Ariana Biermann and Hudson McLeroy’s love story has come to a surprising end.
“Hudson and I have decided to go our separate ways,” Biermann, 23, wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, October 14. “While these things are never easy, we both know it’s what’s best for us right now. We are so grateful for all the love and support you’ve shown us over the years.”
While details surrounding the split are unknown at this time, the Next Gen NYC star pointed out that “sometimes, life takes you in different directions and that’s ok.”
She concluded her post with a makeshift heart, adding, “Love you all.”
McLeroy also confirmed the split by sharing his now ex-girlfriend’s Instagram Story.
Hours before the announcement, Biermann shared a selfie from New York’s JFK International Airport at 5:48 a.m., looking upset.
According to Bravo, Biermann and McLeroy had been dating on and off since they were in junior high. The pair first started sharing photos of each other via Instagram in 2018.
When celebrating McLeroy’s birthday in 2022, Biermann gave fans a glimpse into just how far their bond went.
“You are everything I could dream of, and have been since we were 14,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “You have the purest sweetest soul of anyone I know. I’m so thankful I get to love you, and to experience your love. It’s one of a kind. You have brought me more happiness than I knew was possible.”
Biermann added, “Thank you for helping me w[ith] my battles throughout these last 7 years, I don’t know what I would do without you. My twin flame. You make me whole.”
When Next Gen NYC premiered on Bravo in June, cameras rolled as the couple agreed to take the next step in their relationship by moving into a New York City apartment together.
Things appeared to be going so well for the pair that discussions of an engagement and marriage were ongoing.
“I mean, so this might sound crazy, and I get it, but I have a five-year rule,” Biermann confessed to Bravo’s The Daily Dish in August. “So, if he doesn’t propose in five years, which is in a little less than two years, it’s a no.”
At the same time, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star didn’t want to rush her boyfriend into doing something he wasn’t completely ready or willing to do..
“But I don’t want to rush him, you know, make him feel, like, pressure,” she continued. “But he talks about it all the time. So, I’m like, ‘Stop talking about it and do it or don’t do it.’ Everyone’s getting engaged! Really, everybody?”
One fan who supported Biermann and McLeroy’s relationship was her mom, Kim Zolciak.
During an August appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the Bravo star said she was a fan of her daughter’s boyfriend.
“I found a little tweet that she had — a message on Twitter that she sent me — and she said, ‘Mom, I just love Hudson, I’m going to wait for him,’” she recalled to host Andy Cohen. ”She was 17. I sent her a screenshot of it! I was like, ‘Ariana, do you remember this? This is crazy.’”
