"After a great deal of thought, reflection and discussion we have decided to end our relationship of three years. We entered our relationship with love, and it is with love and kindness that we leave it. We both wish nothing but a great future for each other and remain dear and trusted friends, as well as co-parents to our wonderful baby, Kairo, whose happiness and well-being remains our number one priority."

"We both deeply care for each other and remain close friends. There will be no further statements or interviews regarding our relationship as we choose to move on with our lives. Though we choose to live our lives in the public eye, we thank your for you understanding and ask for privacy during this time.

Thank you to everyone for your loyalty and support."
