While they did not give a reason for their split, taking to Twitter later on, Iyanna rubbished the rumors that she had not been faithful to her spouse.
Replying to a fan who said that they had heard reports that Iyanna had been cheating on Jarrette, she wrote: "Confirmed: we are divorcing. But idk where in the hell that narrative came from."

After another fan wrote: "Ouch!!! This is sad! I've seen some pics of them on IG, they seemed happy!!!" she revealed that the real reason why the pair have decided to call time on their relationship after just over a year.
"We were," she wrote, followed by a crying face emoji, "But our lives are moving in such different directions. I wish love was enough for marriage but we realized the hard way it isn't."
Out of the six couples who appeared in the second season of the reality show, hosted by Nick Lachey and with Vanessa Lachey, only one other couple besides Iyanna and Jarrette managed to make it to the altar.
However, as fans will know, their course of love did not run as smoothly as it could have done. Iyanna was not Jarrette's first choice in the pods, with the 32-year-old project manager first proposing to Mallory, and further issues arose when the gang all met face-to-face on the pre-honeymoon trip to Mexico.
