Handler, who had recently been remarkably absent from Koy’s Instagram channel, wrote on Monday on his own Instagram account that the two are taking a break. He also shared a video the two had planned to post on their next one-year anniversary.
“It’s with a heavy heart to announce that we’ve decided together that it’s best for us to take a break from our relationship right now,” Handler wrote. “I know many of you were invested in our love, and I wanted to express to you how much this meant to both of you. How much it still means. And how much I now believe in love for each of us.”
He also praised Koy.
“Being loved and adored by @jokoy has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. It renewed my faith in men, in love, in being 100% who I am, and I have never been more optimistic for the future “she wrote.
Handler told Koy directly, “You opened my creativity, my lust to work hard again, to be on the road again and you reminded me of who I was and always have been, and my feet have never been more firmly planted in the ground. “
“This is not an end. It is another beginning, and it is a consolation to know that I am still loved and I love this man the way the sun loves the moon and the moon loves the sun. YOUR PERSON IS UP,” Handler wrote , and added. , “So please keep rooting for both of you, because you never know what life will bring you and first we all go to the theater on August 5th to buy tickets for Jo’s new movie, EL EASTER SUNDAY and Philippine Pride! Let’s Go! “
Handler and Koy met more than 20 years ago and often appeared in the old E! show, “Chelsea Lately.” When he revealed his relationship last year, Handler wrote, “I’m finally in love, with the best kind of man there is. There’s hope for everyone!”
