The latest reality television matched-up pseudo-celebrity couple has managed to call it quits within record time of their Season Finale: The Bachelor's Dr. Travis Stork and the selected Sarah Stone have dumped the last ashes of their love off of the Eiffel Tower.

Stork, an emergency room physician, chose Stone, an elementary school teacher, in the finale of ABC's "The Bachelor: Paris" last week.

The couple told The Tennessean in a joint interview Monday they are no longer a couple.

Stork, 33, said the rules that prohibited them from dating or being together in public between the end of the show's taping in November and the Feb. 27 finale were hard on their relationship.

Apparently, fake television relationships don't survive the time it takes for the network to finish out the series, or it just so happens that when you get away from the cameras and into the light of day, being one of 25 women making out with a sort-of attractive doctor just doesn't spell L-O-V-E.

"The reality is that we were in this fantasy world. And now that we're back in Nashville, over time when you're not allowed to see someone, you grow apart."

Stone, 26, said, "I definitely think it would've worked out differently" if she and Stork had met and dated under different circumstances.

"We wouldn't have had all the baggage that comes from being on this show. It would just be the two of us being able to hang out and get to know each other in a normal situation," she said.

At least they'll always have Paris. Sort of like how Carrie and that Russian artist guy had Paris on Sex and the City.

Luckily, however, it seems Nicole Ritchie has (possibly) forgiven and taken back the erstwhile DJ AM, as they proudly expressed by running into each others arms as they met on the street in New York, her impossibly ugly footless tights straining their very nylon fibers with love for his awful mid-80s ironically tie-dyed tee.

You know, this may be a happy ending for both couples. Nicole Ritchie has found her Prince Charming in impressively blue suede sneakers, and the world is spared a second run at Trista "Bridezilla" Wrens and Ryan Sutters overly-sappy reality nuptials.

Ah, the Universe is in balance.
