The Bachelor curse strikes again!

Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik have called it quits!

Ben and Courtney had a troubled relationship from the start, even breaking up and getting back together, but now they’re not going to get married and they’re over for good.

“After meeting more than a year ago, we have decided to end our romantic relationship. The ups and downs weighed heavily on us both and ultimately we started to grow apart because of the distance, time apart and our need to focus on our respective careers,” they told In Touch magazine.

Ben was caught in a series of photos kissing another woman earlier in the year, but Courtney forgave him and they moved in together.

That bliss didn’t last long for Ben and Courtney though and they are definitely not walking down the aisle now.

"We have nothing but the utmost respect for each other, and both feel this is the right decision," the reality show stars said.

"We continue to remain friends and will support each other in future endeavors. Thanks to everyone for your love and support, it's been quite a ride."
