“We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now. There are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision — just two best-friends realizing it’s time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible.”

Later on, though, Page Six reported that the real reason behind their separation was Channing’s work schedule, and even said that they eventually fell out of love due to his success and him wanting to work on his career.

Whatever the ultimate cause, Jenna told Women’s Health in July 2018 that the breakup was a ‘positive’ thing and that the relationship with Channing had “[changed] into a new form that [was] actually better for both people involved,” as she told the publication.
