In an Instagram post, the 23-year-old shared: "After much reflection and deep respect for each other, Gavin and I have made the difficult decision to journey on different paths."
She added that it "wasn't easy" to share the news, knowing there were "expectations about the future" of their relationship when they went public in 2021.

"But I want this to be a safe space for us and I believe it's important for me to be open and honest about this new journey with you all," she added.

"I love you through each chapter, and I'll love you in every next one more! Always with you, love you baby girl," said singer-actress Eleanor Lee.
"Sending love to you both," wrote actress Chantalle Ng.
