Joe Millionaire’s Kurt Sowers & Amanda Pace: A Fairytale Romance Cut Short

In the shocking season finale of Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer, Amanda Pace captured the heart of not-so-millionaire Kurt Sowers.

But, sadly, their fairy-tale romance was very short-lived. Amanda, came from a very wealthy family herself. So, she was not bothered by Kurt Sowers’ lack of riches.

However, it seems that the spark between the couple went out almost as quickly as it ignited. On the Reality Steve podcast, Amanda opened up about the real reason their relationship came to an end.

Why Did Kurt & Amanda Break Up?

Amanda Pace said she knew what she wanted in a partner and felt that Kurt was not emotionally available.

She believes that the pressure of the show contributed to Kurt feeling overwhelmed. And that they were not able to maintain the same connection they had during the show.

According to TMZ, an insider close to Kurt and Amanda, the two ended their relationship in December, soon after the show finished filming. This was before Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer even aired its first episode.

The source also said that there was no specific cause for the split, but rather, the two came to the realization that their relationship wasn’t going to work out.

Kurt’s not being a millionaire, did not play a role in their break-up decision, according to their friends. Amanda Pace was not the only woman on the show that caught Kurt’s eye.

Most viewers thought he would wind up with Carolyn Moore, but he also wanted to be with Calah Jackson. However, at the last minute, Calah broke things off with Kurt and decided that Steven was her pick.

Love Nest Alert: Joe Millionaire’s Steven Mcbee and Calah Jackson Living Together

On Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer, Steven McBee (the real millionaire) picked Calah Jackson to be his partner. Calah had a tough time letting her guard down.

Many fans thought it was because Steven was also in a flourishing relationship with Annie Jorgensen. But, since leaving the Joe Millionaire mansion, Steven was able to break through Calah’s walls.

Today, the couple is still going strong. Calah Jackson recently moved to Missouri, and Steven McBee shared that the two have just bought a second home in Kansas City. They will split time between Kansas City and Steve’s farmhouse in Gallatin, Missouri.

She said the lease on her Dallas, Texas apartment was up and she said “it just felt right” to be closer to her new boyfriend.

According to TV Insider, Steven said that their relationship has grown by leaps since Joe Millionaire ended. But he admits they did struggle to keep their relationship hidden while the show was airing.

Steven McBee said that the fact that they were not able to post about each other or go out in public made it difficult for them. He also said that both he and Calah are people who take things slow and don’t rush into relationships.

After the show, they both knew they had a great connection. Steve said he wanted to see how that would work in the real world, and it worked better than they could have imagined.

While the couple is still taking things slow, McBee shared that it was important to both of them that they not keep their relationship long-distance. With Calah and Steven now living under the same roof, things could not be going better.

But, the Real Winner Is…

The season of Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer brought us not only love stories, but also a bromance between Steven McBee and Kurt Sowers.

The two guys bonded on the Fox show and have remained close friends since.

Though their romantic relationships had some ups and downs, the bromance between Kurt and Steven has stood the test of time.
