Surprise, Bachelor Matt Grant and Shayne Lamas Split

Shayne Lamas and Matt Grant have split up. There's been 'rocky romance' talk since June, when Matt moved out of Shayne's L.A. condo because he 'needed space,' although he insisted they were still in love and engaged at the time.  He said this possibly because they really were still dating and possibly because they had an ABC special scheduled in July that they needed to be together for.  Either way, they're over now.  Their publicist told People yesterday:

• 'We tried hard to make it work but we realized that we were both heading in different directions.  We truly care about each other and will remain close friends.'

It's still unclear who instigated the break-up because some people are saying 'Matt finally wised up and dumped the bimbo supreme,' while others are saying Matt was devastated after Shayne dumped him by text message.  Another version says Matt was only using Shayne for a green card.  Meanwhile it is pretty obvious to everyone and their mom that Shayne was probably using Matt to boost her acting career.

Guess there won't be any more 'monkey'!
