"I know [my divorce] may seem sudden to people, but when I was doing Bachelor Mansion Takeover, I look at the video and I had so much stress. I'm 43 now and my face was puffy -- the cortisol levels. That was stressful," Courtney recalled during the Saturday, August 8 episode of the "I Do, Part 2" podcast.
"I was brokenhearted," she added.

Courtney said that while Humberto agreed to take care of the kids while she was gone, she received "no support" from him emotionally.

Courtney -- who had hoped for a "knock 'em dead" text once in a while -- claimed that Humberto didn't even send her a "good morning text" most days.
"He wanted me to do it; it was a money-making opportunity," Courtney recalled of the HGTV reality competition series that featured The Bachelor and The Bachelorette alums competing in design challenges to renovate the Bachelor mansion.
"It was great experience for me, but obviously I touched on infidelity, and I've talked about it pretty openly. But he was on my cell phone plan and it was four or five days into filming and -- I shouldn't have done it, but I looked on my phone plan."
Courtney said she found something that completely "shattered" her heart and spirit when she was supposed to be focusing on transforming The Bachelor mansion in California.
"One of the girls -- because there were many -- was texting late at night once the kids went down [for bed]," Courtney alleged.

Bachelor Mansion Takeover filmed in 2025 and premiered in March 2026 on HGTV.
"Do you realize the level of betrayal?" asked Courtney.
Courtney and Humberto are parents of son Joaquin Ramon, 6, daughter Paloma Ruby, 4, and son Gabriel Ricardo, 2.
"My kids are the greatest loves of my life, and my priority is keeping them safe. The hardest part has been co-parenting, and I'm learning that on the fly. No one writes a manual for divorce," Courtney lamented.

Courtney said she's felt the need to talk about her divorce publicly because "it's the worst thing" she's "ever gone through," apart from losing her late mother.
"I have anxiety because I know what I'm going to go home to, and it's stressful," she noted.
Courtney said she still continues to have days when she's "really sad" because Humberto was her "best friend" and she no longer has that support from him.
"There's so much I want to say, but it's also really scary to talk about," she acknowledged.
She continued, "This level of betrayal -- it's not like he got drunk at a Christmas party and hooked up with one person. It's been the whole time, and I've been with him for close to eight years."

Courtney was audibly holding back tears during her interview, and she concluded, "If it was one affair, I probably could've gotten over it. I wake up every day to a nightmare."
Courtney announced that she's divorcing Humberto after nearly six years of marriage in July.
"After learning information that irreparably damaged the trust in our marriage, I made the difficult decision to file for divorce," Courtney told People in a statement at the time.
"This has been one of the hardest seasons of my life, and as I continue to process everything, my focus remains on my three beautiful children. They are, and always will be, my highest priority."
Courtney, who competed for Ben Flajnik's heart on The Bachelor's sixteenth season, gave birth to Joaquin Ramon in June 2020.
The pair then welcomed their second child, Paloma, in late November 2021. Gabriel was later born in April 2024.
"While this isn't the future I envisioned for our family, I believe choosing peace and a healthy, stable environment for my children is the right path forward. I remain committed to co-parenting with kindness and respect," Courtney continued in her July statement.
"I kindly ask for privacy as we navigate this next chapter, especially for the sake of our children. I'm grateful for the love and support I've received and am taking things one day at a time."

The Bachelor alum reportedly met Humberto -- an Arizona attorney who lived six blocks away from her -- in 2019 when he liked some of her Instagram posts, which resulted in Courtney sending him a DM.
After a little small talk, the pair went out on a date a couple of days later.

Courtney and Humberto moved in together in July 2019 and then announced they were engaged and expecting their first child together in December 2019.
"When I met Humberto, it was a no-brainer. I know this is meant to be," Courtney previously told People.
"Before I met Humberto I was about to lose hope. I was giving up on dating. But I'm so glad I waited. Humberto feels like home to me. And I know I finally met the right one."
Courtney and Humberto got married in October 2020 during an intimate ceremony in Sedona, AZ.
When Courtney appeared on The Bachelor, she accepted a marriage proposal from Ben on Season 16 during its March 2012 finale, but they called off their engagement that October.
Courtney began dating former pro racing driver Arie Luyendyk Jr. only days after she called off her engagement from Ben.
Although the romance didn't last long, Courtney revealed in February 2016 that she still liked to make out with Arie "from time to time." Arie was also Courtney's landlord and the pair occasionally worked in real estate together in Scottsdale, AZ.
The pair's dynamic confused fans for years, but both Arie and Courtney had insisted their relationship was completely innocent and platonic.
Arie went on to become The Bachelor's Season 22 star, six years after his stint on Emily Maynard's season of The Bachelorette.
Arie got engaged to Becca Kufrin during the finale, but he ended up with his runner-up Lauren Burnham after a roller-coaster journey on the show. Lauren and Arie are now married with four children.
