In the message, Bar wrote: "So we want to clear the air, I have had amazing times and learned so many things from Ashley. I will forever be grateful for everything but unfortunately we have come to unforeseen issues, and people grow apart."
Bar continued: "There is no specific blame being placed on either end but we but we had both respectfully agreed to part ways and continue with life unfortunately without each other. I will always be there when I'm needed and so will she, but the time to separate has come."
Though it appears to be a joint statement, Ashley did not address the news on her platforms.
