Five months after confirming their relationship, Taylor Hale and Joseph Abdin who featured in the 24th edition of the CBS Show Big Brother, announced their breakup.
The pair met on the stage of the reality show as houseguests.
The former Miss US Contestant, Hale, made the announcement on her Instagram story, “Joseph and I have made the decision to love and support each other as best friends going forward.”
“We recognize this is what’s best for both of our futures at this time.” she continued. “This decision was made with lots of love, care, and acknowledgment of how special our relationship is to the both of us.”
The couple announced their relationship in November, last year, and made their red-carpet debut as a couple in February at the Grammy Awards.
“We want to thank you for the love and support you’ve shown us while we navigated our relationship from friends, to lovers, and now back to friends,” the 28-year-old continued.
The former Miss Michigan Taylor won Big Brother 24 and went on a prize-winning cruise with Abdin.
“We’ve seen every message about how watching an interracial relationship form impacted you, in spite of the ongoing harassment, and we’re touched by how our love has inspired you.”
“Joseph and I will continue to support each other enthusiastically, and we encourage you to do the same, as you always have,” Hale ended the post. “Ain’t no love lost over here! We will always be part of each other’s lives. Whether platonic or romantic we are, and always will be, Jaylor.”
