In response to recent concern stirred by husband Ryan Sutter’s cryptic Instagram posts, former Bachelorette Trista Sutter has confirmed that she is “safe and sound.”
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Trista posted a serene family photo from their beach vacation in Mexico, reassuring her followers of her well-being. “I’m happy and healthy, in love and grateful,” she wrote, addressing the swirling rumors about her marriage and personal life.
Ryan’s earlier posts had fans worried after he described Trista as “inaccessible” and “searching.” These ambiguous comments led to speculation about their relationship status, with some even fearing the worst. However, Trista clarified her absence, explaining it as a period of personal growth. “An opportunity for perspective and personal growth presented itself and with the unconditional support of my family and friends, I chose myself and betterment,” she shared, emphasizing that her family was in good hands during her brief hiatus.
Trista elaborated on Ryan’s intentions behind his heartfelt posts. “Ryan decided to share his love for me in messages that would find me in my travels,” she noted, appreciating the support and attention these messages garnered. “We look at Instagram like a digital diary. This time, he couldn’t say anything right and just about every news outlet picked up his ‘cryptic’ messages. But for me, they provided the affirmation I needed during a time of self-doubt and fear.”
Promising to share more details in the future, Trista’s message follows Ryan’s own clarifying statements. Last week, Ryan addressed the speculation, explaining that his message was intended for Trista during a time when she was temporarily out of reach. “She understood the context and so did I. No one else did, however, and that’s where things went sideways,” he wrote, noting the extreme reactions ranging from rumors of separation to death.
Ryan humorously reflected on the situation, revealing that he received concerned texts from friends and fans alike. “All because I missed my wife and chose to share how that felt,” he said. Trista joined in the humor, writing, “Geez people. Can’t a girl have a nervous breakdown/trial separation/midlife crisis/death/divorce in peace around here?!”
Earlier this month, Ryan had posted a heartfelt message expressing his longing for Trista during her absence. “I really wish I could talk to you. Ask you how you’re doing. I’d really like to hear your voice — just for a minute,” he wrote. Despite the temporary distance, he reassured her, “I’ll be here for you… I’ll be here to listen to you, to smile with you, maybe cry with you — I’ll be here to love you … I’ll be here … forever.”
In closing, Ryan confirmed that despite the temporary separation, everything was fine. “Trista is fine. We are fine. We’re great,” he affirmed, explaining that Trista is on a personal quest, supported by her family. “I miss her. We miss her.”
This heartfelt exchange between Trista and Ryan highlights their enduring bond and mutual support, offering fans a glimpse into their journey of growth and love.
