Mabel gad in an Instagram post revealed that her dream of a lifelong marriage had taken a “different direction,” and she was now committed to “moving forward with grace and resilience.” A stark admission if there ever was of the pair going their separate ways.
Mabel had further added in her post that it was a challenging period for her, and asked for “privacy and consideration as we (my ex-husband and I) find our own path [going] forward.”
In reaction to Mabel’s post, AY expressed optimism that the challenging period would blow over.

“This too shall pass.”
