Greg Grippo and Victoria Fuller have gone their separate ways.

The Bachelor Nation couple separated several months ago, PEOPLE confirms.

Page Six was first to report the news.

Grippo was last seen on Fuller’s Instagram feed on July 31. She posted a photo of them cuddling, as well as footage of him petting their dog and impersonating Kim Kardashian. Grippo jokingly commented on the post, "Ya and I’m copying her dolce vita lifestyle…"

On her Instagram Story, Fuller shared even more documentation of Grippo, including a selfie of them together. She wrote of the photo, “Here’s a couple photos from this weekend that didn’t make the Instagram post cut.”

Fuller, 29, and Grippo, 30, first sparked dating rumors last summer when they were spotted vacationing in Italy together. But the off-screen romance evolved as Fuller was falling for Johnny DePhillipo on-screen during Bachelor in Paradise's 8th season.

Fuller and DePhillipo's whirlwind romance ended in an engagement, though the former Bachelorette contestant revealed they were only engaged for "a month" before calling it quits.

Fuller confirmed her relationship with Grippo during the season 8 reunion of BIP. She also denied cheating on DePhillipo, 26, though, her now-ex-fiancé countered: "I still consider talking to someone else while we're working on our issues cheating or emotional cheating."

Grippo then joined Fuller onstage and explained how they met: “We've been friends for a while. We met last year through mutual friends.” After initially building a friendship, he revealed that they didn't choose to explore a possible romantic bond until after she returned from Paradise.

"I was like, you know what, we're at this moment where we're really interested in one another and I was like, I want to take you out for a drink," Grippo said. "So, you want to go to Rome in two days?"

In defense of the relationship, Fuller said: "No one has to understand it or get it and that's OK. But everyone can hate us if they f---ing want."

Days later, Fuller and Grippo became Instagram official on Thanksgiving.

One month into dating, the couple opened up about their plans to move into together in Nashville during a joint appearance on The Viall Files podcast. Grippo was living in New York City at the time while Fuller was already a resident of Nashville.

"We're kind of already in the process. It's Nashville for us," Grippo told host Nick Viall in late November. "I think that's the step that we're taking right now is moving in together."

Fuller and Grippo believed they were each other's "person" and saw marriage in the cards.

"We could be in the same room for days on end and really not get sick of one another and we're growing day by day. I see it going that route [of marriage]," Grippo admitted. "I want that. I know that's important to her. I want to be able to take that step with her."

The pair also made family a priority in their relationship. Fuller shared that her boyfriend has already come to Boston to meet her family and "they love him."

"It was great. I loved them and that's so important to me getting along with each other's families," Grippo shared. "I just have such a close knit family that I want her to be super involved with them and I want to be able to love hers and vice versa."

Fuller also expressed her excitement for the future of her romance with Grippo, including the possibility of them building a family together. "Greg and I are very, very happy right now," she told E! News. "We are just enjoying being able to finally be together."

She added: "We don't know what the future holds, but maybe it's a bunch of Grippo babies. We'll see!"
