Ryan Sutter recognizes that he caused a stir on social media when he was posting about his absent wife Trista Sutter.Ryan, who fell in love with Trista on the first season of “The Bachelorette” in 2003, appeared on former host Chris Harrison’s“The intent is not to be like, ‘Hey, I’m gonna throw this out here and make people wonder if my wife’s alive,’ ” he said on “Most Dramatic Podcast Ever.” “You know, that’s not what I’m going after here.
Ryan continued: “I’ll go months without a post, and then suddenly I’ll get, like, in a mood, and I’ll send something. And this was a particular thing that Trista was doing, and it was the end of the school year. It’s been kind of a long year for us, moving and lots of things going on.”Poor Jennifer Garner continues to have to tend to her bratty fourth child — Ben Affleck“So, whatever the culmination of all that happened, and I was in that sort of place, so I sent that out.
“I really wish I could talk to you,” Ryan wrote on Mother’s Day. “I want to know how you’re doing. I want to support and encourage and cheer you on. I want to be there for you. But I can’t.”When Trista returned to social media during Memorial Day Weekend, she joked about having “a nervous breakdown” and defended her husband for posting what he did.
“He doesn’t owe anyone any explanation or require permission to post what he wants to post and share what he wants to share. If you want to know the rest of the story, I will share in due time,” Trista said.“Honestly, the intent was Trista wasn’t gonna be able to have access to social media until she got finished with this experience she was on,” the firefighter said.
