Love is lovelier the second time around.
Charlie O’Connell and Sarah Brice from Extra!
The recently reunited couple Charlie O’Connell and Sarah Brice from "The Bachelor" revealed why they initially broke up, discussing plans to move in together and reacting to another Bachelor split.
In September 2007, O’Connell and Brice parted ways and Brice admitted to Extra: “I needed to go out and become my own person and figure out who I really was and what I wanted.” O’Connell added, “I think the break up really helped our relationship.”
Now back together, Brice told Ray about an important change in O’Connell saying, “He’s not drinking anymore, so that’s a huge thing in our relationship.” Brice admitted that O’Donnell’s drinking was “definitely hands down” an issue when they first started dating.
As for their future, Brice explained, “Obviously we will live together again. [But] I kind of don’t want to live together until we are married…When the time is right, we will know.”
When asked if they were surprised to hear The Bachelorette’s DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak called it quits, O’Connell responded, “I’m not surprised because it happens and it’s really hard after being in the bubble of The Bachelor to then go and live in the real world and not really knowing each other.”
Brice continued, “Also, I think, when you’re in the spotlight and you’re placed in that situation, it’s very easy to feel like you’re in love…but I think after all that wears off, the core issues start to come out.”
