Joe Amabile Reveals The Current Status of His Releationship With Ex Kendall Long

Despite breaking up back in January, Joe Amabile and Kendall Long are still very close.

The Bachelor in Paradise couple called it quits after two years together while coming to the realization that their long distance relationship was too much for the moment.

However, Joe opened up to US Weekly about the current state of their relationship and it turns out that he and Kendall are still in contact.

“We remained close friends and we probably always will, I think,” he shared. “She’s from L.A. and I’m from Chicago, so it just became too big of a hurdle at this time in our lives, but we remain close. We still talk almost every day.”

Joe also commented on that maybe reunion fans spotted earlier this month, where they were seen “sharing a meal” of sushi on their Instagram Stories.

“I don’t know what people were talking about. I guess we’ll just leave that up to what people think,” he shared, playing coy about it. “I can’t say I was in L.A., can’t say that I wasn’t. That’s all I can tell you. … L.A.’s a great city so we’ll see. But right now at this time in my life, being here [in Chicago] definitely makes the most sense.”

Bachelor in Paradise's Joe Amabile & Kendall Long Split

Bachelor in Paradise couple Joe Amabile and Kendall Long have called it quits after they started dating during season five.

“We have decided mutually to go our separate ways. Joe has made the decision to move back to Chicago while Kendall will be remaining in her hometown of Los Angeles,” Kendall, 27, and Joe, 33, said in a statement to Bachelor Nation. “Our family and friends have always been an extremely important element to who we are as people. We can’t imagine continuing our lives without them closer, especially when thinking of starting a family of our own one day. We both respect each others’ decision and still have a great deal of love for each other. We appreciate all the love and support everyone has given us throughout our relationship.”

It’s unclear when the split happened, but Joe posted a photo of them together earlier this month.
