‘She became a fitness freak but was just crazy. We slowly drifted apart and that was it, we were done’.
He added: ‘We had a five-acre property together, and she ran out of time for me and the animals. It was really hard because I had to take responsibility of the farm. I got all the animals. When we broke up, we had nine dogs, two alpacas, and two horses.’
