"6 years is a long time to be with someone, so I’m a little shocked, but … I’m not here to explain why because it's honestly nobody’s business. I couldn’t take the pain anymore, honestly, and in some telepathic way I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends, and I thank you! I’ve been playing it strong for way too long, and my Instagram may seem perfect, but it’s far from reality, and I think we all know that."
