After four years of marriage,The ChallengealumSarah Riceis calling it quits with her husband Landon Patterson.
“You guys are probably like, ‘Where’s Landon?’ and, ‘She hasn’t been talking about him,'” Rice continued. “And that’s because we’re gonna get a divorce, or we’re getting one. Going through the whole process.”
The reality star went on to say that two people can “be really good, but not a good fit.”
“You gotta, like, follow what your soul says is your path,” she told her podcast co-host.
“It felt like every day I was moving a little bit a little bit away from… who I am,” she said, adding that a recent road trip gave her time to contemplate her marriage.
“I was like, I just have to tell him that I love him, but I’m just not in love with him,” she continued. “It’s real hard to do.”
“It’s kind of like a palm tree and an oak tree,” Rice explained. “Like they’re both strong trees, but if you put them next to each other, one’s not going to survive.”
The pair experienced heartbreak earlier in 2018 after Rice suffered a miscarriage.

Rice said it was Patterson who helped her identify her emotions.
“I think for the first time in my entire life, I felt sorrow. I had felt grief before. I felt loss,” she said. “Landon was the one who said … you felt grief, this is sorrow. You can’t explain it away.”
In a now-deleted Instagram post about the miscarriage, Rice said she wants to let other women who go through the same thing know that they are not alone.
“This last month was a tough one,” she wrote in the caption of a photo of herself with Patterson. “@iatewhat and I had some big plans and then all of a sudden things changed, as they often do. In the latest episode of the @braincandypodcast, I share our story. It wasn’t easy, but I hope it lets other women out there know they are not alone.💕💕💕💕”
Rice recently completed her master’s degree in marriage and family therapy.
