"After considerable thought, reflection and mixed emotions, we have decided to separate. We are two strong-willed, hard-working, and resilient people who hold nothing but love for each other. As painful as divorce is, we are thankful that no infidelity or other interests were involved in our decision, and we are parting as friends. We both want to see each other succeed and reach the pinnacle of success in our business and life. We want to thank you advance for your support as we navigate the next chapter of our lives, and we ask that you respect our privacy and keep us in your prayers."
The pair were engaged in November in 2019 and married in August 2020. Both have only wrestled a handful of times since, with Blanchard working seven matches for various indies between 2020 and 2022, with Daga doing the same until a return to AAA for two dates last December.
