“It hasn’t been easy, especially coming from the show where we lived together in a beautiful environment for a couple of weeks to basically being long distance and having to rely on FaceTime and text messages,” Murphy told PEOPLE at the time. “Long distance is never easy.”

In April, PEOPLE confirmed the couple hadcalled it quits. Days later, Murphyaddressed the newsin an emotional Instagram post, writing in part: “Don’t be afraid to be the one that loved the most and give everything you had, because you’ve got to find people who love like you do and who are ready. Out with the old, in with the TRUE. It was a long winter, and I’m excited for a new season. Let the spring cleaning commence.”
Unglert, 27, also reflected on the split in his own Instagram post.
“Growing up as a kid I had a crude but utopian idea of what love is,” he said. “I always had this idea that no matter what you did, no matter how you act, as long as you’re true to yourself and act in good conscious, your path would lead you to the one person on this planet you’re meant to be with. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that although everyone DESERVES love, it’s not something we’re entitled to. Love takes work. Love is compromise. Love is earned.”
“I still have a lot of work to do on myself, a lot to prove to myself, before I’m ready for something like that,” he admitted.
