Even some of Larissa Dos Santos Lima‘s 90 Day Fiancé costars were shocked to hear that she had broken up with her boyfriend, Eric Nichols, after an eight-month romance. As it turns out, though, nobody was more shocked than Eric himself. Just two days after his ex shared the news on social media, he revealed that he’d heard about his breakup the same way that everyone else did — through Instagram. Actually, he technically first heard that he was single from his mom, who’d seen Larissa’s posts before he had. Check out the gallery below to get the full story on Eric and Larissa’s split.

Larissa Dos Santos Lima Ex Eric Dumped Him Instagram

Whirlwind

Larissa, 33, started seeing Eric just one month after her ex-husband, Colt Johnson, filed for divorce. Eric was the first man she dated after her breakup.

Moving On

The two met just two weeks after Larissa joined Tinder, and they moved quickly. Before long, they were posting PDA pictures on Instagram and gushing about their relationship in the media.

Tight Turnaround

As it turns out, though, it may have been moving so quickly that doomed their relationship. When the Brazilian beauty revealed their split on Instagram, she said she hadn’t healed yet from her divorce.

Old Wounds

“After eight months of being Erickee’s girlfriend, I have to tell my followers that we have decided to break up and go our separate [ways],” she wrote in the post. “I try to heal one painful breakup by jumping in [a] relationship with Erickee, but I know now I need to work on me and focus on my healing of my scars.”

No Shade

“There [are] no hard feelings or regrettees, but I need to look in my own soul and focus on being the best Larissa I can be,” she told fans. “I [am] not sure what will come [in] the future, but I am excited for it. I look forward to this time in my life as a reflection on my own personal dreamees and goals I set to do. Thank you for all your love, strength and support [for] me always.”

Two Sides

While that may be true, Eric is suggested that the breakup wasn’t as mutual as it sounds. In fact, he’s claiming that he got majorly dumped by the star. Like Larissa, he used Instagram to speak out.

Hard Feelings

First, he posted a screenshot of his own profile on his Instagram Story, showing fans that he had temporarily changed his bio to read, “Dumped by a girl on 9/11? [Through a post? My mother saw [to] call to tell me about it?”

His Story

On Friday, September 13, he got even further into the details, suggesting that there was also another reason Larissa broke up with him that had to do with a trip they’d planned to Colorado.

Plane Tickets

Sharing a screenshot of his flight itinerary, he wrote, “This is the final reasoning why my most recent [ex] lost her cool and made an abrupt, rash decision to break up, which is A-OK with me.”

Lashing Out

“After posting [that photo] to my story, she DM’d me via Instagram very upset, accusing me that I didn’t invite her, so on and so forth.” However, he claimed that Larissa had known about it.

Receipts

“If most fans remember, she herself had been sharing excitement in her stories over the upcoming Colorado trip for the past couple months,” he pointed out. “[She] was literally talking with one of my brothers about it THE NIGHT BEFORE.”

Posting Proof

Screengrabs of the Instagram conversation showed Larissa chatting with Eric’s brother Jesse about the visit. In one, Larissa claimed that she “can’t wait” to meet the brothers’ “super mom.”

Mama Bear

“When I had put my phone down to shower and show my house to a future tenant, I got a call from my mother about an hour later asking, ‘Are you doing OK?'” he continued. “She said, ‘I saw a post from :&@:% on FB that you’re parting ways.'”

'90 Day Fiance' Star Larissa's New Boyfriend May Not Be as 'Genuine' as He Seems

Unbothered

“I didn’t think much of it and said, ‘I’m not sure, I haven’t seen it yet, but will soon. We’ll be okay, these arguments happen between us often,’ like when she archives our photos from Instagram when she’s upset,” he explained.

“[I continued] my conversation with [my] mother, ‘Debbie/Duke,’ for another 20-30 minutes, not realizing when we got off the phone, I’d be going back to my DM’s to find multiple messages from my [ex] stating a finalized break up on her ‘now’ terms,” he shared. “From there, I realized I was blocked and the apology DM’s were already packed.”

Kind Words

“Here’s the thing,” he finished. “[There were] lots of fabrication, secrets, stress, endless arguments and hoops that turned into spirals, but there were some high level times.” Ultimately, it seems, as Larissa said, there aren’t any hard feelings.

Wishing Well

“I don’t wish this girl good luck or bad luck, I just wish her a new boyfriend … or husband. In the history of an eight-month ordeal, I am appreciative of certain outcomes,” he finished. “All in all, I do want to give a big shout out to the haters who are instigator traders that balance out the positives. Lastly, I want to give a monstrous THANK YOU TO ALL supportive friends who follow with love & synergy! ❤️”
