After Wednesday’s announcement of a third Rock of Love season, we were curious about how Bret’s breakup with Ambre went down. So, we called her up to ask her about why things didn’t work out. Did they see each other enough? Is Bret afraid of commitment? Is it just that finding love on reality TV is impossible? Ambre shares some insight (and zero resentment!) below…
So, how are you doing?
I’m good. I am. I’m sad, of course, about the breakup. But I’m happy for Bret about this next stage in his life.
Was the breakup something that happened gradually?
Yeah. It led up to one big conversation. He is so busy on tour, and I am so busy with work and my life that we didn’t have a lot of time to dedicate to a relationship. Unfortunately, when you don’t have a lot of time, it just makes it hard for a relationship to work.
How often did you see each other between the Rock of Love 2 reunion and when you called it off?
A couple of times a month. He was wonderful in that if he was anywhere near Chicago, he’d call and come through and see me.
You did some shows with him, too.
Yes. And we’re still friends. I support this decision wholeheartedly. He supports me personally and professionally, so I hope I am able to attend shows in the future.
Was there a specific point that you realized that this wasn’t working out?
It wasn’t one certain thing. It was just time.
From the time that Bret picked Jes over Heather on the first season, or even earlier, people have wondered if Bret is afraid of commitment. Is he?
Absolutely not. He doesn’t have an aversion to intimacy at all. The great thing about my relationship with him was that it was honest and true. We developed it and had great chemistry. It was hard. We were out there for everyone to watch, which we totally signed up for. But in the dating world, you date people. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. We gave it an honest effort and it’s not anyone’s fault. It’s not his aversion to anything. Hopefully next time will work for him.
At this point, a lot of people are wondering how he’s going to find love if he didn’t the first two times. If it didn’t work with someone like you, who understands entertainment-industry schedules, who will it work with?
I don’t know! And I think he doesn’t know either, and that’s the wonderful thing about it.
Cynics from the start said that it would never work between you and Bret. Does it suck that they were ultimately right?
There are a lot of reality shows, and as soon as you get so many of them out of the made-for-TV situation, it’s over. Bret and I have been dating since last year. For nine or ten months, and we really, really put all of our effort, emotion and everything we had into this. I think that’s what sets us apart — we were really true to that.
You said on the show that you were in love with the Bret. Looking back, were you or were you just caught up in the moment?
Yes, I was in love with him.I can say that with all my heart. Without a doubt. Absolutely.
Are you still in love with him?
I will always love him, yes. This wasn’t an easy decision for us, and we really had to think about it. Once you make a decision like this, there’s no turning back. I’m sad about it. But you have to move forward.
Are you going to watch next season?
Absolutely. I hope he calls me for advice. I’m there for him. Bret and I have always had a great friendship, and we still do. That’s something I’ll treasure forever.
Does your friendship make the breakup easier? Because it seems like you’re coping with it well.
Well, I’ve had some time to mull it over. You guys are just now hearing about it. I’ve dealt with the emotions and sadness. I’m not going to say I bounced back completely, because like with anything, it takes time. But it is a little easier at this point for me.
Has this situation altered your view on reality TV? Would you use it as a vehicle for finding love again?
Reality TV gets such a bad rap. It changed my life forever and for the better. I learned and I grew. I grew physically, emotionally, spiritually. I’ll never be the same. The wonderful thing about being in this reality world is that it allowed me to focus on me and focus on what I want in a man. Would I use this again to find love? Absolutely.
Have you heard from any of your Celebreality peers since the announcement of Rock of Love Bus?
Yeah. I was with Jessica all day Wednesday. Heather reached out. Inna. A lot of the girls. I feel really fortunate to have made so many friends from the show. In a way, we’re all a big family and I love them all.
What’s coming up for you on the career front?
A lot of things. Little projects, and I’m in a lot of talks. My life was so involved with Rock of Love for so long that I’m transitioning to the next stage. Stay tuned to my MySpace. When I can disclose things, I will. And I want to thank my fans for being so very supportive and wonderful during this. It’s a difficult time for Bret and I, but it’s an exciting time as well. I really appreciate the kind words and unwavering support.
Keep up with Ambre via her MySpace and her homepage.
