\"I love Clare and respect Clare enough to let her know how I feel,\" said Moss. \"I wanted nothing more than to make this relationship work.\"

His statement comes days after the former \"Bachelorette\" broke her silence about their split, inferring that she was blindsided by his Jan. 19 announcement that the two mutually decided to part ways.

\"The truth is I am crushed,\" Clare said last Thursday. \"Our relationship was not perfect, but I can say that I was genuinely invested with all of my heart.\"

In a since-deleted post, Moss previously stated their breakup was \"the healthiest decision for both of us at this time.\"

The former couple met on season 16 of \"The Bachelorette.\"
