Victoria Monet, boyfriend John Gaines issue joint statement to confirm split

American singer Victoria Monet and her partner, John Gaines, have confirmed their separation after years of dating.

In a joint statement released on Monday, the couple revealed that they have been separated for ten months now.

They clarified that their separation was amicable and wasn’t because of “infidelity, toxic behaviour nor drama”.

According to them, the separation was to enable them have some fundamental growth that would be best done apart, and to be the best versions of themselves for their daughter.

The statement partly read: “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.”
