Victoria Monét’s breakup news has been officially confirmed. The Grammy winner shared a heart-melting statement on the internet. Together with her former partner, John Gaines, they expressed their regret over the news. However, the former couple revealed that there is no bad blood between them. After more than two years in their happy ever-after bubble, they shocked most fans with the news. Although this announcement comes as rumors of the exes’ breakup intensified, fans had no idea it would be true.
Victoria Monét And John Gaines Before Breakup Confirmation
Back in 2020, the pair debuted their romance. It is not known when they began dating as they prefer to keep things on the down-low. But around this same time, the singer revealed her first baby bump and together, they welcomed their daughter the following year. Since the baby’s arrival, they have reverted to maintaining a low-profile romance. In February 2024, the fitness guru was right by his beau’s side to support her Grammy nominations.
The duo had attended the Grammy Awards together with their toddler daughter, Hazel. For the Awards, the singer and her mini-me dressed in platinum gold colored dresses. Meanwhile, her plus-one stepped up the look with a cool-tone green suit. But barely seven months later, the seemingly happy couple dropped a bombshell via a statement. This statement reveals that their split happened about ten months ago.
The Duo Confirms The News
In a joint statement shared via Victoria Monét’s X, the couple revealed that they felt compelled to share the truth about their breakup. This was in no way due to the pressures from fans but rather to aid their healing process. For ten months, they have dealt with the separation privately while choosing to still adore each other. The singer emphasized that their split was mutual and it had nothing to do with the regular relationship woes. They shared:
“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. It simply didn’t work out and that’s okay.”
In an honest tone, they established their commitment to be present for their 3-year-old child. Furthermore, the ex-couple reinforced that they would develop a sound co-parenting bond for Hazel.
Having laid out how their co-parenting strategy would involve keeping Hazel as priority, they talked about external forces.
In the statement, the pair showed appreciation towards their close-knit circle, including family and friends. But they also extended gratitude to fans. At the same time, Monét and Gaines appealed to fans to be understanding. They pleaded with fans to always respect them as a family even in public amid the breakup.
Final Note
Victoria Monét and John Gaines share such an impeccable bond that refuses to be marred by selfishness. Instead, they chose to overlook their personal feelings while looking forward to a happier future for their mini-me.
