"I think the most important thing above all, is to remain true to yourself," Ellis wrote alongside a photo of him posing outside NBC Studios. "Even if things don’t work out the way you originally planned, God always has a plan. The internet is a funny place of different peoples opinions and that’s OK … everyone is entitled to that."
"But regardless of the rumors or what people may think or the pressure that come with being seen, The main thing for me is to be the reason somebody believes in good." he continued. "Life has a funny way of shaping character and to grow from experiences is a personal choice. And for me … im always going to choose growth 🤘🏾"
Ellis and Pasquarosa announced their breakup on Friday, June 13, only a few months after their engagement episode aired in March.
"Juliana and I have decided to end our relationship." Ellis wrote via his Instagram story. "We both gave this our best and poured a lot of love into each other, but after a lot of deep conversations, we've come to the understanding that we're simply not the right fit long term."
"What we had was meaningful. The connection we built on the show was real, and so was the effort we made to continue once the cameras stopped rolling." he added.
Pasquarosa also took to Instagram stories to share the news, writing alongside a photo of their first meeting, "Marriage is a commitment and it's one we both still believe in deeply. After a lot of honest conversations and reflection, we've come to the decision that this chapter of our lives is meant to continue on separate paths."
Pasquarosa said they're till "cheering each other on," asking fans to be "please be kind."
