We know this is forever. Why would we wait?” he wrote at the time. “You literally stayed by my side when I felt I had lost my mind. You stayed by my side for these seemingly random changes of my life.…You’re undeniably the spark that reignited my fire. You’re deserving of much more than just this moment but this one just felt particularly magical.…I’ll never have enough words to tell you how much I love you, but I promise to always show you. But for now, I’ll finish this how I started: I love you. SO MUCH.”

Why do you care?’ And he said, ‘I like every other ring you usually send me, just not this one.’”

The couple split in March 2018. “She was having a difficult time with the distance, both of them wanted to see more of each other but with his baseball schedule and her shooting schedule and everything going on with the show in Atlanta, they just couldn’t seem to make it work anymore,” a source told Us Weekly at the time. “They both wish each other the best and ended things amicably.”

In a February 2019 episode of Don’t Be Tardy, Biermann revealed that Kopech had been the one to end their relationship. “I’m just, like, not in the mood to talk about Michael right now,” she said at the time. “What really sucks is that I had my whole life with Michael planned. I was about to move to Chicago for him.”

She continued, “I was literally with him for a week and then two days later, he was like, ‘Let’s just take a break.’ And I’m just like, ‘OK, dude.’ Like, ‘I’ll let you know when I’m ready for you.’”
