Vanessa Grimaldi is still mending her broken heart after her split from Nick Viall.

On Monday, "The Bachelor" Season 21 winner took to Instagram to express her emotional state. Vanessa shared a photo of her leaning on her friend's shoulder. In the snapshot, the two women are seated facing a pond.

"It's okay to feel broken. It's okay to cry. It's okay to lean on a friend. In the end, it will always be okay," she wrote in the caption. E! News noted that her ex Nick liked her post.

Vanessa and Nick announced their split on Friday. In a joint statement, the exes told People that they were parting ways. "It's with a great amount of heartbreak for the both us as we have decided to end our engagement," the pair wrote. "We gave this relationship our all and we are saddened that we did not get the fairytale ending we hoped for. We will continue to be there for each other no matter what. This hasn't been an easy decision, however, as we part ways, we do so with lots of love and admiration for each other."

Nick and Vanessa's split was not a surprise to the people surrounding them. In fact, their friends already knew that their relationship was doomed.

"Their friends knew the relationship wouldn't last," a source told People. "It was a mismatch from the start. She's super fun, bubbly and outgoing and he's more of a serious personality and more introverted. She would try to bring him out of his shell, but he's just not as comfortable in big groups."

Also, prior to their breakup, "The Bachelor" couple had been plagued with split rumors for months. Nick and Vanessa attended Evan Bass and Carly Waddell's wedding in June. However, after attending the love-filled ceremony, the pair was reportedly not okay during their flight back to Los Angeles, which prompted the reports that their relationship was on the verge of a split.

An eyewitness claimed that "they didn't exchange five words the entire flight" and "were angled completely away from each other." When they reached the airport, Nick reportedly grabbed his bag and left his then-girlfriend Vanessa alone.
