Nathan replied that she loved him more than anything in the world. Nathan also told her that he missed her, to which she replied, "love and miss you too."

Amber Glenn and Nathan Chen's relationship ended by 2017. Well, the pair was known for displaying their affection in public, and by 2017, it was said they had stopped sharing posts about one another. It was in February 2018 that reports claimed Glenn was Chen's ex-lover. Both of them stopped posting snaps together in 2017. Redditors were puzzled about why they both broke up, as one had said:

"What happened to them? It’s very clear from deleted social media posts and sudden silence on both their parts that they broke up. Remember when they used to tweet about each other every other day? Lmao. People would tell them to get a room. Any inside info? I’m nosy."

A confused user had also stated that this was very blunt, but winning a US lady’s championship (senior or junior) doesn’t mean much these days. The rest of the world is just so much better. Amber was the best junior in the US at that time, but she’s not competitive outside of the US.

A Redditor contemplating over why Amber and Nathan broke up wrote, "I don't know. It's really none of our business. In addition, both of them train at different locations, so I guess that's probably the reason why they broke up."

The ex-couple never mentioned the exact reason they broke up. There were rumors that Nathan and Amber used to have disagreements apart from professional pressure. They may also have had a personal issue, so the exact reason for their separation may never be known.
