Amanda Stanton's ex-husband Nick Buonfiglio claims her engagement to Bachelor in Paradise co-star Josh Murray is in trouble.

Buonfiglio says Stanton -- the mother of his two young daughters -- has had enough of Murray's alleged manipulative behavior and financial issues, according to In Touch Weekly, and it's only a matter of time the couple splits.

Buonfiglio and Stanton allegedly discussed the matter over lunch at The Cheesecake Factory with their little girls Kinsley and Charlie on September 2, when Murray was in Canada.

"Our entire conversation was her talking about [her] relationship [with Josh] and how it's not going as planned and he's turning out to be the person that everybody knew he was," Buonfiglio told the magazine. "She bagged on him for 30 or 40 minutes."

For starters, 29-year-old Buonfiglio claimed, "Amanda told me Josh doesn't pay any rent," adding that the rent is $4,000 per month. Murray, 32, moved into Stanton's apartment in July after the couple got engaged in June while filming the finale of Bachelor in Paradise 3.

Stanton also allegedly told Buonfiglio that she shells out $270 a week to have the apartment cleaned when Murray is the one who's untidy. 

"She doesn't like living with him because he's super messy," Buonfiglio said, "and there's hair everywhere [from Josh's bulldog, Sabel]. But Josh doesn't help with that, either."

Despite Buonfiglio's claims, a representative for Murray insists Sabel does not shed and the former pro baseball player has worked out a financial agreement with Stanton in which she pays the rent but he takes care of the housekeeper, utilities, groceries, plane tickets and dinners.

When In Touch asked Stanton to comment on the story, she detailed her financial arrangement with Murray differently.

"Before [Josh] moved in, we agreed on the arrangement of rent, bills, groceries, etc., being paid between us," Stanton said, which contradicts the statement Murray's representative had made. "But when we go out, Josh is old-fashioned and doesn't let me pay for anything."

Stanton also denied all of Buonfiglio's claims, insisting, "Any information you receive from Nick is false. Josh and I have been great."

Late Tuesday night, Stanton also posted a cute photo of herself with Murray on Instagram with the following caption: "I think I'll keep him..."

Buonfiglio recently filed paperwork to take Stanton back to court in a custody and child-support battle considering her new lifestyle has drastically changed since becoming a reality TV star.

Their divorce was finalized in Summer 2015.
