AceShowbiz - In a candid YouTube video released on Monday, December 30, Trixie Mattel announced the breakup with Silver. She explained that they had parted ways "quite some time ago" but had kept the news private out of respect for their privacy.
Mattel expressed her gratitude for the love story she shared with Silver and spoke highly of their relationship and business ventures. She emphasized that she still cares deeply for him and considers him a valued part of her life.
"It felt disappointing to not be able to make good on that [love story]," Mattel said. "But I really care about that person, and I will always care about that person."
Mattel revealed that she had been planning to share the news for some time, but had been waiting for the right moment. She noted that she had been on hiatus from social media and professional ventures over the summer, which had given her time to process and heal.
"It feels like telling you guys there's no Santa Claus in a way," she explained. "But, I really care about that person, I will always care about that person."
Mattel and Silver first met in 2016. They have been involved in several business projects together, including the reality series "Trixie Motel", which followed the couple's journey opening a motel in Palm Springs, California.
Mattel expressed her excitement for the future and emphasized that she was looking forward to a new chapter in her life. She thanked her fans for their support and understanding, and encouraged them to join her as she moves into 2025.
