Two weeks ago Kaitlyn Carter and Brody Jenner announced that they are parting ways. On August 2 the couple’s rep told PEOPLE that the couple has decided to ‘amicably separate’. The rep also mentioned, “They love and respect one another, and know that this is the best decision for their relationship moving forward.” On August 16 Kaitlynn’s ex Brody shared a post on Instagram in which he has cited, ‘She deserves to be able to move forward with her life’.

The statement released by Brody Jenner read, “There is far too much negativity being directed at someone who I love and care about very much. I feel the need to set the story straight. Kaitlynn and I have been best friends for 6 years, and we continue to be. We, like many others before us and many after us, grew in different directions over those same 6 years. Kaitlynn is a wonderful person, beautiful and fun to be with, always a positive force in my life. We decided the best move for both of us was to keep our love for each other strong but move forward separately with our lives. I respect Kaitlynn and care deeply about her. She deserves to be able to move forward in her life with respect and happiness.”
