'Real Housewives of Orange County' news: Vicki Gunvalson Broke Up with Brooks Ayers
In a joint statement on her Facebook page, "Real Housewives of Orange County," or RHOC, star Vicki Gunvalson said she has broken up with Brooks Ayers.
The 54-year-old Bravo star who was in a relationship with her boyfriend for four years said, "After much prayer, thought, counseling, and consideration, we have decided to end our four-year relationship. We both wish nothing but a great future for each other."
The statement explained that the couple came to a realization that "one can indeed love someone in their heart," but somehow the time has come for the both of them to part ways. The post went on to say that the remaining episodes of their show's season 10 will still see them as a couple since the filming was between January through May of this year.
The couple asked for privacy as they go through their split, saying, "There will be no further statements or interviews regarding our relationship as we choose to move on with our lives. Though we choose to live our lives in the public eye, we thank you for your understanding and ask privacy during this difficult time."
According to People, the couple's relationship wasn't always the best as the two have previously announced that they have split in 2013 but got back together in 2014 after Ayers was diagnosed with cancer.
Gunvalson's daughter, Briana Culberson, has also been very open to her mother about her not being in favor of Ayers.
2015 has not been a kind year to Gunvalson as she also learned about her mother's death while filming for the 10th season of RHOC. In the July episode where Culberson tells her mother the sad news, Gunvalson falls to the floor.
Meanwhile, the split seems to get messier as Ayers reportedly told his friends back in Mississippi that Gunvalson "ruined his life."
According to Radar Online, a rep for Gunvalson has slammed the issues saying, "Brooks adores Vicki and only wants the best for her."
