Brace yourselves, 'Bachelorette' fans. Yet another 'Bachelor(ette)' romance has bitten the dust: Ali Fedotowsky and fiancé Roberto Martinez are not getting married after all. We know, it's a shock. There we were, thinking that the wedding had merely been put on hold several times because of inconvenient knee surgery, pre-nup dieting, the fact that they barely knew each other ...

The couple's rep confirmed the split, telling 'Life & Style' magazine, "Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez have ended their relationship. As they go through this difficult time, we ask that you respect the couple's privacy."

Only last month -- after the wedding was delayed (again) -- Ali denied the relationship was over, telling 'People,' "We're still engaged, we're still living together. We just don't feel the need to walk down the aisle right now."

As if the 'Bachelor' finale and the 'Dancing With the Stars' season 10 cast reveal weren't enough surprises for one night, ABC has announced that Ali Fedotowsky of 'The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love' will be the next 'Bachelorette.'

"I'm so excited," she told Chris Harrison during the reunion special, 'After the Final Rose.' "I'm so thrilled, and honored and grateful."
