While talking to co-hosts Kathy Swarts and Susan Noles about his love life, CK admitted that he and Monica have officially split.
"I'm an open book. Kathy, you probably know more than anyone else with respect to where my mind set was about 10 months ago. Because I told you that if four criterias were met with respect to Monica B., that there would probably be a Golden wedding in the spring of 2026," CK explained.
CK said he truly thought that Monica was going to be his bride one day.
"You tried to talk me off that ledge, but I was defiant, like, 'It's going to happen. There's going to be a Golden wedding in 2026,'" CK told Kathy.
"And unfortunately, not only is it not a wedding in 2026 of this spring, but Monica B. and I have broken up as of, I think, January of 2026. So that's where that is."
CK acknowledged that he and Monica -- who competed for Mel Owens' heart on The Golden Bachelor's second season -- "don't talk very much" anymore.
"We did speak over the last week or so with respect to her grandson and my willingness to help," CK revealed.
CK shared that he still feels "responsible to help" her family out in some ways.
As for why things didn't work out, CK said the pair's "goals and values weren't aligned."
"In all fairness, I tried to align myself with where she was," he admitted.
"I tried, but it just doesn't work for me because as much as she wants what she wants, I felt like it was important for me to get what I want. And that's important as well."

"Like, I can feel one way, but my future's really important. Now you might say, 'CK, what the hell, you're going to be 64 in December,' but I feel like my future's bright. I've got a lot of living to do," CK noted.
The Golden Bachelorette alum also insisted that he has "no problem committing to a woman up to -- and including -- marriage."
"It's not a fear of mine," he said. "My experience on [Joan Vassos]' The Golden Bachelorette season taught me so much about myself."
CK continued, "I learned coming off the show that I wasn't as vulnerable as I needed to be. I kept people at arm's length... I was 12 years divorced, and I was still holding onto that."
But CK clarified that he's been "in a really, really good place" for the last six months or so.
Last year, The Golden Bachelor alum Sandra Mason revealed that Monica and Charles had "found love" with each other.
Before CK got involved with Monica, he seemed to have a romantic spark with Sandra.
