Brandon, 37, and Leah, 35, released a joint statement with the news of their breakup earlier that day on Instagram.

“It is with love in our hearts that we feel it’s time to share some personal news with you all. After celebrating 14 beautiful years together, we have lovingly come to the decision to end the romantic aspect of our relationship,” they both shared. “We are deeply proud of the life we’ve cultivated together and are truly grateful for the bond of friendship we hold and cherish today. It is stronger than ever.”

The parents of 3-year-old Eva continued the statement noting they “still love one another very, very much and remain a major part of each other’s lives,” and will stay “best friends, family and loving parents” to their daughter.

Brandon and Leah added that there was no lying, cheating or fighting that contributed to their split.
