Victoria Monet and John Gaines Confirm Breakup

We are sad to announce that Grammy Award-winning singer Victoria Monét and her former partner and father of her child, Hazel Monét Gaines, have separated.

Although the web has been speculating about their split for a while now, Victoria Monet and John Gaines have yet to substantiate the top of their relationship. In a joint statement shared on social media, the 2 confirmed that they split ten months ago and try to give attention to raising their 2-year-old daughter, Hazel, together.

The statement shared on X (Twitter) reads: “We have spent the last ten months respectfully and privately trying to come to terms with the fact that we are no longer in a relationship. While we still completely love and respect each other, we are no longer a couple.”

The couple noted that no drama or toxic behavior contributed to their split; they’ve grown apart and would really like to give attention to their adolescent journeys. “We still consider each other the world and act with love in every interaction for our family. We have an amazing daughter to raise for life and she is undoubtedly our number 1 priority forever. No relationship status can erase or replace that fact. We are committed to the inner work and trust that God will place us both where we belong at the right time,” the statement continued.

While they usually are not married, they’re the proud parents of their only child, Hazel Monét Gaines, born in 2021. In a September 2021 interview with ESSENCE, Monét said that marrying Gaines is “the plan, for sure.” She continued: “We are completely in love and so enthusiastic about this latest chapter of ours… [Hazel has] She really had him wrapped round her finger and I saw him change in ways I do know he never expected. She’s raising us.”

We wish all of them the most effective as they proceed to rearrange their lives and raise their children together.
