Failure at finding true love and a mass of shattered dreams lead to the suicide of Bachelor star Gia Allemand, her best friend claims in a new tell-all interview.

"All Gia ever wanted was to be loved, to have a husband and children," pal Melinda Farina told the National Enquirer in their latest issue.

"But every time she thought that she was close to her dreams, the eluded her."

As Breaking Celebrity News exclusively reported last week, Gia, 29, was upset that her NBA star boyfriend, Ryan Anderson, hadn't proposed to her yet — and Melinda echoed that sentiment telling the tabloid that the two were in the midst of a breakup just before her August 12 suicide attempt that left her on life support, which was pulled just two days later.
