'He tried absolutely everything to make it work, but in the end, he couldn't. His heart has been broken.'

The news comes after a video resurfaced of the pair discussing their engagement, in which Emma reveals Lachy was initially hesitant about entering into a relationship with her.

In the clip, from the Tea With Jules YouTube series, Emma reveals that she fell in love with Lachlan the first day she met him, however it took Lachy longer.

'I have always loved Lachlan, since the very day I met you. It's taken Lachlan a long time,' she said, before her fiance said: 'I liked you too, it's just…' 


Emma then went on to explain that they “dwindled” into their engagement.

'You become so close, and you work so closely together, that we already had such a good relationship before we dwindled into becoming engaged.'
