The former couple have "remained friends," according to the Us source.
It's unclear how Hannah G. and Chris met and the exact time of year they decided to part ways, but comments from Chris on Hannah G.'s Instagram account date back to April 2018.
Five months later, Colton's season of The Bachelor began filming, so Hannah G. was obviously single by September 2018.
"Chris is happy Hannah is doing well on the show," the source told the magazine. "She is a nice person and he wishes her well."
When Kaitlyn's The Bachelorette season aired in 2015, Chris memorably broke down into tears when Kaitlyn eliminated him during their one-on-one date in Dublin. Kaitlyn had dramatically left him on the top of a cliff.

Fans subsequently mocked Chris for the emotional scene in which he was sobbing into his scarf, but Kaitlyn later defended the dentist, saying he's one of a kind.
As for Hannah G., she has been receiving rose after rose on Season 23 of The Bachelor this year, including Colton's coveted First Impression Rose.
While the blonde beauty has yet to accompany Colton on a one-on-one date, the pair have apparent chemistry and Colton seems smitten with her every time they spend a moment together alone.
During a group date in Singapore, in fact, Hannah G. and Colton had a steamy makeout session in the bed of his hotel room, rolling on top of one another.

Based on their interactions so far, it would be surprising if Hannah G. gets sent home any time soon on The Bachelor.
