Reality caught up to Taylor Hale and Joseph Abdin after they left the “Big Brother” house, and although they dated for six months, Jaylor sadly announced their split. On April 19, the beauty queen posted a statement to her Instagram story, which the personal trainer and lawyer reposted. “Joseph and I have made the decision to love and support one another as best friends going forward,” she wrote. “We recognize what’s best for both of our futures at this time.”
Us Weekly learned that the breakup was due to the strains of a long-distance relationship. While the Florida State University graduate has settled in the Sunshine State, Hale wasn’t ready to make it her permanent home. Michigan is her home state, and her duties as a former Miss Michigan and career as a TV personality take her from D.C. to Arizona.
“This decision was made with lots of love, care, and acknowledgment of how special our relationship is to the both of us,” Hale continued on her Instagram story. “Ain’t no love lost over here! We will always be part of each other’s lives. Whether platonic or romantic we are, and always will be, Jaylor.”
