us Weekly in its latest issue, on newsstands now.

    Not a big shocker. He picked a spoiled and immature child when he said he was looking for a wife. He was one of the worst Bachelors the show has ever had. He didn't ask the girls much about themselves, just made out with almost all of them. It was obvious he was in it for just a good time. Hope Shayne enjoyed her 15 min and that we wont see more of her either!

    Whatever, it wasn't him, it was her. It was painfully obvious she was just doing this to feed her inflated ego. She's a 22 year old child, for God's sake. I knew he should've picked Chelsea. His loss.

    Dear Bachelor and Bachlorette Creators, Will you please stop getting these LOOSERS!! for Bachelors and get some real men that really want to get married. This show is soooooooo overated. Do us all a favor and do some intense background checks or should I say stable/stability checks before you name a guy "The Bachelor"

    I totally saw this coming! What an idiot, Matt! If you wanted a wife, get engaged to someone who's not just interested in boosting their career. Think with your brain and not your head (if you get what I mean). This show lacks romance and is basically just about a bunch of women looking for their 15 minutes of fame. Way to go Shayne, you got yours.

    Wow what a shocker there. I wonder if it was those barely there outfits she wore for that photo shoot soon after they were engaged. Yes, that is certainly one way to show you just got engaged to pose scantily for a magazine. The only marrige to survive off of these shows is Trista and Ryan Sutter they have been married since 02 and have a little boy. Other than that , forget it.
