Herd said: “Bumble was my long-term relationship for 10 years, and I think we both faced a moment where I looked at Bumble and said, ‘Is this my forever, or has our relationship run its course, and will we be in each other’s lives but in a different way?’
“Meaning we’re not going to be married anymore but I will still oversee and make sure its thriving and make sure its okay.
“I think I kind of broke up with Bumble in some degree.”
Meghan replied: “You were consciously uncoupling”
