In a lengthy joint statement to
‘At first we wanted to keep this out of the public eye (as publicly announcing the pain is sure to resurface), but it is becoming increasingly difficult to suppress. Yes, we’ve seen all the questions and extremely false accusations of our origin story and we’ve thought long and hard about whether we owe it to anyone to explain where we are while we heal because we understand how social media can expose the truth enlarge. or run far away with untruths.
“Ultimately, we decided to be open about it and do something about it, hoping to put an end to the question marks for the sake of our healing process. We have spent the past ten months trying to deal respectfully and privately with the fact that we are no longer in a relationship.
“While we still completely adore and respect each other, we are no longer a couple. There was no infidelity, toxic behavior or drama. We both just have some fundamental growth to do that is best done separately so that we can continue to be the best versions of ourselves for our daughter. It just didn’t work out and that’s okay.
“We still think of each other and bring love to every interaction with our family. We have an incredible daughter to raise for life and that is undoubtedly our number one priority forever. No amount of relationship status can take away or replace that fact.
“We are committed to the inner work and trust that God will place us both where we belong in due time. To all our supporters, friends and family: thank you for your love, care and concern. Please give us the peace and space to maintain a safe and happy environment so that we can continue to co-parent Hazel as best we can!
“We intend to remain a family regardless of our public title, so if you see us with Hazel, please be understanding and kind. We appreciate you all for listening to us and hope we are kept in your well-intentioned prayers. Thank you.’
