Songstress Victoria Monét has ended her relationship with her boyfriend, John Gaines. Despite calling it quit, the ex-lovers say everything is alright as they co-parent their 3-year-old daughter.
The relationship reportedly ended 10 months ago, but Victoria issued a statement only this week to confirm their “amicable decision” and also to put an end to the social rumors.
Though they initially did not want to issue an official statement, the couple said it became necessary to do so due to nagging “questions” and “extremely false accusations” about their status.
Some rumors suggested that Victor was dating Gaines while he was still courting another woman. Nevertheless, they indicate that the breakup was not a result of infidelity or toxic behavior on the part of either of them.
Victoria and John run a fitness program called Gains by Gaines. According to them, they “still completely adore and respect each other and have “some fundamental growing” to do that would be best done apart.”

In that regard, they believe they both could become the “best versions” of themselves for their daughter Hazel, who was born in February 2021.
“It simply didn’t work out and that’s OK. We still think the world of each other and operate with love in every interaction for our family… We are committed to doing the inner work and trust that God will place us both where we belong in due time,” the couple stated.
“To all our supporters, friends, and family, thank you for your love, care, and concern. Please allow us the peace and space to maintain a safe and happy environment to continue to co-parent the best of our ability for Hazel. We plan to remain a family regardless of our public-facing title,” the ex-lovebirds added.
Victoria Monet reportedly met John while filming the music video for her hit song “Moment” in 2020. It was, however, not clear if they were romantically involved at the time, but the video for the song featured passionate kisses between the two.
