Speaking out.
Trista and Ryan Sutter found love and got engaged on the very first season of “The Bachelorette.”
Trista gave Ryan her final rose back in 2003 and the two have been together ever since.
Since then, the Bachelor Nation couple has gotten married and had two children: Max and Blakesley.
Over the past couple of weeks, Ryan had fans worried, as he’s been posting black-and-white photos of Trista with cryptic captions while she was on a self-discovery journey away from home.
Now, Trista has returned to social media and spilled the tea on what she’s been up to and her well-being.
She started off by saying, “Geez people. Can’t a girl have a nervous breakdown/trial separation/midlife crisis/death/divorce in peace around here?!”
Then, Trista shared what’s really been going on.
She said, “In all seriousness, for those concerned, I’m safe and sound, happy and healthy, in love and grateful. For those who’d rather focus on being critical and searching way too hard for darkness, good luck with that. An opportunity for perspective and personal growth presented itself and with the unconditional support of my family and friends, I chose myself and betterment, knowing that my stay-at-home-mom job and my kids end-of-the-school-year needs were in the best, most capable hands.”
The former Bachelorette continued, “My stoic husband who usually chooses privacy over posting, decided to share his love for me in messages that would find me in my travels. We look at Instagram like a digital diary. Most of the time, the world doesn’t pay too much attention. This time, he couldn’t say anything right and just about every news outlet picked up his ‘cryptic/confusing/attention-seeking/dramatic’ pictures and captions. To me, they gave me exactly what my Words of Affirmation love language needed to get me through some serious self doubt and fear…and that’s all that matters.”
Trista shared that Ryan doesn’t owe anyone an explanation and can post whatever he feels like sharing.
She said she will share more in time, but for now she is enjoying some family time on vacation in Mexico.
We are so happy to see the Sutter family reunited and we’re glad to hear that Trista is happy and healthy and their relationship is as good as ever!
