Why did Becca Haley and Austin Reed split?

Becca Haley parted ways from Austin Reed after he was spotted hanging out with 'MAFS' Season 17 producer and lied about their outing. Becca was devastated after she found out about Austin's night out and told the cameras, "All I thought was Austin and I wanted was to be done with the cameras, to be done with production... [it’s] funny, he's so worried about optics."

However, the Lifetime show cast gathered for a post-decision day pizza party where Becca confronted Austin and asked, "Did you come into this experience for a friendship with a producer or a marriage with me?" Austin denied the accusation and claimed that he had run into the female producer at the bar while hanging out with a group of friends.

Becca made clear that she would not tolerate any lie and said, "You didn't run into them, Austin." Becca added, "I'm not a f****g dumb b***h." After Becca's furious confrontation, Austin finally admitted that he was with the producer but didn't want to hurt her.
