The statement reads: “We wanted to make a video to address why we haven’t been vlogging together but the truth is, it was just too painful and that’s why we have been silent on the topic. We have recently made the painful decision to separate and through this hard time, we would like to thank you in advance for respecting our privacy.”

The vloggers have been known to post weekly videos together, but abruptly stopped sharing in June. Nikki has also been posting photos of herself without her wedding ring, and has removed “wife” from her Instagram bio.
