JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers are reportedly no longer a romantic couple but rather only business partners looking to benefit financially from their post-The Bachelorette relationship.

"JoJo has accepted that she hasn't found her Prince Charming in Jordan," a source told Life & Style. "She's told him that he was a complete disappointment and that she regrets ever giving him her heart."
"They've agreed to stay together for at least a year and transform their relationship into a business deal," the source added. "Endorsement deals are already coming their way, and JoJo and Jordan are going to milk them while they can."
The Life & Style source's claims mimic those of franchise villain Chad Johnson, who told Extra earlier this month he believes the only thing keeping Fletcher and her new fiance together is money.
"We'll see how long that lasts," Johnson said of the couple's relationship. "It will last until the money dies off, then it will fizzle out."
JJ Lane -- who competed for Kaitlyn Bristowe on The Bachelorette and then appeared on Season 2 of Bachelor in Paradise -- discussed the idea of couples in The Bachelor franchise staying together for financial reasons when talking with Reality TV World earlier this year.
"I don't think it's a sham to say, or a misquote to say, that I think some of these couples are together because it's monetarily beneficial," Lane said in May, although he was not referring to Fletcher and Rodgers' relationship.
"And I don't think that's a bad thing, right? I mean, when I say that, that's not supposed to be a negative thing. I think that's actually true."
Lane then elaborated on why he doesn't believe such a financial agreement speaks badly of the individuals.
"I would do the exact same thing if I was in that spot, right?" Lane admitted to Reality TV World. "You can maximize, maybe make a couple million dollars, off of being 'in like' with somebody. Like, who wouldn't right? I'm not going to turn down the money!"
Fletcher and Rodgers just went public with their engagement last week after The Bachelorette's twelfth-season finale aired on ABC.
Fletcher admitted on the show's After the Final Rose special the couple has been through some really rocky times in the last several months, especially since Rodgers has been slammed in the press for allegedly pursuing fame and a better career as well as cheating on an ex-girlfriend.
