After finally meeting in person, Hannah and Nick were whisked away to Mexico with the other engaged couples (except Braudy and his ex-fiancée Brittany Wisniewski). When Nick flirted with another woman while riding a plastic duck, the couple hit a speed bump, making Hannah feel disrespected. She responded by writing a list of her concerns about the relationship, including doubts about Nick's maturity. At the end of the trip, Nick agreed to work on being less selfish, while Hannah admitted she could focus on being kinder.

Hannah quickly realized that she was more mature than Nick, who was still on his parents' phone plan, didn't know how to make pasta, and couldn't mount a TV. “I’m younger and more mature than you,” she told him. While Hannah had her own apartment and worked since she was 15, Nick still lived in his parents' basement. However, the meeting with each other's families went surprisingly well, giving the two hope that they might be able to make it to the altar in a few weeks.

What have Hannah and Nick said about their breakup since then?

In a recent interview with PeopleHannah said it wasn't one specific thing that led to their breakup, but rather “many things” that built up over time.

“I think for me it just came down to: I saw my friends (with him), my family was there and I just had a moment where I was like, 'What am I doing?'” she revealed. “If I still see all these problems and I'm just mean to this man, I feel like I'm just persecuting this man. That's probably not someone I want to be married to. Everything just fell into place.” We shouldn’t come to this realization together.

Meanwhile, Nick recently defended himself and criticized Hannah's “completely wrong opinion” of him. “I’m just as intellectual as they are,” he said Weekly entertainment. “I'm not the type of person to say, 'I'm better than you at this, this and that.' “Obviously I felt like I wasn’t an equal in the relationship and throughout the show I was understanding, respectful, mature, sincere and financially savvy.”

He added: “I was a genuine, sincere guy the whole time. I'm very respectful.' Some people looked a little “delulu” sometimes, but not me.”

Looking back on the situation now, Hannah admits that she “fully realized” how badly she treated her fiancé at the time.

“I ended up thinking I don’t have anything nice to say at this point. I just say mean things and that's cruel to him. And it's cruel to me too, the way I am. “We just bring out the worst in each other,” she recalled People. “When I look at it again, it's a lot… The way I behaved was very cruel and very demeaning towards him. I wish I hadn’t done it that way.”

“I said things that I probably shouldn't have said, but it's just a learning experience and I realized that a lot of who I am isn't inherently bad and I'm not a mean girl,” she explained People. “It's just my way of saying things aren't great. And I never noticed that. And I realized that you just have to be kinder and more patient. And I think the show taught me a lot of patience, to be honest.”

She added that she's trying her best “to be able to do the same in future relationships.”

Meanwhile, Nick told us EW He has “no regrets at all” about appearing on the Netflix show. “It's about finding love, but it's a lot of soul-searching and also really growing as a person,” he said. “I found some things I never really knew.
