We know it’s hard to say goodbye, but Jake Pavelka and his fiancee, Vienna Girardi, may be taking his Dancing with the Stars elimination a little hard.

The future spouses didn’t cope so well after The Bachelor star was sent packing last night, a fitting result after he stumbled during his samba Monday.

Before the show even aired, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi reportedly huddled together, held hands and prayed. Sadly, God did not come through.

When his name was called, he and Girardi looked devastated. Pavelka mouthed to her, “It’s OK.” But it really wasn’t. He soon broke down in tears.

After Pavelka cried through his farewell speech, he eventually made his way over to his fiancee, whom he called “beautiful” in his closing remarks.

WOMEN OF JAKE PAVELKA: Vienna Girardi was not pleased at his elimination from Dancing with the Stars Tuesday, when he and partner Chelsie Hightower got axed.

The two looked absolutely “miserable, depressed and inconsolable” as they hugged and chatted when the DWTS cameras went off, witnesses say.

Deena Katz, the head producer/director, even walked over to comfort Jake Pavelka. Even that was not enough to comfort the downtrodden pilot.

“Well guys, I did everything I could,” he Twittered later that night. “Layed [sic] it all out there on the dance floor. I’m pretty bumbed [sic]… :(“

Profound.

Interestingly, Pavelka and his pro partner, Chelsie Hightower, parted ways immediately after cameras stopped rolling, hardly appearing like the best friend Pavelka gushed about on stage. Hmm. Perhaps V was getting a little jealous?
