Shayne Lamas is an American television personality and actress who rose to fame after winning Season 12 of the reality dating show The Bachelor in 2008. During the season finale, British financier Matt Grant proposed to Lamas, and the couple became briefly engaged. Her appearance on the show brought her into the spotlight, leading to additional television opportunities.
The engagement between Shayne Lamas and Matt Grant lasted only a few months. Early in the breakup phase, Lamas publicly denied rumors that Grant had moved out of her home. Reports later suggested that Grant had temporarily stayed at her residence to ease the transition. In July 2008, Lamas confirmed the end of their engagement, stating that although they attempted to make the relationship work, their lives were moving in different directions. She added that they hoped to remain friends.
Following the breakup, Lamas made headlines by revealing she planned to keep the engagement ring — a 2.85-carat diamond set in platinum. She claimed that Grant had no objections to this. Although their engagement only lasted a month, the couple had been living together during that time. Lamas emphasized that neither party had been unfaithful and insisted the decision to separate was mutual. Shortly after the news, she was seen enjoying a trip to Las Vegas, stating it was unrelated to the breakup and that she was embracing single life with friends. Despite the end of the engagement, she noted that marriage was still a possibility for her in the future — if she found the right person.
Matt Grant, for his part, remained largely silent about the reasons behind the split at first. However, he later expressed regret about the relationship. Grant stated in interviews that he felt manipulated and admitted to feeling pressure during the filming of the show. He shared that Lamas' comfort in front of the camera influenced his decision, acknowledging there was little real compatibility between them. Grant also admitted to being caught up in the reality TV atmosphere and suggested he had consumed alcohol heavily during filming, which clouded his judgment. He described the post-show experience as embarrassing and confirmed that he had no desire to continue the relationship after filming concluded.
After The Bachelor, Shayne Lamas pursued opportunities in modeling and television, gaining momentum in her entertainment career. In 2010, she married Nik Richie, founder of gossip website TheDirty.com. The couple has a daughter together. Despite the highly publicized nature of both her engagement and subsequent marriage, there are no credible reports suggesting divorce between Lamas and Richie.
