I saw rumors on social media of the "Bachelorette" couple breaking up and then saw it on a website ad. I did not see Gabby come out and say this on social media though. Is it true?

Yes, it has been proven to be true. Gabby and Erich both posted statements in regards to their breakup. Gabby also talked about it on Dancing with the Stars.

@amygm2 good fact-check. In the future, try to locate the sources that you mention in the explanation (re: the statements that were posted by Gabby and Eric). That would provide even more evidence to back your fact-check. Also, next time please post your fact-check as an "answer" and not a "comment" to the claim. By doing so, you can receive upvotes for your answer and also be chosen as the "best answer."

According to E News, 

This claim is true. According to Erich and Gabby, they released statements that announced their breakup. Gabby claimed on Dancing With The Stars that she and Erich were not in sync.

Nice job. Your fact-check includes an explanation, details that have been attributed to a source, source link and rating. Good work!
