While Iggy released the following statement on Instagram:

“Unfortunately, although I love Nick and I have tried and tried to rebuild my trust in him — It’s become apparent in the last few weeks I am unable to. I genuinely wish Nick the best. It’s never easy to part ways with the person you planned you’re entire future with, but futures can be rewritten and as of today mine is a blank page.”

Regardless of how you feel about Iggy, being cheated on sucks, and nobody deserves that. We wish them both the best.
