Travis Mills just confirmed his split with Madelaine Petsch in a heartbreaking Instagram post.
The 30-year-old actor and musician wrote that despite the personal significance of the relationship, he felt fans deserved an explanation because of their support over the past few years.
“Our relationship has been in the public eye for the last 3 years. What’s ironic about my most public relationship is that behind the scenes it was the most non-superficial & grounding experience in my life. While it pains me our journey has come to a close, I mean it when I say I’m so incredibly grateful to have shared the last 3 years with someone as compassionate, smart & wonderful as Madelaine. The personal growth made possible by our time together I wouldn’t trade for anything,” Travis wrote.
He continued, “Red carpets, parties, photoshoots, TV etc create this alternate reality where we are one-dimensional people, free of real world challenges, kicking our feet up, waiting for the next big job. I wish our lives really looked like a google image search of our names. In reality we’re ambitious & hard-working individuals, dealing with rejection, in different states/countries, wondering what the next best move is, trying to see friends/family, take care of our dogs, answering an ocean of e-mails, balancing REAL LIFE & doing it all while being separated by it.”
Travis added that while their careers provided a “mountain of challenges,” the couple were “in it together. It challenged me, kept me honest, made me more compassionate, and helped me do some very necessary growing up. The highest highs were made better, the lowest lows were livable, because of her. I’ve learned so much about myself & life from that unconditional love and support.”
“While I’m holding back tears I’m excited to see what you do next. I’ll always have your back,” Travis concluded, while thanking fans for their support.
We’re so sad about Travis and Madelaine‘s split and wish them both the best.
