“The Talk” co-host Carrie Ann Inaba announced on Instagram that she and boyfriend Fabien Viteri have called it quits.
“I am single. Again,” she wrote in a selfie posted to her Story on Wednesday.
“Grateful for what was. Confused. Uncertain of the future. Sad. Hopeful,” Inaba continued.
The “Dancing With the Stars” judge then expressed how she was dealing with the split, saying she is “trying to allow the motions,” “trying to be strong” and allowing herself “space to cry.”
Inaba — who announced in April she was taking a temporary leave from “The Talk” to focus on her “health and well-being” — seemed to be staying positive and said that she will come out of their relationship even stronger than before.
“I will grow. And I will evolve. And. I will survive this too. And I will honor the gift that it was,” she said.
Inaba, 53, then opened up about their relationship, writing, “Sometimes the things you thought were forever end up only being temporary. Finding the strength to accept that it’s over is enormously painful. Losing your friend … losing the hopes and dreams … your partner … the person you shared everything with .. your person … your love.”
She continued, “It’s hard. [I’m] not going to fake that I am ok. I celebrate my emotions. Because it tells me that I’m alive and that my heart loves deeply. It was real. True love.”
The TV host first revealed they were dating in September 2020.
“I have fallen in love and I am now in a committed relationship,” she shared on “The Talk” at the time. The exes, who are neighbors, met while walking their dogs.
She added, “He’s older than I am, and he’s a wonderful human being. And now, I understand how a relationship can work. He’s been so supportive and a mature adult ’cause maybe sometimes I’m not, so that’s working really well.”
On top of the breakup and leave from the talk show, Inaba also revealed she contracted COVID-19 in December.
