The 33-year-old stated “the truth is that we have been drifting apart in more ways than one for a while now. I was personally generally unhappy with our progress and stagnation on the same level ever since the start of the last year.” Further stating that the biggest difference came on how to approach and solve the problems that were persistent for a while now.
