Kim confirmed the break-up in an Instagram post on Saturday, Dec. 243, saying that “sometimes love is not enough” in a relationship.
“End of a love story. It took me a while to say this until today. We owe our supporters the truth, but we also respect each other’s time of healing. In a relationship, love is always a significant factor, but sometimes love is not enough,” she said.
“We shared more than a decade of love, each other’s support system, and many beautiful memories. It was our mutual decision to transition our relationship into what we hope to be a lifelong friendship,” the 33-year-old actress continued.
Kim thanked their supporters for the love, support, and understanding and asked them to allow them to move forward in private.
She then expressed gratitude to Xian for the “12 years of beautiful memories together one can never imagine.”
