American singer Victoria Monet and her longtime partner, John Gaines, have announced their separation after several years of dating.
In a joint statement shared on the 23rd of September, 2024, they revealed that they have been apart for ten months.
The couple emphasized that their split was amicable, stating it was not due to “infidelity, toxic behavior, or drama.”
Instead, they felt that separating was essential for their personal growth and for becoming the best parents they can be for their daughter.
In part of their statement, they noted:“We spent the last 10 months trying to respectfully and privately navigate the fact that we are no longer in a relationship. Though we still completely adore and respect each other, we are not a couple anymore.
“There was no infidelity, toxic behavior nor drama. We both just have some fundamental growing to do that would be best done apart so we can remain the best versions of ourselves for our daughter.”
