The Bachelorette couple Trista and Ryan Sutter have been married for more than 20 years and they’re one of the best success stories from Bachelor Nation.
Thankfully, there’s no cause for concern with their relationship despite Ryan‘s cryptic post that made it seem like they had split.
One week ago, Ryan shared a photo of him and Trista on Instagram with the caption, “I really wish I could talk to you. Ask you how you’re doing? How was your day. I’d really like to hear your voice – just for a minute. So many times I’ve called without much to say, not realizing how lucky I was or how much I’d miss the opportunity if it were gone. I want to know how you’re doing. I want to support and encourage and cheer you on. I want to be there for you. But I can’t. And that’s ok cause I know you need this time – time to discover yourself again. So I’ll be here for you instead. I’ll be here when you get back. I’ll be here to listen to you, to smile with you, maybe cry with you – I’ll be here to love you… I’ll be here… forever.”
Ryan later clarified that it was just a message for Trista while she was away from home. He said, “She understood the context and so did I. No one else did however, and that’s where things went sideways. It was suggested that Trista had died, we were in trouble or that it must be a mid life crisis among many other creative ideas.”
Now, Trista is speaking out.

“Geez people. Can’t a girl have a nervous breakdown/trial separation/midlife crisis/death/divorce in peace around here?! ????????,” she joked.
Trista continued, “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.”
“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,” she said. “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.”
She added, “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. He doesn’t owe anyone any explanation or require permission to post what he wants to post and share what he wants to share. ???? If you want to know the rest of the story, I will share in due time. For now, it’s back to our regularly scheduled programming – from a beach in Mexico! ???????? ????️???? After all, nervous breakdowns and separations require much needed rest and relaxation! ????”
The couple’s wedding is on the list of the most expensive celeb weddings of all time.
