“It is with a heavy heart to announce that we have decided together that it is best for us to take a break from our relationship right now,” Chelsea wrote.
She added that Jo “blew [her] heart open with love” and because of him, her “life experience has changed forever.”
“To be loved and adored by @jokoy has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. He renewed my faith in men, in love, in being 100% who I am, and I’ve never been more optimistic for the future,” Chelsea shared.

She also included that Jo renewed her “lust for working hard” as well as “being on the road” and reminded her who she was and always has been.
“This is not an ending. It’s another beginning, and it’s a comfort to know that I am still loved and love this man the way the sun loves the moon and the moon loves the sun,” Chelsea added.
