Well, that was fast.

The Bachelorette's Britt Nilsson and Brady Toops have split after less than six months of dating, multiple sources exclusively confirm to E! News. 

After meeting during the premiere episode of this season, which found Kaitlyn Bristowe being chosen over Britt as the Bachelorette, Brady decided to leave the show to pursue a relationship with her. And once it was revealed that the duo decided to officially become boyfriend and girlfriend in the third episode of the season, they were not shy about sharing their love on social media, posting a bunch of photos on Instagram.

ABC had no comment on Britt and Brady's break-up.

However, the social media PDA soon screeched to a halt. The last photo of the duo together was posted almost a month ago, with Brady writing, "This is the pic that inspired me to start growing a mustache.. thank you @brittkarolina." 

A week later, he posted a photo of him and Kaitlyn from the premiere to defend Kaitlyn from haters. "I still obviously stand by my decision to leave, but Kaitlyn really is such a beautiful person!" Brady wrote. "And c'mon guys, @brittkarolina is obviously amazing as well! No haters please.."

The Bachelorette continued to update fans on Britt and Brady's relationship throughout the season, including Brady meeting Britt's mom for the first time. However, the most recent update featured Brady, a musician, heading home to Nashville, with Britt staying in Los Angeles. "I feel sad I'm leaving," Brady told her. Britt then told the cameras that she was hopeful the couple could make long-distance work.  "The next stage will really be the test," she said. "So we'll see. Fingers crossed."
