Brody Jenner posted a statement about his split from Kaitlynn Carter to Instagram on Friday, August 16, in an effort to stop the rumors surrounding their breakup.
"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," Brody, 35, wrote.
He continued, "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 watch 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 with her life with respect and happiness."
Kaitlynn, 30, responded by leaving a heart emoji in the comments section on his post.

The Malibu native's clarification comes on the heels of a report that claimed he could "care less" about his estranged spouse and was "miserable" during their marriage.
Both Brody and Kaitlynn have already moved on. Brody is dating model Josie Canseco and Kaitlynn has been spending time with Miley Cyrus after they were photographed kissing on vacation in Italy.
Brody's mom Linda Thompson has also expressed her unconditional support for Kaitlynn following their breakup.
