shocking breakup, Kirkconnell, 28, appeared on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast and revealed what went wrong for the pair.“He said that at the end of the day, there were just qualities about me that he worries about having in a wife,” Kirkconnell explained on Tuesday’s episode. “[He said] there are things that we aren’t compatible with and the whole accountability and saying sorry and all that was really the main thing.”She continued, “It was just one of those things where he had this realization that ‘I should want to propose to you by this time.

Like, at this point in our relationship, I should be wanting those things and I should be ready for that. But I’m not still, I still don’t feel like we’re ready or I don’t feel like I’m ready.

I don’t know if I ever see myself proposing to you. I can’t actually see myself married to you.’”Kirkconnell got emotional as she recalled what she told James, 33, in response.“I said, ‘Well, I feel like after four years you should know or you should feel ready,’” she told Cooper, 30. “‘We probably shouldn’t be together if you don’t feel like that after four years because you know me better than anyone.

I know you better than anyone, so you should know by now if you see this for the long haul or not.’”The former couple were in Tokyo when they broke up.
