The two shared the sad news back in September, in a statement which read: "Despite a deep love and respect for one another, we have realized that our current paths have taken us in opposite directions.
"We have both shared so much of our journey publicly so while we would prefer to keep this aspect of our personal life private, we wanted to be forthcoming in our truth together. There is no anger or animosity, quite the contrary."
