Ariana, Tom and Raquel have since broken their silence about the matter. Tom wrote on Instagram March 7, “I made mistakes, I was selfish, and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love. No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly. My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana.”
The following day, Raquel took to Instagram with her own public apology, writing, “I want to apologize for my actions and my choices foremost to Ariana, and to my friends and the fans so invested in our relationships. There is no excuse, I am not a victim and I must own my actions and I deeply regret hurting Ariana.”
Following their words, Ariana broke her silence on March 16 by penning a message on her healing journey post-split.
“I am so f–king lucky to have the best support system in the world and I hope I can repay every single person for the love you have shown me,” the 37-year-old wrote on Instagram. “What doesn’t kill me better run.”
